Hi All

[nsko]

set up my own tiling business, things just starting to pick up biggest problem at the moment is pricing as my speed is not quick but my quality is good.

:welcome:And good luck!

The speed will come with experience but keep the pricing to the job and not how long it takes!

John.

a bulider has asked me to quote for 25m2 walls and 9.5m2 floor am struggling with a quote

I would suggest that you quote a price that you are happy to do the job for. If you think it will take you 3 days, then quote a price that you will be happy to do 3 days work for. Always focus on quality first and foremost, though!

My attitude was always to work for a wage that I was happy with, and if someone faster wants to undercut your price then let them. Nobody wants to be a busy fool. As your speed improves (and it will) you will find that your pricing will become more and more competitive.

Don't price yourself cheap as you may become despondent and start to sacrifice your quality, conversely, don't over estimate your own worth. It is difficult to earn as much as you think you should when you first start out but you should still be able to earn a fair wage.

Official hello nsko, the advice the other lads have given you is sound, I know your first few jobs will be 'gut churning' but it does get better, honest, good luck mate.
