I try to avoid working on a day rate at all costs, i use a cost per day to work out pricing for larger jobs but would never quote a day rate to a customer, NEVER!

quote what the job is worth for decent profit for YOU!

quickest way to cap your earnings is to work on a day rate!

the customer expects you there all day(and a discount if not)which also ruins your chances of fitting in other work to boost your profit, plus all extras are expected for free if you fit it into the same day, ive even had a customer asking me to hang pictures up to make up the rest of the day, cause i finished his list of jobs early!!

its really bad for business, working on a day rate!!! Only work on a fixed price, and a callout/ hourly rate for faults etc

get in, get out, get paid, next job, no time constraints, or expectations from the client!

That completely depends on what your day rate is and who you are working for.
