Is this price fair - regrouting two bathrooms?

ahfh1

Hi,

I have 1 en-suite and 1 bathroom to regrout the tiles.

Bathroom is 8m squared tiles and en-suite is 5m (£226.80) squared tiles (£282) inclusive of VAT. So total is £508.0. Is this price reasoable?

Breakdown of quote here:



Another question....Would it be cheaper for someone to hack off the old tiles, buy some cheap tiles and tile those on? Might be less cumbersome work than regrouting which would be a tedious task.

Thanks

Thats two days work spread over a three day period (to make sure you have at least one available facility at all times thats why) or one day if you don't care whether you have a loo or a shower for a couple of days. I think you should ask a tiler to quote you rather than a builder or P.....o Plumbers TBH

Doesn't make logical sense. Prolly three days work in that option including making good the damage when the old tiles come off and you still have to grout the new tiles anyway.

Old grout removal with Dremmel or Fein or similar tool is a breeze. Am presuming its standard grout and not epoxy stuff?

Get another quote.

The house is empty at the moment so it's OK for the tiler to spend 2 or 3 days working on it.

Yes, it's standard grout, so hopefully should be OK to remove.

Nothing wrong wth the tiles, so I think re-grouting rather than re-tiling is the way to go.
