Evening all.
Quick question. We have a potentially tricky bit of tiling needing doing. On the same wall as the bath is situated lengthways, the previous owners have filled in a window, put in a steel above and then tiled the resulting rebate, using shonky DIY mosaic sheet. This extends round to the wall at the head of the bath with the shower on it. The whole area to be tiled is in the region of 9.6m2.
We’ve been trying to get local tilers to quote, but most don’t return calls and one turned up, sucked his teeth and then didn’t return our calls. Most recent fella came and gave us a quote of £1,600 ex materials.
Now, I don’t want to denigrate a tradesman but that seemed extremely high to me for a small area, albeit a bit trickily laid out.
I appreciate he’ll have to remove the tiles, make good the boarding underneath, and relay, but still – does that sound pricey, or is it just me?
