Refreshing your bathroom: how target pricing works for plumbing jobs

What is target pricing?

Target pricing is a pricing method where the focus is not on an hourly rate, but on the job itself.
For common bathroom jobs, we determine a target price in advance. This price is based on:

• The average time an experienced plumber needs

• The complexity of the job

• The required expertise

• Market prices and customer expectations

• Including VAT and with no hidden costs

The result is a fixed starting price, giving customers clarity upfront. Why fixed prices are better than hourly rates

With hourly rates, costs increase the longer a job takes. With fixed prices based on target pricing, this works differently: the price is agreed upfront. Plumbers are not paid per hour, but for completing the job properly.

That means efficient work, no dragging out time, and no surprises afterwards. Clear and fair for the customer, and full focus on quality for the professional.

Example of a bathroom job and a target price (2026)

Installing a bathroom cabinet

From €175 incl. VAT

This price is based on:

• Removing the old cabinet (if needed)

• Installing and levelling the new cabinet

• Connecting the tap and drain

• Checking for leaks

The target price assumes a standard situation. Any additional work (such as relocating pipes) is always discussed in advance.

When does the price differ from the target price?

The target price applies to the most common situations. Sometimes a bathroom is different than average, for example due to:

• Old pipework

• Non-standard dimensions

• Hidden defects

In such cases, the plumber will always discuss this beforehand. Transparency remains the starting point.

Why target pricing works well for bathroom jobs

• No quotation hassle

• No unexpected costs

• Faster scheduling

• More trust between customer and professional

For customers, this means peace of mind. For professionals, it means clarity and full focus on craftsmanship.
