Price Base Rate!

[mattle40]

That's just how Iv always seen it, if u drop ur price by £50 you effectively paid £50 to get the work. I don't think I'm greedy, maybe I am to a certain extent but I only charge what I see as fair for the job. I understand people always want to pay less and get a bargain, people work hard for their money, but so do I and I think some customers forget that.

Its the best reason not to drop your original quote when a customer tries to bargain you down to a lower price. And it cant be argued with!

i won't budge on my rates as I know what my time and experience is worth.

Too many people jumping into the game wanting top dollar and wanting same rates as men who've been tiling 20+ years.

Knowing how to price a job is a skill that can't be taught at college, it's honed over years.
