Tiling Rates Per Square Meter - How much does tiling cost?

[Simionb1]

When installing larger tiles where nearly every tile is a cut, with rectified edges, metal trim etc it's got to be a day rate.
£200.00 per day minimum. Plus materials.
It's a skilled job getting more technical so this has to be reflected in the cost.

That's very cheap Ray, what do you do about washing and drying times before sealing? What sealer do you use on the damp stone?

One big issue nationwide, is social media. Customers post a job with, for example, pictures of a kitchen splash. They will say something like "its 4 metres of tiling, looking for quotes". They are then inundated with replies and all of a sudden it becomes a Dutch Auction. After a while somebody says he will do it for £80. Obviously his work is going to be poor, but the people following the thread now think a kitchen splash is worth £80!
I am in Somerset and charge £37-£50 per metre or £220 per day. I wont let the customer knock me down a penny. Recently priced for a bathroom refit. After receiving my quote, the customer mailed me asking how we can knock £2000 off. He was trying to knock me down! I replied by saying "Don't install the shower". That will save £2000 (it was high end kit).
Lol... Not what he wanted to hear!

See at m rate it sounds cheap as chips but at day rate its £50 an hour which is pretty good, especially if your paying lad a tenner 😉

Price work is calculated at £250 per day for tiling. Same as the other trades I do. I supply materials on every job though so if you take into account the money made on the materials, the average day rate is between £300 to £350. Tiling takes up about half of my time on any job.

Not bad that, your average is around 90 grand a year, have you included VAT on your prices or do you add on

F uck off and tell the truth you moronic d icks

How did you get to £90k per year?
£300 to £350 per day is correct.

I’m not sure how many people on here work all day every day but I certainly don’t. You’re assuming I work 52 weeks a year at £350 per day which I don’t. I probably work 40 weeks per year absolute maximum. The day rate is correct though.

So £70k a year with 3 months holiday?
