in Is this quote fair?
I want 50 tiles putting up in our kitchen they are 15x7.5cm. Been told it’s half a days work and will cost £75 excluding tiles and all materials such as grout and adhesive.

    £75 seem cheap enough. Its when tiles need cutting that takes the time.

    That is very cheap, maybe too cheap?

    Also you don't normally grout until the adhesive has set so usually next day or so.

    I!!!8217;ve had 3 quotes all about the same price. No one has mentioned needing to come back the next day to let the adhesive dry should I be concerned?

    Far too cheap? It's only around 0.6m2. If it's a flat wall with no or few cuts it won't take a pro long at all. Presumably they'll use cement adhesive, so grouting the same day will be fine - it's the ready mixed stuff that needs air. A very reasonable quote.

    £75 is too cheap because he has to allow for a days work, a bigger job will be charged by the m2, I would have expected at least double that quote
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    A fair price based on what you've told us.
