[lizzardtong]

is it just for tiling and grouting? or is it including some prep work?

 

[Qwerty]

Moved it to the pricing area within the arms [emoji106]
As for your price, I would be around £1200 for tiling, grouting & siliconing. Any prep work (tanking etc is extra!)

 

[White Room]

I'd already moved to the pricing forum...

Haha I hate using the net on my Phone! as for the job just tiling grouting sealing no prep work he has layed the underfloor heating but not coverd so I recommended a small layer of screed over top!??

Being a wetroom,are you tanking first ?

 

[terrycoe1]

He's tanking so basically it's all prepped what was worring tho is they used ply along back shower wall I told them to replace with a hardi board then tank and screed over the floor

 

[AliGage]

Ply on walls? If it's being tanked (properly) whats the problem?

If water gets in, and only a ducks *** can keep water out sometimes, the ply will swell,surely it's better using backer board than ply in ANY situation Ali?

And even tanked ply will move with climate but not backer boards [emoji15]

 

[AliGage]

Absolutely. Wouldn't be my "choice" of subatrates to use. But if it meets the standards, is installed correctly, and is also tanked then it can be tiled on.

Just getting that bit in before this thread explodes with "walk away" posts.

In this day and age it wouldn't be the top choice of prep no. But we can't always have an ideal world.

how are you getting to £1200 for 25 meters of tiling and materials ?

Because that's what I charge and people pay it. I charge what I WANT to earn out of a job, not what I NEED to earn out of it. My finish and quality reflects my price.

How much would you charge?

 

[Flintstone]

Just interested to know how you worked out that price? Obviously I haven't seen the job but, I would estimate about £850. 4 days work and materials,
