Unless the tiles are going portrait random broken bond isn't going to remedy the situation lol

You can't tile an 18mt bathroom because the tiles are 6x3! So would that be the same for mosaics?
Is it that you didn't want the job or 'am I missing something.

 

[hmtiling]

I'll only do mosaics if there's no windows or doors to complicate things

I have done loads of bathrooms in 6x3 ..........the current crop of Pizza hut is in 6x3 ....done a couple of those too.....jeesh it is only a tile you are cutting, not the wrist off your arm.

I did a 20m bathroom once with 100x100mm tiles 2 windows as well, took ages to do and looked awful imo....anything is doable....just make sure you put in a very good price......good luck.

Now this is definitely a dayrate job..

Now this is definitely a dayrate job..

no, still a m2 rate, why can't you have a different Mt rate for different tile type? Like most of us do

Sorry missed the IMHO off the end of my post.
But in answer to your question, IMO I'd think it would be very easy to slip up and under price a job like this... I'm sure 'MOST' of us have been there too, if we're honest?

£200 a day at day rate, on @Andy Allen days

wasn't a imho post, it was fact
work out a Mt price which is equal to the day rate you would charge and add a % to this to allow for run over, say 30% then if you run over your covered and if you don't you have do well.....
do most of your customer let you do jobs on an open end day rate?
