Is this price too cheap ?

Splashbacks, mosaics all that kinda fiddly stuff charge at day rate in my opinion.
I don't really charge for awkward cuts, and some charge for drilling holes in porcelain, i might be missing out on a few quid here!
If you want to speed up your socket cuts go to tradetiler and buy a Montolit Squadro wheel and a small angle grinder for it to work on. Absolutely brilliant little blade, cuts through porcelain like butter!
Decent tools are a really good way of speeding your work up as they do all the work for you.

don't you just hate it when they say its cheap,the amount of times i kick myself after.

gotta remember though,some people are just really expensive,just did a job and the other tiler said he charges £260 a day,it will take about 7 days + a £10 per hole cut.
it took me 8 days and i re boarded it in hardibacker which he was just going to tile over painted skim

£260 per day :yikes: never thought of charging for drilling holes had a job with 8 took ages

£25.00 per m2 is a good price just do it plus mats.

My mate charges even more than that for drilling holes, personally i think that comes under day work, and hopefully the pipe work should be spotted on the measure up.
I have a ticklist for new jobs i go to see so i don't miss things out that will upset the price. ie Kickboards, cutting doors, doorbars and hole cutting.

explain that your not vat registered thats why its cheaper. you could always say you forgot the materials, but you will stick to the original price, as its your mistake.

That's not a bad idea that. You then don't look cheap and you get to throw in a spot of customer service

That way if you up your price for future jobs and they recommend you to someone they won't specify your too cheap
