Can you believe prices from plumbers differ? well firstly I will just explain what needs to be done :
each one had a draft drawing of our requirements!
new position of overhead shower, hand shower, diverter, new position of radiator, fix new sink, fix new loo, pipework to be replaced in the cylinder cupboard, new pump - plus we have decided to make slight alteration in the utility room which includes replacing loo and sink.
bearing in mind plumber 3 quoted extra for tiling ONLY:-
so in the case of plumber 1 & 2 we have had prices for plastering, tiling, and electrics which we will take care of...
right then here goes:-
Plumber 1 - price quoted £900.00 ( but this plumber came directly from
the pub not so sure about him)
Plumber 2 - price quoted £1650.00 (I was very confident with this guy)
Plumber 3 - price quoted £6000.00 (Hmmm I think he was having a laugh)
the extra work under his remit was the tiling!!!!!!!!!!
So what a dilemma - - it's always advisable to get three quotes ; i must point out plumber 1 I've actually worked with him before although he is OK he does have a habit of uping the price once he's started... and on this occasion I'm on a budget and whoever I choose (which could be plumber 2) THERE'S NOTHING IN THE POT FOR CHANGE - PRICE QUOTED, PRICE ACCEPTED AND THAT'S THE PRICE THAT WILL BE PAID...
Plumber 2 does seem very confident and did come out with one or two savings 'MY GUT FEELING' maybe I should go with plumber 2 (Jason) never worked with him before but he does seem reliable and I feel comfortable with him...
well folks i'll keep you informed...
