[mick musik]

hi folks hows it going done my first job last week it was for a friend so done a discount but think right price should have been 450 seems a lot to ask am i just too shy or does this sound right 9m2 bathroom normal tiles nothing unusal except an angle bit on ceiling ta mick

[ad tiling]

Does seem a lot i would charge half that and £40 for materials

[mick musik]

ta charged him 150mates rates but think i ll need to sit and work out proper prices 150 a day or 25 m2 was what i was told but seems a lot to ask/charge,plus 10%for natural stone and a pound for holes

[brian c]

never heard that before,a pound for holes.I also think you are way off the mark wanting 450 for 9m2,if you were told 325M2 THEN THATS ONLY£225.Iwould have charged £250 inc mats and trims.Good luck anyway bud...Bri

I know this is your first job . 9m2 @ £25 m2 = £225 which another tiler will do
in 5 hours then an hour to grout next day, you wont get much work if you
charge day rate all the time try and do more for familly and friends so your speed
improves , best of luck.

you need to stop smoking and talking and taking so many breaks...lol

next time you are grouting try and make your mix a bit thinner and the grout will spread more easy.Let grout dry a little then use washboy to remove excess grout,this way it will take you an hour tops. 3hrs pmsl

Sounds very very expensive.

Works out £50 a sqm, where as my price would have been around the £220 - £250 mark inc materials, but if you think you can get people to pay that sort of price then good for you

[howard]

when you first start tiling you are very slow i used to charge £100 day rate now i have the speed i charge a lot more £150 is way to high for a new tiler unless you can get that much

[mick musik]
