    I would not do bathroom refits on a hourly rate

    Fixed quoted price only

    If you supply material it could go horribly wrong when you have tradesmen fiddling there thumbs when you either dont have the material or have unsuitable material

    Even worse you could have a trademan who likes to drag his heels a little

    I agree on the price base - get a quote for the job, or you could be signing a blank cheque. But most plumbers I have used want you to buy the suite etc. yourself. Good idea to discuss the suite that you want when the plumber visits to give a quote.
