shower quotation

[james the spark]

been asked to price for a new shower supplied and plumed new supply how much would you charge i figured about 270 is that too low shower costs 138.

 

[mayfair]

too low IMO unless its a straight replacment ie like for like, Who's doing plumbing?

 

[james the spark]

Im doing pluming everything all new. what would u quote for that its a easy run from db about 5m.

 

[telectrix]

maybe too low. what size cable? if 10mm i,d go for £200 + cost of shower. have you got RCD in place or do you have to provide?

and that's without the plumbing.

 

[james the spark]

Just a 7kw shower so going for the old 6mm and rcd is already in place.

Going on the info I would quote 350. Gives you a profit of 212 minus cable and plumbing costs.

 

[mayfair]

Sounds better

I would always install a 10.0mm T+E Cable as standard practice for shower installs even though this is were someone could beat your quote, I would also advise that you would then be able to upgrade to a more powerful shower later on.

I'd install whatever suited the connected load and overcurrent protective device, win the work then on to the next job, why risk losing the work on the basis of a future upgrade?

In this case for such a small run, the difference is negligible but it can soon mount up.

I agree, but maybe the best option would be to quote for the minimum, but say...

'If you spend £--- more, you would be able to upgrade to a more powerful unit in the future without the need or cost of re-cabling'

that way at least you are giving them an informed choice:8:
