Theres so many way of working out a price for a job, and frankly it can get confusing really.
At first I was pricing up on sqm, then changing sqm rates depending on type of tile I would be using, sometimes even what cuts might need doing, but It got silly really so now at the moment I just look at a job and roughly work out how long it will take me and charge my day rates, so if it's a 2 and a half day job, then my day rate x 2.5, much simpler.

I have only ever worked on a day rate.In other words I look at a job and assess how long it will take, taking into consideration what I am working with.If it is a 4 day job then it is £175 x 4 plus materials.I don't charge extra for door trimming or sockets because that will have been taken into account with my day rate.

i charge £25m2 plus materials for anything over 5 m2 anything smaller like kichen splash backs or small toilet floors then its £150 day rate , but i also consider the type of tile porcilain, granite etc take greater care to cut so add a little extra

shaun....

i live in the Midlands and its getting alot harder to command the prices i want, what with every man and his dog deciding tiling would be a good career! I usually price on m2 ( much the same rates as everybody elses ) and day rate @ £120 per day. Im finding myself advertising further and further away from Birmingham due to how saturated it is around here now. OH well keep plodding on 🙂

I know the feelin Fekin!
Personally, I have a look at the job (and a sample tile if theyve got one) or at least find out what theyre thinking of having, Work out how long it will take, materials cost and any other costs and go from there.
Normal stuff £20-£25 per m2.
Mosaics, little floors (cloakrooms etc) £150 plus mats.
Ive had a few customers who've shown me a sample of what theyre having but when i arrive theyve changed to somethin else like granite! To cover myself ive started putting a statement at the bottom of my written quote which just lets them know if they change to stone, mosaic etc then an extra charge may apply. It really works coz a few have phoned to let me know they changed the tiles and do i need to check for timing and cost.
That way, you can sort your diary out so you dont let the next job down at the last minute.
You wont win every job you look at, theres always someone cheaper about!
Keep it up mate and youll get there, pricing comes with experience.
good luck.
