ᐅ Is the tile installer’s quote too high?

Hello everyone,

We are currently in the final phase of our semi-detached house construction, and now the tiler is finally starting work. We have received a quote for the “additional costs,” but first, here is what is included.

Toilet - tiled
Bathroom - tiled

This is included as standard with no extra cost. However, we have made a few changes and wanted to ask what you think about the prices. Unfortunately, we are not very familiar with this and have no comparison offers, as the tiling work must be done by the site manager’s own tiler for warranty reasons.

Item 1: Since we have a double vanity instead of a single sink plus a laundry chute in the bathroom, he wants to charge extra for the additional tile cuts (extra: 160€)
Item 2: Incorporating floor tiles into the walls – approx. 13m² (extra: 600€)
Item 3: Creating a walk-in shower – tiling 110cm x 90cm (43 inches x 35 inches) plus creating slope (without drain, without tiles) (extra: 1000€)
Item 4: Tiling the ground floor (without tiles) including installing baseboards with miter cuts (40€ per m²)
Item 5: Stainless steel Jolly profile (straight) per 2.5m strip plus installation (extra 56€ per strip)

All prices are net amounts.

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Without specifying the tile size, it’s all just speculation.

But honestly, what is your alternative? Can you simply hire someone else that easily?

Oh, totally forgot....

The tiles are 30x60cm (12x24 inches).
Tiles cost €19.95 per square meter (approximately $1.85 per square foot).

Alternatively, the ground floor could be tiled by a different company...

The 40 net square meters are acceptable, and on top of that, there will probably be the primer at around €2.50 per square meter (if included, it’s even a good price).

Is the 40€ including materials plus tiles? I think that's reasonable. That would be 60€ including tiles. That would also be acceptable even for twice the price.

I find that very, very affordable!
