just noticed that....pmsl

We have a couple of Micks on here that are from Oz. They'll be able to contribute to the pricing question when they spot this I'm sure.

Though I'm sure I saw 30 - 40 AUD somewhere, so you're probably about right with your 30-od to 38 figure.

I think Mick (speedy tiler tips Mick) was the one that said that. And he seems to have been in the trade for some time so I'm sure he's got his prices about right.

come to nz
average tiler 50 to 55
top class 75 to 80 plus

Really? What's that equate to in sterling?

Hi Dean,

Welcome to the forums

$35-40 is about right for new home work if there is 100m2 or more and it's just run of the mill ceramic. If the total meters are less than 100m2 I'd up the price to $45/m2 to make it worth my while. Most of the larger builders will have an allowance for the tiling work and if they give you say 10 houses then they will want a discount rate but I wouldn't come below $35/m2 as the cost of addhesives is always on the rise down here and I won't resort to switching adhesive to cheaper less proven products to try and save a few bucks. Some fixers will and that's Ok they can have the call backs to worry about. If the tiles are porcelain or rectified edge large format my starting price for these is $55/m2 and it goes up from there.

I'm from Brisbane by the way............. where are you from?

i think that 50nzd is around 20 pounds

That'll be a similar price to here then I think. Though many of the guys are finding they're needing to reduce their charges to get work. But I don't know if that's to do with "the credit crunch" or just the fact we have a lot of newer tilers on here and they're struggling to get their name around to get the repeat custom and customer referals sort of thing.

3) what size the tile is?
4) is there a diference in pricing between the floor and walls?

I need general advise how to price on good quality jobs.
