are prices allowed here...?

[ian158]

..is £50 a sq mt to tile a bath with 8x6" white tiles expensive ?...

 

[DHTiling]

nah, that is a cracking price 🙂


yes there is also a dedicated pricing section ... look for the sub-forum to this one.

I've moved it to the job pricing forum Ian, just incase you couldn't find it.

 

[ian158]

[AliGage]

Id be lucky to get 15 where I live. Are yoy supplying tile adhesive grout?

 

[ian158]

I don't charge per mt and yes supply addy and grout but any colours is down to them at cost

So why ask if £50m2 is expensive ? and yes it is very expensive unless your supplying the tiles

 

[ian158]

Because I'm considering passing on the tiling work and was scared away with these sorts of prices...i only take on jobs I'm comfortable with but if there is bathroom refits where tiling is outside my comfort zone then ill pass it in to a pro...now that I know what the ball park figure should realistically be

 

[ian158]

So my next question would be if anyone is interested in giving me a sq mt price including addy and grout ..various prices given type of tiles then in box me for the Cambridge Peterborough and beds area

So your not a tiler then, comfort zone or not you should be able to price a bog standard bathroom,8x6 is basically what I would leave my apprentice on ,no offence meant.

So as not to confuse matters here..I know exactly how to price my work....it so happens I priced a job fitting a bathroom suite and tiling around bath...but when i was finished the women hit me with what others had quoted her..and the tiler had quoted £50 a sq mt the plumber £250 a day for 3 days..the whole job took me 3 days including tiling..as im not a "professional tiler" I have a comfort zone...so been pondering other work I would normally turn away for fear of cocking it up..if I know what sort of pricing I can expect from a pro tiler then I can quote based on the prices per sq mt with a little addition rather than I turn up and a tiler which is not always convenient ..so just getting an idea for the future...

 

[ian158]

and to prove I can tile here are just a few jobs ive done...

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Some nice work there ian :thumbup:

 

[AliGage]

How much work do you get in the Peterborough area Ian?

 

[ian158]

Peterborough is a funny one at the moment...mostly Cambridge and Huntington and surrounding villages..been quoting against a "eastern European" man in Peterborough and seem to lose out to him..his work looks good to be fair..but won 2 in same house in Oundle which i start in 2 weeks...want to give me a quote for tiling ?

I think I know who you are refering to. Seen his work, and although on the surface it looks ok, what lies beneath is shocking.
You're in the arms now? Look for my post from a few weeks ago "I just couldn't fit it in"
I'll quote for you, will do all the areas you've mentioned too. Drop me a bell or a text 07707069947

 

[ian158]

ok will do...to be honest i steer clear from travertine linestone, natural stone..if your happy doing that we can talk..

 

[AliGage]

Of coursee mate I do all materials and all formets, ceramic, porcelain and stone.
