much

Never had an actual apprentice, was wondering what sort of money is right for a college student to learn how to be a high level bath room specialist whilst being used as extra labour at the same time...Yorkshire wage?

Hi, Just wondering roughly what proportion of a pro tillers work is taking out old tiles and making good before refitting.....I'd envisage a high proportion of your job is on new installations done by kitchen fitters and plasters unless its a wet room.....im looking at doing the run of the mill...

Started a wet room conversion today. Nice couple, retired and fairly well off. Arrived at 0830. Suite ripped out by 0930. Floor up by 11. Not a cuppa to be seen! Never mind I thought, I am sure I will get one when I get back from the builders merchant with the new floor.....nope! Unloaded 4 full...

Okay so I'm going to start the ball rolling. I'd like the forum to be handy for all, including those looking for tilers, or even DIY, to see what they're up against compared to a professionally carried-out job. So let's get this ball rolling. Let's try and come up with a base rate for tiling...

Okay, so I don't want you to reply to this if you don't want to. The stats will be private, staff or myself can't get at them. They'll be public results, but nobody will tell who's voted what. You can ignore the thread fully if you wish. But I'd like to get a gauge on how much business the...

Hello! As ever, I am on the look out for good reliable fixers to come and join us at JP! We have got a massive range of main contractor clients who are throwing work at us like it's going out of fashion. We have handled the growth well, we've got a new purpose built office, new contracts...

Abit about myself to start off with. Been in the building game for 30 years and can turn my hands at tiling but by know means a pro like others on here. Im a plasterer by trade but have had my fair share of tiling work throughout the years to know what im doing. Have worked for tiling...

Just a small area of a small bathroom but it sums up the rest of the room and it's all pooh! How do people accept such poor workmanship and the 'tiler' got paid. Broken bond with lips all over, chipped tiles, half inch of grout in corners, he's tiled the tank cupboard without any access to the...

I've just stripped out this pool pump room and refitted it. Took 4 x 25ltr buckets of calc off the floor where there had been leaks for years..

I have just done a compare the meerkat and am looking at somewhere in the region of £150 to cover me for 60% tiling, 20% kitchen fitting & 20% bathroom fitting. What is yours costing you for your relevant trades. Are there any better deals to be had elsewhere ? Who has been your best insurer...

Hi :waving:, name is Laney and I'm new to the forum, which looks like a wealth of useful info. I'm looking to finally up grade my budget flat bed wet cutter (sick of getting a wet crotch) and want something with the plunge facility. Looking at a few diferent reviews it seems that the Dewalt is...

Priced up a bathroom last week & she's not happy with the price. 29m2 of porcelain tiles, same on floor & walls, not sure of exact size but probably 600x300. Walls getting re-sheeted with pb, so "should" be flat. Floor is old screed in good condition but needs 4 bags of slc to get it level. One...

Hi there, I am new to this site so - apols if I have posted this in the wrong place. I had some tiling done in a kitchen of a rented flat, the walls are straight but the property is old. I have tried up loading a photo of the job, but so far have failed miserably. Please advise how much is...

Just doing a wet/bathroom for a very good customer and he's presented me with these trims. They are 2.5m long, polished chrome with Swarovski crystals embedded into them. How much do you think they are per length?

Hello, I have started to tile my floor, cross bonded with 50cm x 15cm tiles. The floor was leveled and screeded before hand so I am working from a relatively flat surface. I would say 90% of the tiles are level, I run my finger over them and they feel about right. But on some, there is a...

What is the maximum ufh wires that can be left over and hidden under a bath? Just on a job where there's around 2.5 mtrs left over and have been advised that I can just hide them under the bath? I know you can leave some under the bath but I would of thought 2 mtrs of rolled up ufh cables would...

The erbauer 750 is only £80 and the Vitrex PRO 750 £100 so why is the Norton TT200 £150? What are you paying for? Also, silly question but when cutting mitres on the norton with the table tilted how do you do wide cuts? the YouTube video shows someone cutting a thin strip but it appears if you...

I'm retiling a bathroom floor as a result of a small extension that has enlarged the room from 2m x 2m to 4m x 2m. The previous floor was chipboard and tiled using Unibond flex. adhesive by my good self. It was down for 7 years with no cracks. In fact it was bonded so well and was such a pain to...
