Yes of course. Although I would charge the electrician out at a higher rate to compensate for arranging the work and being on the hook if something goes wrong. Up to you.
How does your customer know what the skip cost? What agreement was reached as to who is responsible for getting rid of the waste?
If you intend to charge her cost with no mark up then she is right as the cost to you is £208.40.
If you hired the skip without telling her you'd charge her extra for it (and how much), I'd say the whole cost is on you.
You've provided a free skip, just as several people (now including me) have provided free advice.
If she's offering to cover your cost, she's being very kind. Will you offer the kind folk in here the same? Cover our costs?
hwads - contributors to this site get upset when someone who isn't an accountant comes on wanting free advice. it's meant to be for accountants to discuss matters with other accountants.
However, the question you asked is pretty straightforward. As paulwakefield1 has said - you charge your client £208.40 plus VAT for the skip and £200 plus VAT for the labour. That all assumes you're simply passing on the cost to the client.
For those of us who know;
VAT is a simple tax.
We know the difference between a biscuit and cake. Not because of the look and the taste... but for VAT purposes
We know that workers steel toed safety boots are zero rated safety equipment, so long as you buy from the correct vendor!
Otherwise vat is charged.
The OP may want to avail himself of some professional VAT advice and guidance.
We do not know if the OP is on the Flat Rate VAT scheme, if not the Input VAT on the advice should be recoverable. Win win.
The rewards may well be significant.
That's the risk the general public take in getting advice on AWeb. They have no idea whether someone giving an answer knows what they're talking about and have no one to sue if the "advice" is wrong.

Corrected for you. No need to thank me. ;-)
