Well I think I funked that one up good and proper!
Simple job consisting of tiling 4.2m2 in a self built shower enclosure currently having backerboard applied. I reckon he's a skilled DIYer or ex trade. Should this not be waterproofed if he is going to all this trouble?
Tiling a queer sized tile, 19cmx31cm, insistent on it being perfect which I think should be an easy job.
Any who, I mentioned, oops, the drunken arse bandit I was working with last, I had only done a handful of jobs and I basically couldn't get out there quick enough, oh yes, only after telling him that he had to prime the backerboard, as a certain tile shop told me that with BAL single part flexible I have to! He disagreed and I felt so stupid so I said I'd drop a quote off over the next few days and told him I couldn't do it til the start of the month anyway!
He also got me with the how long have you been tiling for!!! I stuttered into a couple of year and 7 jobs on me own since leaving drunken arse bandit! Now I feel like the bandit. Never mind, onwards and upwards. Best of it is, I know I can do a perfect job on it ! ha.
So its around 4.2 m2 and has 3 holes to cut (porcelanso tiles, hybrids are they ?)
and cut around this
What should I ask for labour ? I reckoned around £250 but not too sure !
thanks
