Tiling Quote - fair?

travel_freak

Hi,

I am hoping to get a tiler to tile approx. 4.5 square metres in kitchen (above worktop to cabinet level).

Had several "My Builder" (online) quotes of around £100 to £150 (and a handful much higher).

Had one person in to look and quote who said £250.

Please does anyone know what a fair price should be? There is one straight wall around 2.5m long and then one L-shaped section. There are probably about 5 sockets to tile around.

Many thanks.

Sorry, I meant to say the £250 quote is NOT including tile adhesive or grout (or tiles obviously!).

Many thanks.

Approx 1 -1.5 days work

Mapei Adhesives, primers and grouts £35

Going rate in edinburgh would be between £180-£250

Is there any prep work needed,Wall paper removed and walls flat?

Hi Andy,

Many thanks for your reply, much appreciated. No prep work required I don't think, walls are flat, slight residue of old glue where old tiles were removed but pretty flat.

So this seems fair then, I wondered whether it was on the high side but I'm not up on costs for these things.

Thanks once again.

I'd agree with Andy seems a fair price. I'd probably be looking for £ 200 - £ 250 darn sarf.

Be wary of £ 250 excluding addy, grout etc. That seems a tad high.

Cheers
