Hi
I am new to this forum I have been tiling for 20 years. 2 years ago I pulled away from tiling so out of touch on pricing. I am in Dartford Kent so I just need to know what tilers are charging. Cheers

I've just read through this for first time, some right variation! Some bull rubbish as well I recon!

I am a little upset that I am not getting as much as some of you . So will be moving to a town near you soon .

Ask the naked tiler where he lives.

Hi All
I'm in the southwest. I agree pricing is difficult. I generally charge £20 m2 for walls, ceramic or porcelain and £25 for the floors, I don't charge extra for porcelain. I do £30 m2 for natural stone on walls and £35 for floors. mosaics £45 m2, victorian tiling £65 m2. I always add a square meter for window reveals or niche. kitchen splash back's I normally do on a day rate £135 a day. I don't charge for cutting holes, installing tile trim or siliconing. Every job is different, no parking and 120 stairs to climb with all the kit, or outside parking and the tiling job on the ground floor, some you win some you lose.

I do floors cheaper than walls . It's just they are easier and I get more done.

Every individual job in every town is different..just lost a floor I priced up at £20pm for 35 m which is cheap, 600x600's, could have done it in three days proper graft, but I thought £450 at day rate ridiculously cheap (£13pm) so went in at £700...
"too expensive, my sons going to do it" good luck with that

Some people don't know what they are looking at, it'll end up looking like a split faced job!

Ask the naked tiler where he lives.

He says he works away . Apparently he goes to Liverpool they reckon there is is a local tiler under charging

I think we're all under charging if £600 a day is his wages!
