Can anyone see my post I'm new to this

Yes we can see it.

I assume you are a tradesman and gave a price but are now saying you underpriced it.

Reality is, if you gave a 'quote' then thats it. You can't ask for more. If you gave an 'estimate', then you can adjust your price.

But something tells me you did't put it in writing and only gave it verbally.

Welcome to the problematic world of estimating.

Edit: just seen your name (which breaks forum rules). You are a tradesman, and you already know the answer to your query.

Here you go highlighted the important bit . you may get some more jobs from it if you've done well . Maybe you would have overpriced and not got the job.

as phill said
so what did you quote/estimate ?
that sounds like a £2k + job all day long
