am i pricing too much?????

[CJ CERAMICS]

a customer wants me to tile their hallway 10m2
with black and white quartz tiles which they are buying for £70.00sm
the shop selling them are retailing them at £110.00sm but if they do not require a receipt (this is a fairly big company with over 20 branches nationwide) they can have them at £70.00.

the hallway floor needs levelling.

to level floor fix tiles and supply materials i quoted £380.00. which i thought was reasonable(not charging to apply slc just cost of materials +10%

customer thought that this was too much?

what do you think?
cheers

I don't usually get involved in the pricing forum, but to be honest, £380 seems a pretty good price to me. If the customer wants to pay £700 for the tiles and then let some bodger fix them at a fraction of the cost, then I think you should walk away.

I'd pay you £380 to come and tile my bathroom
