With my pricing, i get nearly every job, got three bathrooms today, 2 kitchens, if people think I'm expensive the wouldn't use me. I'm not tiling all day to buy a round of drinks in the pub at the end of the day, I'm here to make a living for me and my family, tiling is a skilled job and the sooner customers realise that the better, they pay loads for there tiles and expect us tilers fix them for nothing.

Forum,
With reference to a job price request i placed a bit further up this post.
Im getting a horrible feeling that im getting this pricing side of things very wrong.
I have put in a quote of £584 to do

18m2 ceramics for the walls and
3.5m2 for the floor.

Now having priced up all the gear needed - Using ardex coming to £155 inc vat and inc a £20 charge for the nearest company to me getting the stuff in.

Am i taking the p**s by charging £20m2, considering i can make the same doing overtime at security where i work full time.
Working it out on the price list from Ceramic solutions the other day, the tight git is still getting a lot cheaper.

The guy has said that he'll wait a while so he can go and price up the adhesives himself in case he can get it cheaper.
He will have to sign a disclaimer, saying i wont be responsible if/when it all falls of the wall.

I have also offered Tanking (about £70), but they think it is cheaper to use "backer boards", I havent had any dealings with this stuff yet, but does it need priming before tiling and am i right in thinking that the corner joints will require to be sealed before hand anyway and are there any other things i need to consider when fixing on to it????
I await patiently your replies.
