Looks good Dave, good rate IMO as i can't get near that over here.
Well done and don't worry about your speed, it'll come.
 
What happened to cut out round basin no spacer behind wc rad pipes not out of wall but the tiling is good i would want £700 inc addy plus vat and would take 3 days if that is any help to you i also would have wanted to tank shower at extra £100
I know you only did tiling its just me i get fussy with bathrooms

if you have not been tiling long I think that's not bad. one question what is going on with the sink ?
 
thanks everybody.b and q fitted the bathroom,and messed up the cut to the sink.they are coming back to fix all the snags next week
 
Does the worktop needs to be cut back further to sit the basin in? The panel under it looks pre-cut. Tiling and finishing looks decent enough.

Pricing, about £700 inc materials, 3ish days. Speed is nothing without quality, don't worry about it too much yet I've seen work nowhere near as good done by allegedly experienced people in half the time. However, if you're still taking 6 days in a few months time you need to look at what you're doing as thats not a fantastic wage for 6 days. Have you done a tiling course?
 
A kitchen i tiled a few months ago had a b&q kitchen, i had to remove the island from the room.
The whole lot was a mess from badly hung doors to bad edging,worktops etc.
Anyway i left the island in sunroom slightly disassembled.
I got a call a few days after i finished from b&q saying i had damaged the island removing it and they wanted £450 off me,lol.
I said not a hope and i have pics of the already shoddy workmanship in the kitchen so i'll fight you for the £450,lol.
I had and it was crap work, even the customer had them back 12 times !!!!!
As you can guess i had no money to pay.
