1. Quotation to fit customer supplied toilet and basin in downstairs cloakroom, fit customer supplied bathroom suite in family bathroom, relocate toilet and basin to customer specified location, tile areas as specified, supply all necessary materials to complete job:
Labour: £1445 + vat @ 17.5% (£252.87) = £1697.87

How much tiling? It might not be too far out. Are you getting some more quotes?A house isn't a home without a cat.
Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.

It includes 7sq meters approx of tiling basically i only want splash backs done and if i want mosaic tiles then it will cost more! Ive had varing quotes one at £3.5k which was ridicualas tried convincing me i needed to fit saniflow due to relocated the wc! i had one in at £1.5k but that did not include a heated towel rail and hes not returned any of my calls for ages so ive given up on him! Im just waiting for one more quote but i think i may go for these guys, was hoping to get it done for £1.5k really materials seem a bit pricey to me?:hello:"Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing it doesn't go in a fruit salad

That's because mosaics need their own type of adhesive and are a pain to cut and work with.discountmummy wrote: »It includes 7sq meters approx of tiling basically i only want splash backs done and if i want mosaic tiles then it will cost more!....
Depends what you need to do to "relocate" the toilet, amongst other things. I posted somewhere recently about material prices where I had extended the hot and cold about 2m and done a little changing around of the existing pipework. I used nearly £50 of pipe and parts just to do that. I've also just looked at some old estimates and I noticed I must have used about £160 in materials to tile a bathroom I did recently (and that doesn't include the tiles, that's adhesive, grout and preparation work)discountmummy wrote: »....really materials seem a bit pricey to me?A house isn't a home without a cat.
