Well under mate. Work out how many hours it took you, and learn for the future. I was taught this about pricing, You price for what you can see, and you do hourly rate for what you cant see. Your customers will always ask you for a rough idea of what a job may cost, you give a quote for what you can see, and an estimate for what you cant.
I will say this, no customer of mine has ever had to pay the full price on an estimate, and I dont jack the prices either, even when a meaty job comes out a ton or so under estimate the customers as estatic.

bloody key board- should say "are estatic " and by the way, a kitchen rewire is a grand.

I would have thought £900 - £ 1000.00 taking labour, materials and overheads into account.
