  • We had a small leak in the bathroom which rotted the plyboard under the tiles, swelled it and popped the tiles up. Leak is fixed. Just had someone in to quote for replacing the plyboard and tiles, plus re-fitting a tile on the wall where they went in to fix the leak. Bathroom floor is 1m by 2m. Also included was tiling the kitchen floor, 1m by 3m, where the plyboard is fine. We would supply tiles. He quoted £1,100. That’s mad, right?

  • Standard reply - ask what their hourly rate is and take it from there. 'So you're saying it'll take X hours to fix this?' Much easier if you break it down like that.

  • Also, get quotes from other builders for comparison.

  • Sounds like 3 days work (depending on the kind of tiles which I assume you will be providing).
    Someone decent will be £200 a day, plus materials...

    You could be at £800 there already.
