Setting Out fair prices

[JimmyShoes]

Hi all, just want to tap in to the wealth of knowledge of this sites members. I'm relatively new to the game, and have an issue with pricing a job. From speaking to other tradesmen, most wanted a day rate varying from £100 to £150 a day. My problem is this, although I pride myself on doing a neat and tidy job, I recognise that I'm slower than fella's that do this week in, week out. So, getting my head round measuring a room in m2, and wanting to be fair on my customer, what is the going rate for £'s per square metre for a wall and for floors? I heard someone mention £15 once, is that a right reflection?

I'd be grateful for any advice, cheers

You won't win jobs that will take you 3 days at £*** per day against someone who can do it in 2. I charge ** mt2 for ceramics so if it takes me 2,3 or 4 days ect. i know how much i'll make because like you i'm not that fast,although if it's a small 1 day job i'll go for around £***.This way i keep my prices realistic and competative.

Prices are not discussed in the public sections then customers do not know how to bid fixers down..

ALL pricing is in the tilers arms...
