31 m2 en suite. 60 x 60 polished porcelain. Cement board floor. Collection and delivery of tiles too. Labour only price please, the walls are good so no prep apart from floor required.

My price was 750

to cheap imo

 

[Ian]

Yeah closer to £850-£900 I reckon, maybe a bit more if you need to seal them.

 

[nybor62]

bri's price is more realistic imo

 

[John Benton]

I would be looking at about £900-£950

 

[charlie1]

Well my price seems good then as its for a friend, not a close friend though. I do wonder why I get drawn in to these mates rates scenarios though... This whole business does my head in at times, thanks lads

If you live in a small place like I used to I knew everyone and they all expected and got a good price. Now I know nobody and my price is my price!

 

[Bubblecraft]

What is the original substrate of the floor Mark?

 

[Bubblecraft]

£900 to £950 for me also

 

[charlie1]

Chipboard, pretty solid so putting down cement board

 

[Peter]

Bout £650 in silly NI rates.

Some local idiot down the tile shop where i sent them to get there tiles quoted 19 quid per m2 without seeing, now the client is a bit errrr unhappy with the price I gave them, my standard reply to these situations is that I'm selling a different product and having worked with most of the competition in my area, I believe I am! I have since called shop in question and tiler to tell them I don't appreciate getting my business poached from me when I send business to there shop so that will be a last and to discuss the other tilers business ethics but he was not very forthcoming with chat

 

[Ian]

Bang out of order, the tile shop should show you some loyalty and never have allowed that to happen.

It's caused me a bit of hassle to say the least bri and its all needless as the job is mine although I completely understand its a free market and all that!! I thought I was doing the guy a good deal with the price I gave him, I have already done his 35m2 kitchen in the same tile and they know my finish is very good, yet it only takes one muppet to throw a spanner in the works.... Your right bri, out of order. I actually wouldn't mind them just going with the other tiler now as I don't want anyone thinking I'm ripping them off. I'd love to see a 19ppm2 polished porcelain installation tbh.

Some folk are very odd, if you've worked for them before and given them a great job, why worth risk getting a crap job for the sake of saving a few quid? I lost a recommendation job a few months back, quoted £350 for a splashback (couple of days + mats) and they declined saying the joiner had quoted £175. I wasted my breath trying to explain what the difference in finish would be and just left it.
