My First job Kitchen splashback

[SteveP]

just wanting some feedback this isn't for a customer this is my own kitchen 7 square metres. Considering this is my first attempt at tiling apart from the tiling course i attended i think i done well what do you think? also

how much would you have charged for this type of job?

how long would it have taken you?
took me about 2 1/2 days in total

thanks

Looks great m8, i would have quoted about £200 + materials for that job and would probably have took me about a day and a half - 2 days. Great work though, keep it going!

Bonny cha,I agree 200/250 slight criticism,sorry ,cuts either side of window vary in size ,always lose in corners under units,marked 90/100 very very well done,you will make it! regards GAZZA,better by miles than my first job aged 16

thanx for that m8 i relized about window cuts once i started, marked stick up wrong but any1 who knows nothing about tiling i hope would not notice that lol

Very nice work mate. I'm the same as the others, about 200 + yer bits, and i'd be looking at about day and a half two days. Gaz is right about the window cuts, its a shame, but if the customers happy there's no problem. Did you do two sets of setting out i.e find the centre of the window and the centre above the hob?

nice clean job would take 2 days daily rate for this

Well done mate, really nice work and if you tile like that in someones home i'm sure they would love it. Only things i noticed were the cuts around the window mate.

This job would take me 1 1/2 - 2 days but i would allow 3 days in my diary (just incase something goes wrong) don't know about the rest of em on here but personally i allways allow a 2 -3 day gap between jobs as a safety net. It is far easier to bring a job forward if you are ahead of schedule than it is to put jobs back because you have fallen behind (i was badly burned by this in my early days)

If the job was local to where i live i would have charged £200 - £250 all in and if i had to travel i would have charged £300 all in.

What wivers means by 'plus your bits' is not what your thinking. He really does mean 'plus your bits' lol

thanx for feedback every1

Did you do two sets of setting out i.e find the centre of the window and the centre above the hob?

set out centre of hob then used gauging stick to make sure cuts were nice round sockets ect..

for window just used gauging stick i thought i had even cuts round windows aswell as good cuts on either end of wall wasn't until i got most tiles done across 1 side i realised the stick was out had to remark stick again but hey you learn from mistakes so i'll never do that again

cheers once again every1
