Tiling charges normal or am I scammed? - TilersForums.com

Hi there,

I’m in a bit of a pickle.

I hired a tiler to do our tiling and initially he told us that it would cost $50psm.

Once the job was done, he then told us he’s charging us an extra $3000+ for screeding and he calculated our job based on boxes of tiles he opened, instead of actual area installed.

Is this normal?

Am I being scammed?

Also with the screeding, he elevated our shower bases because he said our waste is too close to the wall (about 5cm from the wall). Is this a thing or is he just trying to charge me more for nothing?

Firstly how many meters are there , and what sort of waste water fittings are you using for the showers ?

Yeah I'd like to see before and after shots of this one.

Although it was a while ago when they posted.
