basically I priced a job for a guy I said there's about 2 days work for me and lad plus material money which is gonna be x pounds he said fine crack on ,so I went today got it all bonded cleaned up and I was finished for bout 1.30 it went sweet , all ready to skim tomorrow, he has just rang me and said what time will you be done tomorrow so I can pay you I said about 2 same as today he said how much will I owe you then I said what we agreed x pounds but you finished early today he said and looks like you will tomorrow, so what i said if the job had run over time I wouldn't have charged you any more price is the price

Trust me I'm fuming about but also he got me on Checkatrade so could leave a bad review
 
Lol more people working for check a trade it's a recuring theme on here, you either work for yourself or them hahahhahaha
 
Tell him it had to be done over two days, and you can't go anywhere else to earn money at 2 o clock.
Also that if you were on an hourly rate you could have strung it out to 3 days.
He can't have it both ways.
A price is a price that's it

Been caught myself before now. Never again.... always give written quote now. No exceptions.
Day rate and price are different things. f**k**s can't pick and choose to suit...

Only if you let it, as you will know when looking at work you should also assess the customer. I imagine here he has shown some weakness and that is potentially being exploited.
Additionally if you price a job as a specific two days then you like here leave yourself open. If you price it as that is what the job is going to cost and I'll need to do it over a 2 day period then there can be no dispute.
