Hi everyone and thanks for looking into this, a friend of mine who is not really bother with the quality of the job asked me to do his Bathroom (Wall tiling) now he is aware that i am not a professional and i only did it a couple of time for friends as a favor.... out of his kindness and to encourage me his offering what ever it would cost him if he hired a professional would you guys be able to help me to estimate this job please (bathroom is 3m x 2m , just walls no old tiles to rib off. Regards
No idea. But unless you do a completely professional job in all respects, then how could you possibly accept the same payment a professional would expect?
the tiler I use charges £25 per square meter and he's a first class tiler, so he'd charge £150 for your job and it would take him half a day,
Take your time, do your very best , and you might get more work through this one job . So don't think too much about the money just now . It'll be great experience for you and you'll get faster in the future. With a bit of luck, you'll also get the £150. Hope it goes well for you Goro .
Also, you would be better off using a slow setting adhesive, but that would mean going back the following day to grout. So it'll be a day and a half, money wise. That bits up to you.
Going rate for a pro in Liverpool is anywhere from £16-£20 per square metre with the tiler supplying the Adhesive. A bathroom 3mx 2m assuming a ceiling height of 2.4m comes in at 24sq/m so here a pro would charge between £384 and £480. But if you're only starting out I wouldn't dare charge a mate anywhere near that.
Good shout on measurements but I'm sure there's at least a door and possibly a window so it's going to be around the 20m2 area, that only if there's no fixtures and fittings in place. Or do you charge the whole area as a rate, which allows for cutting and messing about around awkward areas.
my bad, I knock off 2m for a door but nothing for a window as you have the reveals of the window to tile and they are all cuts. So would be 22 sq/m not 24sq/m
thank you all for your advice and support ..... wish me a good luck i shall let you know what the outcome
