Default Wet room
Hi guys went to take a look at a wet room today it's 20m2 in porc tiles 300x600 for walls and 5m2 in same tiles for floor ive worked out a price but don't no if it's too steep inc grout and adhesive £1290 also looking to use bal rapid set flex bagged addy will this be decent enough to do the job!??

 

[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...

 

[Qwerty]

Sorry mark, tapatalk playing up again and didn't show it was in there!!! [emoji35][emoji30]

 

[White Room]

No probs, forget you guys are on other devices other than a laptop:smiley2:

 

[terrycoe1]

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!??

 

[judge]

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 ?

 

[Qwerty]

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,

 

[J Sid]

It all depends on what part if the country you are working, how much you value your time, what reputation you have and what quality of finish you produce.

I thought £48m2 was cheap! Hahaha

Yeah but I bet u don't have £30-£45 a day parking and connection do u?

If more tilers charged a decent rate, we'd all benefit. Think about it...! But thanks to the bottom feeders out there charging peanuts for cash, as well as decorators, handymen and plumbers 'tiling', our once proud and noble trade has been devalued. something is seriously wrong with the world when people who actually create and build are valued far less than people who trade commodities and contribute absolutely nothing to society except misery...

 

[Flintstone]

I hope that's not aimed at me.
I live in Yorkshire so there is no parking to pay or congestion or anything like that. I've been tiling to a high standard for over 10 years. ehen doing a measure up, I tend to work it out on time + materials, and I tend to charge 150 per day. Perhaps I should charge more to private Customers.
