A bathroom fitter working in North East typically charges £205–£340 a day (£26–£43 an hour), ex VAT — 15% below the UK average of £320 a day. The lowest rates in mainland Britain, but so are the overheads. Established trades in Newcastle, Sunderland and Durham compete on reputation more than price.
Bathroom fitting rolls several trades into one person or a small team, which is why full renovations are priced per bathroom. The day rate applies to the fitter's time on extras, repairs and part-jobs.
