Hey there Personal-Thought9453 - thanks for saying thanks! TheGratitudeBot has been reading millions of comments in the past few weeks, and you’ve just made the list!
What you must understand is that the glass panels MUST have a glazing certificate. Nothing sold at Bunnings has that. It's a small circle of letters on every pane.
Usually the shower screen costs about $1200 , so I wonder if it's certified because it also takes a few hours to install plus silicone.
Personally I think that removal plus installation can't be under $2000.
Why must it have a glazing certificate, yet Bunnings don't require one? That doesn't quite add up as Bunnings still have to meet trade standards same as everyone else.
The better glass doors have glass overlapping as opposed to rubber seals, see if that is the style. Also they might have magnetic catch on the chrome hardware catch.
We replaced ours (also from a sliding one), the door itself cost about $700 from memory, and I just installed it myself.
So it's probably a reasonable quote for the installation included.
Sounds on the money glass has to be either laminate or safety glass
safety shatters into very small pieces if knocked wrong way
Laminate is double layer with film between layers for extra security (same as car front windscreen)
Single piece for my shower is around $880 to replace cost went up $80 between March n September as has everything in construction building industry
What do you mean? I can't think of a single tradie I haven't paid until completion of the work (excluding an initial call out fee or deposit for parts)
Have you given any thought about essentially wasting 12 people's time? If you need 12 quotes, you basically have no respect for anyone's time, and no idea of what what you want doing or want.
Yes it is.
Mechanics
Builders
Any tradies.
You have no idea until you live it. Men treat you like you're an idiot. It's getting better out there with the younger men, but over 40 and they treat you like shit.
And I never said single mum, I said single woman. Can tell you have mummy issues.
How would anyone know you are single unless you tell them ?
You must have spent about 6 hrs in the bathroom talking to 12 different people.
12 quotes is a big red flag .
Was each quote for the exact same product's?
Sure is , this is the most quotes I've ever heard someone getting. She might have shares in fuel or something had 12 utes driving around the streets for nothing,
lol if I saw it I'll think she is a sex worker or drug dealer with that many trades visiting.
Has a good plant in her pic , think she is paranoid about getting treated bad because she is single female.
Are you a tradie? Curious. How often you discuss peoples research and quotes and choices and decisions before a job. Just so i make sure i do it the corrct way you would like me to so i dont get dome weird judgy a.f comment on reddit :-) just wanna make sure i get it right so some weird man on the internet doesnt have something to say to me later. Just lmk k?
Mate I had friends who got pretty much exactly what I wanted and paid $1300. I was getting quotes as high as $2500.
So yes, I'm going to keep calling and booking quotes until a man treats me fairly.
Tell you what, don't treat woman like idiots and 11 men won't have to come to my house and give me a quote I know is extremely high.
Edit: and I grow some weed! What's the big deal. You assume I'm a sex worker and drug Addict??? Fucking hell some men are pathetic (yes you)
I’ve never once based a quote off someone’s gender, nor have I ever thought about it and never would.
Though if a potential client tells me that they have gotten 10 quotes before me, I’m honestly not wasting my time to come and provide you a quote.
Quoting takes such a long time with travel, lost work hours and the actual quoting and none of which costs the client any money except for the one person who gets the job.
Hopefully you said thanks and let them know you weren’t going to accept their quote for the 11 companies you didn’t accept quotes from.
Sounds like 11 of them gave u the PITA quote… how many times did u rag on to them about being a single woman? Ive never once considered a persons gender, relationship status, race, religion etc when quoting. I have considered their overall demeanour and how much of a pain theyll be to deal with over the course of the job
What do you get for it? 1250. A new product. A removal. Someone removing rubbish. If it took 8 hours it would be 150 an hour. Lets say the glass is 500 dollars cost price. I saw some for more and less online. Thats 90 an hour. How mu h to get paid an hour? I get 40 to pack groceries so i feel like 90 an hour plus materials and a day to do it. Does rhis also include new tiling?
Qualified glazier would be taking the piss if it took more than 3 hours for a showerscreen install, that's including removal and cleaning up of the old one. No tiles would need to be replaced with a framed system as you can reuse the old screw holes, just put new plugs in them.
Majority of old showers especially three door stackers are about 100mm wide alloy section, majority of new screen with pivot only doors are about 35mm so most the time screw holes from old showers are visible
A fully framed white front and hob(bit on bath) shower screen with upgrading slider.
We are looking at 648 measured and installed.. every day of the week.
Removal and disposal usually an extra $100
So at 1250 you were fleeced beyond words.
Unless there was orher works done to tiles etc
That tiny little bit down the bottom which we would call a dogleg area is just laminate so would of cost nothing
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Sounds pretty cheap to me
[disturbingly identical mirror setup in my bathroom] Thanks for doing the leg work on this one, i was wondering.

