To be honest i do not know the rights of an apprentice, but if like you say your are out on jobs on your own then £7 an hour is a little carp.
If your doing bathroom suites day in day out alone and learning next to nothing then your not an apprentice. I bet you do as good a job as time served guys except your boss pays you much less.
A friend of mine who's time is nearly out makes around £130 clear a shift installing bathrooms and i sometimes see him in the pub by 3pm.
So its not bullshit.
My advice: if you need/want more money look for an another firm and/or do some work in your own time too.
