I had a couple of quotes on tiling (both wall and floor) my bathroom. The approx size of the bathroom is 28sqm.
Tiles provide by me.
The work split up is given below
1. Remove the tiles around the bath and vanity unit and shower cubicle
2. Wall tiling and Floor tiling
3. Replace the radiator with Towel rail
Cost split up below
Tiling adhesives and grout: £225
Extras (ply-board, whale bag etc) = £150
Plumbing = £200
Labour (removing tiles around bath, vanity unit and shower cubicle, removing the toilet,tiling the wall and floor, re-fitting the shower door) = £1075
Total = £1938 inc VAT
Does it look alright?...Should I ask anything else?..
FYI Picked this tiler from checkatrade.com..
thanks

Looks expensive for me especially "Tiling adhesives and grout: £225" and I'm not sure you have £200 worth of plumbing in your details
Get a couple more quotes, can you not take the old tiles off yourself to save labour?

:eek: thats mad for grout and adhesive,at least half that would be closer
depends if the walls are too bad for tiling
there may be straightening of walls included in the quote which may add extra adhesives/ wedi board etcHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0