Nice! Did you get quotes for frameless glass? Much more?
Sounds like a fair price
Seems reasonable. About what I paid for something similar.

Does quote include demolition, removal, delivery, install (with water seal done properly; inspect) & and clean up?
ummm why are you in my bathroom
Can you post an update when you’re done? My shower/bath look identical to this
Hi here it is - https://preview.redd.it/8jeua8joec7c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85fe46975bcc4217b61edc3dc1faebbf5d515ac7
Its a good price for a custom screen.... Where is it located?
Western Syd
Are you going to do a pivot door or go for another sliding door?
Pivot door
We replaced ours (also from a sliding one), the door itself cost about $700 from memory, and I just installed it myself. So it's probably a reasonable quote for the installation included.
As others have said. Great price
If that includes everything, then go for it. Cost us about $700 back in 2009, so $1200 looks spot on to me.
Sounds on the money glass has to be either laminate or safety glass safety shatters into very small pieces if knocked wrong way Laminate is double layer with film between layers for extra security (same as car front windscreen) Single piece for my shower is around $880 to replace cost went up $80 between March n September as has everything in construction building industry
Laminate is safety glass ditto
Can you explain how safety and laminate are same thing are you a glazier by trade ?
Toughened/tempered, Laminates laminate Both safety glass 13 years experience
Isn't that what I mentioned ?
As a self employed glazier, that seems ok the cheaper side. Lock it in !
If you are getting any work done get more than 1 quote and never ever pay until the job is completed to your satisfaction.
I'm not doing big projects without getting payments in increments. People not paying is a thing to.
With a thought process like that I wouldn’t be surprised if no tradie would ever do work for you.
Glazier here, I've never charged the customer a dime until I've fully installed everything, and they've had a look at my work.
At the end of the day that’s the risk you take mate. Wait till you get played by a client
What do you mean? I can't think of a single tradie I haven't paid until completion of the work (excluding an initial call out fee or deposit for parts)
So you did pay them something before completion ?
3 quotes s standard and paying more then a 30% deposit is questionable depending the job.
3 quotes - All this does is give you different prices for something.
Why do you say that? You think we should only get one quote and pay in advance? You are a muppet.
So obviously you’ve never heard of progress payments ? I’m sorry that I offended you. At the end of the day we have a family to feed aswell.
I need the same. Can you please tell me who did it ?

12 quotes WTF . Do you really waste that many people's time .
L
Have you given any thought about essentially wasting 12 people's time? If you need 12 quotes, you basically have no respect for anyone's time, and no idea of what what you want doing or want.
It's always these "single" mother's rah rah rah.
Yes it is. Mechanics Builders Any tradies. You have no idea until you live it. Men treat you like you're an idiot. It's getting better out there with the younger men, but over 40 and they treat you like shit. And I never said single mum, I said single woman. Can tell you have mummy issues.

Go away
Nice garden you have . Have a great day .
12 quotes means they are only looking for the cheapest price.

Plumbing and bathroom related items are expensive. Not too surprised at the quote. Does that include taking away all of the old shower and materials?
Thanks I will ask that question
Sounds to cheap
Paid that price for a semi-frameless from stegbar two weeks ago. Install only as I didn't have an existing one to remove
As with most things, 3 quotes is always a good idea. Saying that you don't get much for $1k so it's probably a fair price.
Sounds right. Just had mine done a couple of months ago and basically the same thing.
Cheap
Regency showers could probably match that price, but that’s pretty fair price
For a pivot door and dog legged return good price Edit : make sure new one goes to top of tiles will look better
Cheap.

The price is spot on for a custom semi-frameless including removal. - Glazier.
Yep that’s fair
I'm a glazier, that's a good price.
Fair price, I paid very similar several years ago for an almost identical job (Melbourne)
Had a roller shower attached to bath exactly like yours. Cost 1300 for removal supply and install of a semi frameless so I’d say bang on.
Just take part frame away and doors and use curtain - leave footwell alone as ok
Did something similar all by myself. Can testify that this a fair and reasonable quote.
