just got a call from a quote i did for a hot tub.

did not get the job by the way!

bit annoyed really, but it got me thinking!
Ok, new sub board req (rcd protected)from a new henley block where i would have split tails.
10 meters internal run 6mm, 25 metres external run with armoured, lift 16 slabs and bury cable, re-lay with sand all nice and even into rotary isolator in shed, back out 6 metres under 5 slabs, lift and re-lay to hot tub location.
Install bonding to gas and water as non existant, 50 metres in total, pain to run in under kitchen units too, test, cert etc and guarentee for 1 yr.

£450 all in including materials which were £202.00!!!!!

so, am i too expensive or was she after a cheap one?!

thoughts please, and if so what would u have charged?

they always say that if you never loose any jobs on price you are too cheap. I would have though around 550 for the job.

My wife sells hot tubs and the like to millionaires for thousands of pounds a go but when it comes down to the tradesmen that make the magic happen, all of a sudden their wallets tighten. That was a cheapish quote and I would have bitten your hand off if I was the customer. It would be good to go back to the house in six months time to see what the installation is like and if its still working? Oh just thought, is it because its winter and hot tubs are a summer item the reason why they think they should get it cheap?
