What would you charge for this one?

[Spirit]

I have just tiled this bathroom on daywork, my 1st tumbled marble job, but was wondering how much you would charge for a job like this?

Floor 300x300 tiles, lower walls 100x100 border 200x25x25 upper walls 200x200.

The bathroom is 3.2m x 2.6m x 2.7m high

Not sure but looks really nice mate!

Sorry but don't know enough about tiling at the moment but it looks a very nice job.

[kilty55]

nice job there,,was advised on my course to charge 70 to 80 a sq metre for marble,not come across anyone using it yet tho

[d c tiling]

Hi mate, looks a really nice job. I`m only tiling part-time at the moment so my speed is not up yet, consequently i charge on meterage. I would be looking at around £700-750 plu materials.

[kilty55]

just looked at your 2nd pic there,,that is excellent work there m8,diamond set as well im sure on top of your sq meterage u can add 50 percent on for diamond set.

[john32145]

How long did that take you m8 uv done a cracking job.

[kilty55]

id be looking for a small fortune for that one m8 excellent work earns excellent money

[Spirit]

I was thinking more of a large fortune.

[kilty55]

aye i agree,plenty pennies for that job,,have you not quoted the customer before you done the work?

[Spirit]

The whole job is on daywork, I have done everything except skimming the ceiling and I am now 2nd fixing the plumbing. I am just curious to know what pro tilers would quote to do this job.

(Before anyone comments, I am a C&G qualified plumber 603 and a G&G qualified electrician 2360 to part II)

[kilty55]

im not that experienced but based on the fact its marble,small tiles on diamond set also id probably charge in the region of 2 grand for the tiling.

the overall look to the bath room is good couple of tips 1. when you cut into the corner doing diagonal try to wrap the cuts around on to the adjacent wall 2. try to get a larger cut to the ceiling but it is a good 1st attemp i know some people tell you about 70 and 80 pounds a sq m for marble tiling , in the real world you would get between 30 to 40 a metre for the straight tiling 45 for the diagonal 5 linear for the dado

If you are on day rate and happy with that rate there's your price.

Did you charge the same day rate for all the work or different for pipe bending & sparking? Where I live sparks and plumb boys seem to ba able to get at least 50% more than tilers, that's assuming you can get them to come at all.

[Spirit]

I am happy with my rate, was just curious as to how much others with more experience would expect to charge. If you don't want to post on the forum please let me know by private message.

I have done wrapped corners on the diagonals but the above photos don't show it. The small cut at the ceiling is unfortunate, but was the best compromise to look nice around the other bathroom fittings.

I have taken another photo of the window, which was a right pain, very time consuming but ultimately very rewarding. The reveals are at 65deg and had to be mitred. To keep the grout lines around the reveals and head, some tiles had to be reduced and dressed to match the tumbled edges.

nice job and tidy round window

Right then, I'll be first to stick my neck out!

i would say that a job of that standard would take me 5 full days to complete, assuming no fussy prep work. So 5 x day rate = £ 750 to £1125 depending on the tiler/customer

I would insist on using BAL Single Part flexible white @ £29.00 / 20kg - 5 hr bucket life and lovely to work with.

Labour and materials £1300 - £1600 depending on the mood?

By the way - it looks a great job and I personally would be happy to pay top dollar for that!

[Grace'sDad]

I'm glad someone upped the price. I was pulling a leg there.

I would want at least £2k for a job like that, and it would prolly take 5-7 days, not 5 as I said before. (I'd maybe drop to £1800 if I really wanted the work though).

Any customer has got to be happy to part with 2-2500 for that quality!

How do you know if he has or hasn't wrapped the cuts around the corner? I can't see from the pictures.
As for the small cut, I think he's come full tiles off the dado. Maybe a cut tile to the dado didn't look right.

Top job by the way. £2.5-£3k inc mats. You need to spend time on work like that, and it looks as if you have.
If thats your first job of that kind you're doing well, if you can improve on that by the time you do your last one, you'll have done some fine work.

[turtle-tiling]

very nice job there, your looking at around £500 -£550 for the plumbing alone average price for bathroom, and then what ever you charge for M2 plus materials, you got to be looking at £1750 ish could be a little more, but what ever youve charged like ive said before very good job

[deanotile]

hi £35.00.M2

£35.00m2

[Spirit]

I have just uploaded pictures of the finished bathroom into my album.

[DARRELL]

[Spirit]

[Grace'sDad]

decimal in the wrong place?

[Spirit]

Materials cost over £15k

[tilemania]

hi Spirit,

i'm just wondering how long it took you to tile this bathroom. i'm not a full time tiler but i do my own tiling on my 'hi-end' jobs. something like this would probably take me a couple of weeks just to do the tiling though
