Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Jan 23, 2009 6:20 am Hello everyone. Just wondering if anyone can help me out with a couple of tiling quotes. Area is roughly 7m2 and will be slate tile.
Quote 1: Includes supply of 5m2 slate tile (we have 2m2 already) waterproofing labour to install slate and seal Approx. $450 / m2 inc GST Quote 2: Waterproofing Labour to install tiles and seal (we supply all the tiles) Approx. $176 / m2 inc GST Big difference between the two quotes and I'm not sure why. I know Quote 1 is supplying the tiles but I can't see that making up the difference. Also, is installing slate generally more expensive than conventional tiles? I was expecting more around the $40-50 / m2 to lay the tiles excluding the waterproofing. Thanks in advance Re: tiling costs 2Feb 12, 2009 11:27 am I would go and look at some of the work from both quoters and see if there is a difference in quality.
the first quote may include extra tiles for mistakes and breakages. ??? Sorry not much helP.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it. W.C. Fields Brought Established. Re: tiling costs 6Feb 27, 2009 9:54 am The second quote sounds about right. Also ask them what type of waterproofing memberane they use and then look them up. Some brands of membrane have a bad habit of deteriorating after a few years whereas others are much more durable.
