How much is a reasonable price to change a bathroom door handle and maybe a front door handle

"60-100 depending on handle pricinFor replacing a bathroom door handle:

Labour: £35–£50
Handle: £10–£25 depending on quality
Reasonable total: £45–£70

For a front door handle, I’d allow a little more because the mechanism/lock can be more awkward:

Labour: £40–£60
Handle/furniture: £20–£50+
Reasonable total: £60–£100
If they want both done in one visit

I'd probably quote around £80–£100 labour including fitting, plus the cost of the handles.

Or, if you're supplying standard decent handles yourself, something like £110–£130 all-in for both would be a perfectly reasonable customer price.g"

"Hi, for the bathroom door handle, a straightforward replacement would normally be around £45–£55 labour.

For the front door, I'd need to know what type of door and locking mechanism you have before giving a price. This is because external door locks can have specific security and insurance requirements, so I wouldn't want to recommend changing anything without checking the existing setup first.

If you can provide a photo of the front door handle and the edge of the door where the lock mechanism is, I can advise further."

"Bathroom door handle: £40–£70 fitted

Front door handle: £50–£90 fitted, assuming it’s just the handle and not the lock/mechanism

Both at the same time: £80–£130 total labour, plus the cost of the handles"

"For a straightforward like-for-like replacement, a reasonable price would normally be around £80–£120 for an internal bathroom door handle, including a basic handle. Replacing both the bathroom and front-door handles may cost approximately £150–£250 plus any specialist hardware.

The exact price depends on whether the existing holes and lock positions match. Front-door handles can cost more if they form part of a multipoint locking system or if the door needs filling, drilling or making good. Sending photographs and measurements to the tradesperson should allow them to provide a more accurate quotation."
