Default Re: Pricing Job for Mosaic Tiling

Dear Bhoystris
bad luck mate.
A friendly word of advice, at first when you are starting off you can expect to do jobs cheap for the experience, but there has to be a cut off point. Iknow that there are many tilers out there who will always undercut you, there always will be. But you have to aim high, or you might as well go get a job somewhere else. You want to earn a living - not a wage.
I price myself on square meterage or AT LEAST £150 PER DAY plus materials - more if I can get away with - the best I ever did was a 22 sqm floor , onto plywood, tumbled marble - priced at £45.00 per metre - Had it all down in a day ( 12 hrs ) , one coat of treatment. One coat next day & grout in evening. £990 CASH - only used 4 bags of adhesive & 4 bags grout so materials about £110.
Aim high - if you get known as cheap, you will stay cheap. Take a risk & see what happens. I'm not talking about ripping anyone off. Just a right price for a right job.
Regards
