All materials to be included except the tiles..ie, trim, grout etc...

I will also tell you what another tiler quoted when we've had a few in..

Mark.

 

[bal]

Roughly £1100

 

[wayne]

somewhere around £1300 for me

 

[Mike Strutter]

I'd quote £1200, not including any SLC.

 

[brian c]

£1450 all inclusive of slc everything.What were you quoting Mark?and what was the other quote?let me guess £2100 from other quote?

 

[White Room]

Probably round about £1400, There's a lot of bits and pieces to sort out.

 

[devonmark]

i quoted £1470 that was an all in price and included patch plastering of the walls and levelling the kitchen floor....he drew a deep breath and then told me I was way off the mark and that another tiler had quoted £700 all in, i just laughed and said good luck..

 

[DEN]

Would roughly charge ROUND £1350 for that job,what kind of tiles you fitting though?

 

[White Room]

£700 thats f*****g ridiculous, I'm stunned:speechless:

 

[DEN]

Was it a polish tiler,the bloke was taking the p... me thinks..

 

[pjtiler]

Was it a polish tiler,the bloke was taking the p... me thinks..

ah thats the problem
some of them poles are 1st class tradesmen

 

[GazTech]

£700 just covers the bathroom if up to speed.....ffs

 

[DHTiling]

It is not just the polish under cutting prices..........i don't think you can lay the blame at there door every time....
This will happen in every trade EVERY DAY......there is always someone willing to do it cheaper.......It is best just to give your price and professional advice and if you don't get the job because you were well under cut..Then there is no point dropping your prices to join them is there.....maybe you might get the call back to put it right if these under cutters balls it up........

 

[Tulsa]

£1300 depending on tiles,700 quid my god!!!!!!

 

[chris.tiling]

was gonna say 1450 all in...700??????? Say to them that you look forward to their call when they need you to rip off the tiles the cowboy has put up...and it will be 1600 instead!
