Is he taking the **** or is it ok?

Wasn't it around £340 dirrty got?

A normal splashbacks goes for about that over here.

£150 gets you, err... Can't think of anything tiling related that cheap over here actually... Perhaps scraping away some Silicon or something... Taxes are higher though.

cheers for all the replys lads

I know i will get £150 for a splashback because i did one last week and it only took me 4 hours and then a hour the next day grouting...

I got him a kitchen job a few months back and left him to price it up and do it hiself and didnt put anything on for me.....next time i will be ringing him up saying do you want a kitchen job its worth £170 labour!!! :hurray:

Hello peeps...

My mates a kitchen fitter and as a contract with magnets fitting their kitchens...He rang me today and asked me to do a splashback so i said yes...

Anyways he rang me a few hours ago saying "mark the job is worth £170" So i replied "whats the substrate like, tiles, adhesive etc.... oh and size of job and how many windows sockets?" He replied "7 1/2 sqm, 8 sockets and 2 windows" The tiles are 100 x 100 so thats 750 tiles to stick up!!:mad2:

So i said personally i think 170 is a bit low, as if i was pricing it i would allow 2 days at day rate £150 so £300..

Hes a good friend and grew up with him, i know if i do this job he will give me lots of work but is £170 worth it or is he taking the pi**

Any replies appreciated guys

Monty

Hi Monty,

Friend or no friend...don't let him dictate how much to charge, he may have put in a price of £300...get you to do the job and voila...he's made £130 for giving you the job..

Also would he fit a kitchen if you said you were dictating a low price....i think not..

Mark.

Ah yeh, now I remember. Who was it that got 340 for a splashback then? I do remember "£340" and "splashback" in connection to each other.

It would take me the best part of a day to lay that size splash, but for 150 he's having a TOSS!!!!
