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?

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.0 -

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
ETA: The panel is dead easy to take off, as I was the one who built it:rotfl:Ahahah got my signature removed for claiming MSE thought it was too boring :rotfl:0
