How much?

[Stef]

Priced up a bathroom last week & she's not happy with the price.
29m2 of porcelain tiles, same on floor & walls, not sure of exact size but probably 600x300.
Walls getting re-sheeted with pb, so "should" be flat.
Floor is old screed in good condition but needs 4 bags of slc to get it level.
One door, one big window, have to form upstand & tile it as sink is centred on this window wall.
Tanked shower, 1200x900.
I was all in £945.00
Oh & this job is a 60 mile round trip for me.

A quick workout I made it about £1'180 and thats with no traveling....but including all materials.

Good price that Stef, I'd be similar to Mark at around £1200 all in.

Sorry Mark, I forgot to say I supply the adhesive grout & trims.

Yeah Bri, I know it's a good price but she's going for another quote as she thinks it's really expensive even though she has seen my work & knows that I will leave the best job she will get round my area.

For me
labour£900
materials £230

Did'nt even take the grout and any trims into consideration as it was a quick workout, did update my post so may have crossed over a bit there.

 

[Qwerty]

I made it £1350

 

[cam_low]

as above. In my area and my portfolio I recon I can get £1500 for it.

Cheers folks, we can't command as high a price up here but this customer has really done my nut in as she wants the job done for next to nothing.
She will get the job done cheaper but there's a good chance the tiles will be dabbed on & floor will still have a 25mm run in it.
I'm flat out with work but this one has been bugging me all weekend.. [emoji35][emoji35]

 

[cam_low]

Don't stress yourself out fella ! The only thing that bugs me is that you think they will get a shoddy job done and you really want to see it to pull it apart, however if it goes wrong...they wont ring you back out of humility ! grrrr

 

[prceramics]

let her get on with it buddy

Don't go cheap Rob just to appease her, recently had one where she said I was dearer but for some reason the guy who had priced got a bad back.
I got the job and was speaking to the kitchen fitter and it's a tiler he recommends to customers, he said on one job where there was a cooker hood he started tiling from the corner with a full tile...no setting out for the cooker hood, no need to say how that turned out but he also stated the guy claimed he had been tiling for 20 years.....I somehow don't believe that.

Wouldn't lose to much sleep over it , win some lose some, the good thing is your busy and don't have to do things at a knocked Down rate !

I can't command top prices round our way but I still would of been over a bag of sand..
Seems like another time waster to me. Thankfully you have plenty of work on......forget about it snd move on

Stef, I got the price £1198 inc. addy,grout,slc,chrome trim etc. Having a 60 mile round trip I would add something on for the inconvenience and time.

Some people are only interested in price. They will check the highest quote and check the lowest. Then they will think about all the money they would save if they just went with the lowest price.

At least she got back to you. What gets my back up is when the customer does not get back........I like feedback. Last time this happened I texted the customer after he did not get back to me. He then replied that I was too expensive. He really wanted a job done on a 'cash only' basis (i.e. no VAT). I don't charge VAT so how can I knock it off!!

Your quoted price is very competitive. It would be good to hear what price she is paying.
