£ per mtr or day rate?

[2020Tiling]

Hi, just tiled a 12mtr shower room with ceramics and a mosaic strip in the middle,. It's taken me a full day and just have to grout up tomorrow, My question is what should I charge for it? should I do it on a mtr rate or a day rate? a day rate is a lot less than a mtr rate :detective: How much would you lot charge the customer? Thanks.

If you quoted on meterage then charge that. You had a good day, would you get more if the job went slower?
If you quoted day rate then you would have to charge for the days worked.

Surely a price was discussed at quote stage??

 

[Ian]

Labour only or materials as well?

 

[Saltire69]

So you've tiled shower area without giving a price?

 

[tommyzooom]

I'd have finalised price, BEFORE tiling the job, but that's just me....

Apart from the good points above ! ,charge M2 if it make's you more money ( obvious ) LOL.........

 

[steve187]

M2 rate always, unless the customer makes things complicated

It's for a fitter I have done a few jobs for, so get regular work from him hence not sure what to charge. He always just pays what I ask for but would hate to go too expensive for the time it took, but on the other side he will be getting a chunk off B&Q as it's one of there jobs and tiling was quoted in with him fitting the bathroom!
My price always includes adhesive ,grout & trims and on this job I had to get 2 chrome square edge trims . I'm thinking a figure of £250 ? What do you guys recon?

 

[Ian]

I'd do £250 + materials for a day and a half.

 

[kilty55]

250 sounds fair to me

 

[cam_low]

Same as bri for me. With a three on the end. Always a 3 on the end.

£250 way too low.
Labour 1.5 days x £150 = £225
Addy x 2 spf @ £20 a bag = £40
Chrome trim @ £10 each = £20
Grout £10


That's £295

Was your full day 08:00 - 16:00? or maybe a bit longer??? - if so, then add on a few extra for the extra hours worked.

In my view 12mtrs in a day is pretty fast (you should be charging extra for that skill).

Cheers
Sean

I would be charging £150.00 per day or part there of, plus materials.

So I'd be at £360 all in. Which works out at £30.00 inclusive of materials. Fair price I'd say. I don't do half days. You still have fuel costs and the same expenses wether you do 4 hours or 8.If I had ro charge a half day rate it would be £100+ materials to reflect this.

But your cost/day rate/terms should of already been thrashed out if you're doing regular work for the fitter.

 

[Tony73]

It took some time to go and get materials!? Not less then £250. I allways charge more if it is small job. I also do tiling with no price estimate, as some of my contractors trust me ( just send invoice , after job is done)

 

[andyb1]

I always agree a price before to be honest, no hassle then.
