not everyone would keep to price fixing anyway,so imo its a waste of time.sorry to be so negative as im not normally like that but its how i feel about this suggestion.

Price fixing would never work as there is always somebody who would undercut you. I look at each job separately and then price accordingly. I never give prices over the phone but offer a free estimate so that I can see exactly what needs to be done. Customers can sometimes forget important pieces of information in a phone call.

price fixing not for me! there are god and bad, fast and slow tiler, you set your own price depending on what category you fall into. If I was a customer I'd willingly pay more for a slow, good tiler than a bad, fast one! Obviously we all aspire to be good fast tilers!Most of my work is site based so I tend to give an "all in" price,that way I and site agent know what the cost will be.

If I have to charge £5 pm/2 to put food in my daughters mouth I will...And i would NEVER attempt to tell a fellow tiler what he or she should charge. That is up to them.

We cannot control this kind of thing its impossabile.

there's a base limit tho' charlie where it will cost you more to go to work, and it'd be better to do something else, on a personal note I'd do any job to provide for my two little lads

a second hand car that has done 10 miles in good condition would sell for more than one in bad condition that had done 100000 miles but you could always have a price guide but you can never tell anyone what they can charge ete

:beatdeadhorse5:this would never work! usually i would charge say £20-£25 m2 depending on size,akwardness etc... yet lately i have priced several larger jobs at say £18m2 because i know i would still make a decent wage from it only to be phoned by the client and told they have received a quote of almost near have of mine,either people are working for next to nothing or customers are totally brass necking it!! (1/2 of £18m2) you dont need to be einstien to work out there aint much to be made after material costs
