how do you price up a job ?

[ian158]

How do you guys price a job, does it depend on tile size ? i,e you can cover a lot more area with a 300x600 than a 200x100 !is it per sq mt or on a day rate where you allow your self x days @ x amount.

Both and all depends on the job

Are you asking as a Tiler or customer?

[ian158]

as a tiler, as I do bathroom refits I look at the job and think how many days it will take, for rip out, install suite tile etc etc, but I am just not charging enough, or im to bloody slow, so Id like to get and idea of what a tiler would charge, as i might just pass it on, but dont want to go round with 2 off us when i can quote on behalf of a tiler.

Ian - if you get your post count up a bit you can gain entry to the Tilers Arms and prices can be discussed in there.
We are here to help on all tiling matters to ensure that your jobs can be undertaken to a high specification.
As this section is viewable to your customers as well, it's good to talk these type of questions over a pint, but of course you have to buy the first round and there is only 15000+ members!

i normally price per metre mate but thats because ive been tiling for 16 years and i am quick enough to make good money and well as doing a good job but the price per metre changes on what tiles the customer picks i.e 8x10 bumpy white i can do quicker so i dont charge as much as if im doing 60x30 porcelian which take longer but ask your customers when measuring which tiles they have in mind. hope this helps
