I'm back baby!
Just had a quote from a plasterer and wondered whether it would match your opinions.

3mx2m (or about 10 foot by 6.6 foot) bathroom, if I was to do all boarding and the lighting, etc. So the plasterer is, in effect, just skimming though there will be some small areas he'll have to fill too.

What do you think a ballpark quote would be? Ta
 
He's not even a proper plasterer. He's more of a handyman, and it was made clear before the quote that if he was reasonably priced with good work we would use him again. It's not just ceiling as we're not tiling everything, which is why I'm getting quotes for plastering - I would give it a go but we need a good finish and it's not something I've done before.

His quote feels 50-80% too high to me. I've got another couple of people coming to quote anyway.
 
See, the responses here are exactly what I was expecting to be quoted. I was expecting £200-£250 but hoping for less.

Had another round this morning that wants £450, yes, FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY POUNDS STERLING just to skim a bloody bathroom. I would expect the boarding to be delivered and fitted, and the damn bathroom suite fitted as well for that price.

Does anyone have any experience with Rated People?
 
I have found a football buddy that does this as a sideline alongside shopfitting :) If it's gonna be a high quote at least he'll explain in real terms why!
