Whats the most expensive tile you have fixed

Whats the most expensive tiles you have fixed? mine was the picture of the cockeral you see on my post...i think they where around £3,000 for 64 tiles and they were hand made in holland. They where 4inch tiles and they went on the wall behind a Aga.

Bit frigging stupid to pay £3000 for a crappy looking cockeral where most of the tiles are flipping white anyway :lol:

My most expensive tile... prolly a mere £5 per tile.

Can't remember exactly, but I did a glass tile border last year which was on the expensive side of things. Somewhere between £9-10 per tile, came in packs of three. Each tile was 10x10cm

similar to you Enduro but not quite the same value. About £25 a tile. Although my one and only **** up where i had to retile a wall at my cost cos the customer hadnt listened to me and in my naive haste i went ahead anyway despite me thinking it wasnt going to line up. Silly boy i was back then!

I once fixed some tiles from fired earth 10cm x 10cm ( 100 to a mtr)...£5 each tile...........5 mtrs in total.....

the wife wanted me to fix glass mosaics at £160 a metre into a bathroom that had crap walls so would have needed re boarding/ plastering too. We're doing it up to sell. House is only worth £150k! I wanted bumpy whites. Cue row in fired earth. Were splitting up now! Good riddance!

I was looking around Porcelenosa today as I am doing a months worth of work with their tiles. I couldn't believe the prices of some of their stuff - not so much the tiles but the bathware + accessories.
Those chrome listello strips you put in instead of grout lines : £86 for 2.5 ms !!
Tiny little soap dispenser: £186!!!
I thought these were the kind of bath refurbs I would like to get into and then thought I'd be too scared of damaging anything

Ever had a job where the customer bought exactly the number of tiles needed for the job? The glass border job was such a job. The delivery time on those tiles was like four weeks, so I was afraid even touching the damn things, hehehehehe:lol:

4 inch ceramic tiles, hand made in the cotswalds, £90 m2. Looked **** in my opinion, could have paid for normal 4 inch ceramics and had the same effect, all cream colour, customer had money to burn though.

Currently laying 25 sq m2 of Honiston slate at £150 + vat per m2. Look nice.

Most expensive we have DRILLED is £120psm

It was a city advertising agency and they wanted dead-bolts fitted for their internal glass doors protected by a magnetic drop down bolt at the base.

They wanted to see our full liability insurance for £2m and told us if we cracked the tiles then we pay to have them lifted and reset.

So we rammed the price up to £250 per day + vat. And £8 congenstion charge.

Was on site for three days. Good fun but the staff in their designer clothes trod on my fingers a few times as I laid on the floor. But in their eyes because I was in jeans I was low-life contractor.

I played up to the part and sat in their posh eatery eating my subway sarnie, reading the SUN and sipping coke.

I once fixed tiles in a kitchen,the tiles were also from fired earth ,for two and a half metres they paid £1,900 ,but i suppose they could afford it as they had a see through fridge full with around forty bottle's of dom perignon .
