Hi Everyone,

[Donnie]

Here I am changing my career. Midlife crisis maybe who knows are just complete madness. :lol: Anyway I guess before starting out I must get the most important thing right from the start. What is the going rate for wall and floor tiling? Anybody care to share? Having tiled for mostly family free of charge I dont know what to charge. Cheers Guys

Welcome along. We don't discuss prices in the open forum, but prices will vary across the country and depending on the type of tile that is being fitted.

Money - its obviously an important part of any job - but IMHO this is not a job its a trade.
So in that respect you have to learn your trade before you can earn a professional level of renumeration for your efforts.

Everyone can tile and everyone thinks they can do a few jobs and that makes them a tiler.
However the sooner customers realise that there is a BS standard to our trade then tiling will become the professional finishing trade that I entered 38 years ago.

Modern equipment, manuals and courses, give you the basics to 'wet' the appetite for a DIY market, but to undertake this trade for a career takes more time than people realise.

On the positive side - it is the best trade around - so if you can support yourself for the first 2/3 years - you could become another member of the Tilers Forum happy tiling community.
