price it for a days pay connors cause it'l probably take up most of your day anyway. Try centring at bowl and pedestal. If you cant , make templates from old newspaper and dry cut first before mixing addy. Good luck.

Yep day rate plus materials. Rapid set if you want it finished quick other wise it's back the next day to grout. No need to prime concrete

If not rapid set then you won`t be able to grout the same day. Not sure about a cheaper option for the addy, spf is what i would use.

I cut a piece of lining paper the same size as a tile and place it where you want your tile to sit and you can bend the paper and draw the line around the toilet or pedestal. Cut the shape out of the paper and then transfer whats left to the tile. Worked an absolute treat for me mate!

Dayrate for me and all, if your just starting and the job is local then i started at 100 a day. But you figure out what you need and stick to it. Take your time and do it right. Good luck.
