    About €700 give or take i'd say. Let him supply the grout and adhesive, he will get it cheaper, and get the right stuff depending on the tile

    About right and you can bet the floor is not even being a converted garage so dont forget additional labour and material for leveling

    I think your dreaming. A garage floor... No doubt it was laid perfectly and does not have a ramp to the drive. I would reckon davy's quote is closer.

    also 18-20 per meter is for ceramics and it depends on the amount of cutting.

    Porcelaine and marble is a lot dearer. For the record any porc under 30 euro a square meter is going to be chinese porcelaine. This is usually bowed. So have the tiler advise correctly on the pattern to min this. Imo also buy an extra box... Its far easier to store 6 or 7 pces now than spend a lot more pulling up the whole floor because of breakage.

    Joey: what the story with the insults ???

    Op is looking for a price for labour only not supply of tiles. Im a tiler by trade so i think I would know the going rate for labour. So please keep smart comments to yourself. :mad:

    Its not an insult my apologies if it seems that way. But honestly if your a tiler you know what to expect in a garage set up.
