tile Rates Per Square Meter / Per Day - How much do tilers charge?


Just wanted to get the facts straight for those searching, as £150 per day or £20 per meter isn't what I'd expect to pay anymore. It's not the 90's lol

To be honest £150 a day rate is fairly normal here for me as there are about a zillion folk undercutting everyone. £20 a meter plus materials is the lowest i do for regular work but there is no chance of achieving some of the rates mentioned in here unless i want to sit at home most of the day and not even have Jeremy Kyle to keep me entertained while i wait for someone to say yes to it. I quoted £200 with all materials for 3m a herringbone splashback and they couldn't get me out the door quick enough and that was me going cheap as a space filler

I know this is a hard one to answer. But just as an approximate guide for those searching for how much a tiler costs, and landing on websites such as my builder who seem to be selling tilers for pennies, how much you been charging either day rate or per meter generally?

Perhaps if you could split your work between your fancy stuff, and your bread-winning stuff over the past year or so, then do that so we can see the difference.

And then perhaps price per floors and per walls? If different at all.

Personally I work my prices out at a minimum of £200 per day. I then work out square meterage to see what works best. I find pricing jobs where there is a lot of scribing and cuts impossible to work out on a m2 , so revert back to day rate. Obviously large floors work out better on m2 than a day rate so change accordingly.

Any Prep, daywork or bathroom tiling we charge £200/£220 per day. Floors minimum £30 /£50. As for large format its a joke. Customers don't want to pay what our work is worth. I would like £250/300 a day which is not excessive.

Depends what you think your times worth.

As said depends on the prep required, i usually go with 30m2 standard if there is any special requirement ie small job charge a day rate of 250.

These day rate figures are in no way relation to the metre rates getting batted about..
I know £50/60 m2 or £180 day rate? so 3/4m2 a day , that tiler would be gone, the tortoise :)
Its all postcode is pricing imo, you will get the ofd person around lancashire charging £40/50m2 , but not many , id say the national average is around £35/45 inc materials , around burnley is probably around £25/35 inc and around £180 day rate , lads in some parts of Ireland are getting around €15/20 m2
