Whats a fair price for Tap replacement?

Hi guys
I am changing my bathtaps, I have the replacement ones ready to go and was going to try it myself, but really don't have the tools. So I was going to ask for a few quotes, problem is I am a bit out in the sticks so not many to choose from! The builder next door has offered to have his plumber look and quote. What would be a fair price? I like this builder and he is well known and liked around here, so would prefer to go with his plumber, but really don't know how much this would cost? :confused:

  • Going rate where I am is £25. Should only take 30mins - 1 hour.

    £25 is cheap, if you can get it done for that snap their hands off!

    Depends if the bath is cast iron or fibreglass. If its Cast if probably impossible or will take a lot of work. Fibreglass bath , assuming panel comes off easily , I too would charge £50 - £75.

    Why are you changing the taps? Its much easier and cheaper to replace the heads and bodies.
    On the internet you can be anything you want.It`s strange so many people choose to be rude and stupid.

    I paid £30 by my nearly retired plumber last year, he is cheap compared to the rest

    The bath is only 7 years old so guessing its fibre glass, the taps are horrible and cold tap has rusted up completely (its either off or teeny tiny dribble) So can't have a shower, time consuming to have a bath each morning, plus I got the one I really really liked, in the sales for £100 off :j and very MSE ;):D

    ETA: The panel is dead easy to take off, as I was the one who built it ;)
