I've just fitted a new tap to our kitchen sink. It took me nearly 4

instructions on the rather complicated Bristan Easyfit tap. Great taps,
awful instructions.

But 4 hours! I'd expect to pay a plumber no more than £100-150, and that
might well include coming to quote first.

I dont often do taps,but since lockdown I've had to do a number of
plumbing jobs, I reckon I'd be able to do it in well under a hour. I did
a deck mixer last week, I didnt adjust the pipework, took around 20
minutes.


I obviously need to go in the remedial class.

It took me five minutes just getting the doors back on the cupboard.

It's just practice. After doing it a few times you know what to do & what works, what doesn't. Result: many times faster.
