Looking for pricing advice.

[xr4x4]

Hello all,

Ive been asked to quote to redo a bathroom and i need a little help on pricing for a tiler, as i take to long.

Its an average size bathroom, i dont i have the dimensions im afraid.

He wants the walls completely tiled and the floor, i will do the prep, walls will be smooth, floor reinforced etc.

So what i need is a price on someone to come in and just do the tiling.

What sort of prices and i looking at? just a rough price.

Hampshire area.

Thanks in advance.

Hope that helps.

I had 18 sq metres to be tiled which works out to be £540, he quoted me £550 which included adhesive.

The work was spot on, no complaints. I was very pleased with the out come.

Tiling is a job for a tiler and not a builder/handyman.

If you’re inexperienced at “subbing it out” then be very sure that whoever does the work knows exactly what they are about with prep & materials, especially over a suspended timber floor; make sure they will guarantee their work, otherwise the “job” could come back & bite you on the asre!

Alternatively post here what their spec is

Their spec? Whos spec?

I asked when I visited what tiles they wanted, natural stone, porcelain etc, but they didn't know.

So I have said in my quote that due to not knowing the spec, I could only estimate.

You can’t estimate even a fix price without knowing what tiles they want, what materials you need & how much cutting is involved, hence the huge price range per sq/mt for fix!

Best withhold your quote until you know exactly what they want.

They asked for Labour only.

They asked for Labour only.

If they insist on employing you labour only, give them your dayrate.

Did you not read the post?!

I needed to price a tiler, not myself.

Anyway, it's done now.
