Pricing check please

[ishi69]

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.

Not as cheap as £589 though, that is a silly price.

Totally understand bri... Someone on here has a very very true saying about you soon forget about the price when the job is done to a very good standard. It's laughable though, you spend £1000 on tiles then they query your price of 750 to fit because someone said 19pm2 without even seeing the job ... I'm really trying hard not to blow trumpets but there is tiling and there is tiling FFs, there is a lot of average tilers in my area I tell ya, total minefield!

Bare in mind all, I have known the guy for a good few years, we don't go for pints or anything but I thought I'd give him a good deal, this mates rates crap is getting to complicated. I agree, I gave him a good price. I tell you what, everyone gets the same now unless they are close mates or family!!!

I could understand if it was a new customer but, an existing one! I think the price you quoted is more than competitive, this other guy must either be working for a very low wage or cutting a corner or 2 somewhere.

Jobs that involve family and friends are alway the worst, they always want something for nothing and just generally make life awkward. I was supposed to be doing a job for a friend of my dads last month, they were being such a pain that in the end I spat my dummy out and gave the job to someone else.

£950 @ £30 per m2

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.

Says it all for me really Bri. Why they asking the joiner to quote for a tiling job. Would they ask you to quote for a joinery job........

Customers like that just aren't worth wasting time on.

 

[Peter]

I'd love to see a 19ppm2 polished porcelain installation tbh.

So would I, that's a stone price over here. You'd be pricing that at 14 or 15pm, maybe 16 if you're lucky. :lol:

One of my questions to them was, "what cutters will he be using?" They had no idea, probably a jigsaw and a chisel. These are the sort of jobs I'd love to go and see but it'll probably never happen.

Where's your area mark? I agree it's too cheap, problem is too many idiots doing jobs cheaply. I know a few who are first class and sitting at home just now because of this.

 

[Martyn Leeds]

Walls are good and the only prep is boarding the floor?

IMO,
£24.19 p/m2, Labour only, isn't bad.

Collecting the tiles is generous, but is the shop local or 20miles away?
I'd be wanting a pound or two for that possibly.

How long are you expecting the job to take? 3-4 days?
3 days you're laughing at £250 per day
even at 4 days its £187.50 per day
5 days is £150 per day

I'd be happy to do 'mates rates' at them prices for Labour Only
