Coving repair / installation

How much would it roughly cost to remove or repair old coving in 2 standard rooms (I believe this it is plaster) and install new coving in 2 other rooms?

"You are looking at £100 per room to remove old plaster for labour and then £200 per room for the two other standard rooms this doesn’t include price of coving and adhesive etc are you supplying the materials or do you need a price for the two rooms for coving you will need to post room sizes in order to work out price per sq metre each room"

"Probably looking at two to three days labour cost , a decent rate would be £240 a day depending on if it’s labour only or supply and fit"

"Depends on size of rooms,but l would estimate best part of a day to take off and a day to refit new ones.
Can't the plaster ones be repaired?"

"POLYSTYRENE COVING IS MUCH LIGHTER THAN THE OLD PLASTER TYPE- YOU CAN REPAIR THE EXISTING OLD PLASTER COVING WITH A TUB OF POLYFILLA OR SIMILAR, LET IT DRY AND THEN SANDPAPER IT WITH VERY FINE PAPER TO MATCH UP. THE NEW ROOMS WOULD BE QUITE EASY TO INSTALL THE POLYSTYRENE COVING ESPECIALLY IF YOU BUY THE READY AVAILABLE CORNER ANGLES. DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF YOUR ROOMS BUT AN AVERAGE ROOM WOULD COST APPROX. £80-100, THE REPAIR AGAIN DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF THE DAMAGE APPROX. £15-20"
