I price porc the same as ceramic .........unless its large format or polished..

cant see much difference between most 330x330 tiles porc or ceramic..

 

[widler]

Whats the difference between porca and ceramics so you have to price more ?
Am i missing something which makes on harder (as in workwise 😉 ) than the other

 

[Gazzer]

Adhesive,grouts, Sealer and generally more harder on hole drilling and cutting tools but I guess if you price it all on Porcelain then when its a ceramic job then you are on the winning side

very good point as long as it can be competitive

I always price porcs dearer than ceramics.
As Neale states above they are harder to drill & cut so the price reflects this.

Nah, i have all the gear to cut em, its a tradesmans job to have the right tools after all, my cutters/tools have been paid for tenfold, hole cutters are next to nowt nowadays, couple of quid will do a few bathrooms.
Ive had the same hole cutting kit for , 6 months, used most weeks and stil got life in them.
You can't really go to a job and say " bugger, i need a new cutter for that, i will put £500 ont job "
Ive been out and bought a SIGMA 3e something or other today , i have a few large format jobs coming up (few hundred m2) i will get my money back (£300 quid,nice chap from the south drove up north to meet me 🙂 ) i was gonna buy charlies but not up glasgow for a month or so

I've got all the gear to cut them also but if porcs are going to wear out your tools quicker then you should charge extra for it.
