I agree with your comment 100% if people can charge this for the odd job then fair play but day to day works working for a subbie nowhere near these prices.This has all got to be based regionally...however I don't think for one minute someones getting away with charging 40-£50pm all day every day, that's going on £200k a year...lets be realistic eh
Based on 10-20m a day, which is being realistic, we must have some millionaires on here then..
Certainly not many tilers out there pricing up work in their Ferrari’s that’s for sure

Site work is a completely different animal to domestic .
On site work how often do spend time putting down dust sheets every morning and lifting them up every night . Getting materials on the way to your job .
I did a bathroom the other month , skilling ceilings , not large tiles but there was only one whole tile on the job .
How often do you cut a tile , lay a tile and then cut a tile because that's the end of the run .
I've done site work, tile a whole bathroom in a day , i can't manage that in someone's house . That's why I charge more than site rates day in day out but I don't drive a Ferrari because it ain't site work .

Oh and I have been to a house that was tiled by site workers . It had failed 1000 x 500 and the reason it had failed bad adhesive application and no back buttering , because of the rates they were on they wouldn't of had time to back butter

And to be honest I would be happy to throw 600x600 on a floor in a large building at the rates you site workers work for because I would probably drive a better car and van than I do now

That's what I am talking about!
Stone £110 per m2 installation, plus bullnose fabrication, plus materials
Ceramics £80 per m2, plus materials
Prep work, waterproofing, Dittra matting etc. extra charges
I would say, you gotta know the trade from head to toe to get these prices. Loads of tilers out there claim to be the best but cannot deliver a top notch job
I have been in business for about 22 years now, whenever the customer ask me why I charge so much as on MyBuilder website claims the average national price is £20 to£40 per m2, I tell them ******* to have them deliver my jobs, won't happen
Take a look at these pictures below, it took me two months to deliver this bathroom, all by myself. From taking the entire bathroom apart to joist, floor, walls , waterproofing, limestone installation and fabrication.
I hope this helps the forum

Sorry to raise clips .
But Its like the I don't use clips brigade .
Let's see your videos of sliding a 2 pound coin over the floor
Anytime, I will compete with you, and not just with a video, will take you in my job and slide the £2 coin yourself.

We can't really discuss pricing for individual jobs like that there are often too many variables.
Also, we wouldn't want customers assuming that's the going rate. McDs are going to pay about the least I'd have thought.

I assume you didn't do an apprenticeship or worked your way up learning the trade?
Personally I worked around 3 year's being a do this do that for a old school proper tiler learning the trade then done my 3 year appreciatship then another few years at not full rate, then had enough experience to know how what and why and don't now neex to ask, but that was before 2 week qualifications come out and you tube tilers.

Why do you price different things at different day rates . If I was a brain surgeon and someone wanted me to cut their lawn it would be a very expensive mowing session because that's my worth
You are either the slowest tiler on earth or you are earning a absulute fortune.
Ive no idea where you are, but you chargethem prices in lancashire, you will be sat at home playing doctors and nurses with your wife or husband
When I'm asking and we are collating info that we could perhaps do every few years and see trends change, sure.
When a customer is going to hold their local tiler to the cheapest quote they have had online or on social media or whatever, hell no.
There's a massive difference in the two types of price.

for me this thread must be in the arms
I did it's above you.
We (I) will ask this every few years to see if we can find a trend and what that is.
I'll also be using it to show customers what their pricing is like (and to show them not to get a cheap tiler in).
It's a small part of a bigger bunch of things. And it needs to be public.

As I said, I'm not a tiler at all, I'm a car mechanic by trade. But am looking to change careers and the idea of tiling really interests me. I was just trying to get a ruff idea of what potential earnings could be.

Average wage for tilers according to total jobs is around £32,00 per year. Another price online is; rates per square metre can vary between £20 and £40 per square metre. However, tilers can also charge by the day rate if they’ll be there for more than six hours or so, which can come to between £150 and £200 per day. so six hours a day, is now a days work haha. Greed, greed, greed. The times we live in hey.
I think as plasters nowadays and many other trades a fair days pay for a fair days wage is a no no. They will charge as much as they can no matter what and if the charge can be increased in any way at all, they will do it. Our society has become a dog eat dog society. On here, there seem to be some decent guys who are not willing to exploit people, they have integrity but most don't deserve the time of day, unless you charge of course for your time.
For these reasons above and shoddy work that has been done in the past by so called professionals, I no longer will have any tradesman doing work for me. I will do it myself and to a good standard but I admit is much slower.

May I suggest you spend it wisely, for instance, imparting your knowledge on those that need help with their projects because they are too tight to pay for it to be done by one of us rip of tradesmen.
Anyway I’m off for a swim in my pool, followed by a drive in the Lambo. 😂
