Bathroom Tiling (Belfast)

Hi All,
I'm saving up to get my bathroom tiled and I recently got a quote for the entire job, it came in at £2200. This included the tiles (a basic white tile), tiles on the floor and PVC for the ceiling.
The bathroom is roughly 10f by 12f and 12f high.
Is £2200 in the region I should be looking at and does anyone recommend any good companies in Belfast to get a second quote from?
Thanks

Based on the measurements you have given (are you sure the ceiling is 12ft??) the white tiles will be around £450 (£8/m2), the floor tiles about £200 (@ £14/m2) and the glue/grout about another £60. The materials for the PVC roofing should be no more than £200. That leaves labour costs of £1300.
All rough costs of course, but I suspect the labour will be fairly similar across quotes. It will come down to workmanship and that you will only find out once it is done.0 -
Probably closer to 10f high, I think the quote was for around £1200 of labour so you're spot on.0

If the OPs measurements are correct the wall tiles are approx. 47m2 £8/m is £376, floor tiles are 11m2 @£14 = £154, grout & adhesive seems too cheap @ £60 to be honest, trims aren't mentioned.
My tiler would cost me £1042 for the areas above.
Tiling then is approx. £1630
Then you've got your PVC & skips for waste, tile trims, any plumbing works ???0 -
No plumbing work required.0

beware of cheap tilers
A friend of mine employed a cut price tiler
He was cheap for a reason!
His workmanship was a disaster, the job ended up costing more than double to put right0 -
Sounds like the price I have been quoted is reasonably spot on then?0
-
I should have qualified my post by saying that I'm not a tiler, but I have recently done my bathroom so I have an idea of material costs.
Always a 10% allowance with those figures as we don't know where your tiler is buying the tiles.0 -
Tiler is buying the tiles and I do know his work is fairly decent too.0
-
Where is a good place to get a quote from a reputable firm?0
-
Get a second quote, I'm sure there are good firms that others on here will be able to advise you on.0
