What a tiler's quote must include
- Your business name and contact details (and logo, if you have one)
- A quote number and the date
- The client's name and the job address
- Itemised lines: each piece of work and each material, with its price
- The total, and whether VAT (or your local sales tax) is included
- How long the price holds, where 30 days is standard
- What's excluded, stated plainly
- Deposit and payment terms, so the money conversation happens before the work
- Who supplies the tiles, and that the order includes about 10% extra for cuts and breakages
Tips from the trade
- Quote preparation as its own line. A wall that needs boarding or a floor that needs levelling is a day's work the customer never pictured when they showed you the tiles.
- Say in writing who supplies the tiles, and that the order includes 10% for cuts and breakages. Running out mid-job on a discontinued batch is only the customer's problem if you said so first.
- Price the awkward cuts separately. Mitres, mosaics and cutting around a curved bath are the hours that quietly disappear inside a flat per-m² rate.
- Say what happens if the substrate turns out to be wrong. Tiling onto a wall that won't hold tiles is the one thing you can't fix afterwards, so the quote should say who pays to put it right.
Common questions
- Who should supply the tiles, me or the customer?
- Either works, but the quote has to say which, and it has to say the order includes about ten percent extra for cuts and breakages. Running out halfway through on a discontinued batch is only the customer's problem if you put it in writing first.
- How do I price a pattern like herringbone or a mosaic?
- As its own line at its own rate, not as a flat per-square-metre price with a bit added. A herringbone floor is a different job to a straight lay in the same room: more cuts, more waste, more setting out and a great deal more time on your knees. Priced separately, a customer choosing the pattern can see what the pattern costs and choose it properly.
- Quote or estimate: which should I send?
- A quote is a fixed price for defined work; an estimate is an informed guess that can move. Customers prefer quotes, so quote whenever the scope is knowable and keep the genuinely unknown out as a stated exclusion or provisional line.
- How long should my quote stay valid?
- Thirty days is the common default. Shorten it when material prices are moving, and say so on the quote. A validity window also gives an undecided customer a gentle reason to stop drifting.
