Hi
Thanks for your time to this post.
i would like to re-lay around 200sqft of ceramic/vitrified tile(100sqft floor + 100sqft wall) in kitchen and bathroom(existing house). I've seen info here, and in other sites, that the labour cost of laying tiles(ceramic/vitrified) ranges b/w Rs.10-25 / sqft.
However, two different parties have seperately quoted a price of Rs.13000 and 11000 respectively, that makes tile-laying in bangalore a Rs.50-70 / sqft experience, even if they are just ceramic/vitrified tiles.
Am I missing something here? Maybe the Rs.10-25/sqft rate applies when a higher proportion of tiling is involved(like, new home's flooring)!!
Is it possible that a smaller tiling project, like mine, could still manage to find labour at Rs.12-25/sqft rate?
Thanks again!

Re: Labour cost for 200 sqft of tiling
Rates for small piece works will always be higher. Secondly removing the existing
tiles and cleaning up the area is a messy job. So you cannot compare the normal
rates for a new construction to this situation.

Removal of existing tile as well as fresh ground concrete, has been charged and paid for, as extra labour(40/sqft).sholla wrote:Secondly removing the existing

I was referring to the tiling work on fresh concrete/mortar.
My problem is that I do not know any civil contractor, nor know a friend/relative who has recently hired one, which means that Im driving totally blind, and had hoped for someone here throwing a guiding light!
Thanks for replying nevertheless.
