Almost €90/hour incl. tax for a normal fitter hour, phew. It seems to me that this trend runs through the entire offer and I can understand that this seems too high to you. I would end it and live with a compromise for a while. He himself knows exactly that this is really expensive. I only see a simple bath-shower tub, nothing special. Do tiles, sinks, fittings, etc. actually come on top?

I think the offer is simply wrong and the tile position was accidentally listed twice.

P.S. I had a small liability claim with the car. 17.50 EUR net for 1 unit of work. My workshop therefore charged 175 EUR for 1 hour. Sure, insurance. Still crazy.

No, really just shower, bathtub and the associated tiling work; the rest of the bathroom remains unchanged

Basically fooling the insurance has apparently become reality, which ultimately still falls back on the community. My impression now is that pure greed has also found its place in the trades. My neighbor also paid about €200 for one hour of car repair, sorry but I find that downright outrageous. I keep seeing medical bills from time to time and I have to say, a cardiologist or internist is almost a low performer compared to such a car repair shop or a tiler. Such hourly rates cannot be justified by anything, not even by Corona, the price of wood or anything else, and certainly not by electricity costs anymore if you take a closer look. Everyone finds a different, trivial reason for their price explosion. So, for example, if a properly working care worker had such a water damage, she would basically be bankrupt.

Hi,

you yourself wrote:


That is exactly your problem. You commissioned someone without obtaining an offer beforehand. And now you are surprised that it is expensive.... That was (to put it mildly) not optimal...

Best regards,

Andreas

Of course, but that's not the issue, of course the services rendered will be paid for, but the follow-up contract does not have to be awarded, my basic question is whether this is normal or if I better commission another company for the remaining work
