    dunno what etch you’ve used or your meter rate but…

    9.5m + logo’s… 1.5m? say 11m for argument sake, oracle 8510 is about £5pm incl vat. I retail etch at £20pm min,

    so, £220 for materials, i don’t generally charge extra for app tape.

    2-3hrs to clean glass, prep, apply and clean up? £50-75,

    travel charged at hourly rate unless it’s under 30min round trip, so i’d factor that in too.

    so, etch only… £270-295 (no vat) plus poss travel expense too.

    cheers,
    Hugh

    My initial working out would have been about £33pm inclusive… based on 11m.

    i checked the rob horne prices and the materials are cheaper now so i priced accordingly, though going by your prices it makes my lower price of £27pm too cheap.

    i’ve been meaning to review prices for a good while now, will watch this with interest.

    Just worked it out on Clarity (which hasn’t been updated since I left Scotland 2009 so prices may be wrong)

    £392.20

    Cheers Dave

    £160.00 +vat for 11m of Metamark Silver Etch. Accounting for Delivery.

    + Installation (£50-75), + Design & Weeding of the logos (£50-75)

    £260.00 + VAT min

    £310.00 + VAT max

    Realistically I would be lucky to get £200.00… I don’t loose any sleep over them going else where.

    Hi all really appreciate the advice its so hard to put a price to something when its already finished but I had in mind the £350 mark so im there or thereabouts, considering its for a business neighbour I will go in around that figure and not charge him extra for saturday prep and Saturday install 😮 that way he gets a discount of sorts 😀

    Thanks again – John
