But at my prices I can make £400+ a day. Totally unrealistic to think I could get £1250 a day at the sort of prices you are quoting. I wasn't making that sort of money in the good days when I would quote £25 PSM and get every job I went for.

im not quoting those prices..its what Im seeing being quoted...

Addy and grout cant be more than £3 PSM can it?

 

[ian158]

no idea...I dont quote sq mt..when doing bathroom refits I charge day rate..work out how many days...work out materials..add another £150 for luck...

Been a bit since I read this thread and it's starting to sound a bit unprofessional ! Tiling onto bouncy floors (just covered with Ditra) and adding £150 for luck!

 

[Andy Allen]

I thought that too..

Unless you have been to the job and seen it best not to start spouting about being unprofessional to someone who has been in the trade for the best part of 40 years.

and as for the £150 for luck..what I quote is none of anyone's business except me and the customer..I add on for any eventualities that might occur during strip out to that they don't get any surprises at the end..it's a fixed price..if the customer dont like the price they don't pay the money...what I don't get is someone following me around re-doing my work! ..I'm not the one charging a fortune or costing customers extra money through outrageous shoddy work ..so when you want to talk about being unprofessional you need to direct your comments at the cowboys ...not us
