Estimate for tiling 90m2 with travertine

[DHTiling]

At the end of the day if you are happy at what you are charging and its earning you a living then thats the way to go..prices vary up and down the country so no two tilers work the same.....happy tiling lads and lasses..........dave..

I have listened to all your comments and opinions. Everyone has a different idea. The job entails 35m2 for an en-suite, mainly walls, 45m2 for a bathroom, again mainly walls and a 10m2 entrance hall, obviously floors. The walls are 3metres high, the trav is 600 x 400. A lot of work for any tiler, experienced or not. As i'm not 3metres high i would need help to do the 2 rooms, for which i would have to pay. I have worked with trav before, not very often, but i do know what is involved. I do want want to remain competetive, but i feel that putting in low prices will compromise my work.

All i have been asking for are honest estimates for what you would charge, not for what you think i should charge, experienced or not.

Any way Ed, i have taken into account what everyone has said and have lowered my estimate to be more competetive, but as i said before i won't compromise my quality. Maybe i should this one on day rate ?Quality for me takes longer than some others, so i charge accordingly. PS I might take you up on that offer, early next year when my work slows down. Probably won't do me no harm.

Can all of you give me some ideas on how long you think it would take you to do the job. From my point of view it assume 15 days to do everything from start to finish. Too long maybe for some, but you all know the job now.

Good to see lots of response, and my apologies to anyone who may have been offended by my wording. Look forward to more replies.

make sure the tiles are solidly fixed if they are that size and 3 metres high. if walls are flat job should take roughly 10 days. 9 sqm a day is easily acheivable with tiles that size. probably be able to do more but work off that rate. use an angle grinder to cut with a cecent diamond blade. its quicker than a wet cutter. pricewise i would be looking at £2500-£2700 roughly £25-£27 pound sqm thats in leeds area

for something that size there is a fair amount of work involved I would tend to be between £2500- £2800 but again its a personnal thing

After reading this thread - I'd hate to meet Tiler Burden at "fight club"

I take his point though that Elite tilers can work that fast. Something to aspire to for sure, but when people like that learnt their trade maybe 20-30 years ago life was a lot cheaper. Sure we've got £20 dvd players and crap like that, but the stuff we need to feed, house and clothe our families has gone sky high! That's why "newbies" like me need to charge as much as we can - whenever we can.

(I'd price it on the cheap side personally, for the experience and the kudos of such a nice job)
