• Just had a tiling quote in for our very small bathroom (2m x 1.5m), and it seems high to me. It's 3m2 of flooring, with the floor tiles also on the bath panel. And then subway tiles on 4 walls totalling about 16m2. Any thoughts? I'm obviously not an expert, but it seems like a lot of time to do a very small room.

    Labour = 6 days

    1 day build bath panel and access hatch, fix boards and tile

    1 day floor (concrete sub base) + boxing, tiling in floor tile

    3 days wall tiling. Based on 200x100mm tile and non black grout

    1 day finish. Grout etc

    £200 per day x 6 days = £1200 + materials

    Timber, screws, ply, primer, adhesive, grout, trim for window = 2 lengths, miscellaneous
    = £215

  • day rate seems cheap but not sure it would take 6 days

    @chrisbmx116 just had a bathroom tiled he might be able to help

  • Price wise i dont think its that bad but they will defo be juggling jobs as thats not 6 full shifts for the size of it.

  • Are there lots of uneven bits to cut round for the wall tiling? I'm very much an amateur but 2 walls took me a couple of evenings to tile, then another couple to grout. Couple of days should be enough for the tiling - that looks generous by a day but it's probably just rounding with all the other stuff that could easily be a bit over one day.

  • That looks ok quote wise, and is a lot more than tiling.
    My builder took three days to tile if not more, which is a bit slow, but he did a decent enough job.
