is the Price right?

[Drastik Lee]

Hi,

I had a quote to do today for 4 en-suites in a big country house B&B (2x bathrooms with showers over the baths & 2x shower rooms) i quoted a price of £1740 all in including materials, tiles (fairly cheap ones to be fair but its what the customer wanted) and installation including waterproofing and bonding in shower areas.

But the customer seem to think this is to high .... i thought its sounded pretty reasonable :mad2:

Thoughts please

Sounds very fair, what is the square meterage?

 

[Drastik Lee]

yeah it is bri went in at £25 m2 (Cheap i know but needs must) ..... i thought so too

 

[DHTiling]

£25 a mtr inc of supplying every thing...?..

NO way!!..

 

[Ian]

I meant how many m2 of tiling is there to be done? Anyhow, less than £450 per room all in is more than fair.

 

[Drastik Lee]

no £25 m2 is the labour price only materials are seperate lol (its cheap not stooopid lol) its around a total of 45m2

seems it depend on what area you work from. i would charge anywhere between 20 to 30 per m2 not including materials.
for basic ceramic and the size of the job i would have to be about 20 a m2 labour to get job...
went to look at job recently, was 4 houses to tile, guy told me if i could beat 7 pound a m2 i had it,spoke to the two guys doing job and right enough they were charging 7 per m2 and were happy with that ..there is no hope

its hard to get £20 m2 here i'm going in at £18 at the mo but know a few round here doing it for 15m2 if i was just tiling and not doing full bathrooms and kitchens i'd be struggling to make ends meet.

REALLYYY!!! 7 per m2 how do they do that ??? they where obviously either not doing a great job or just abit backwards

average around this way is about 25 soooo ......
