The prices look fine and the labour looks fine. If in doubt why not get 2 more quotes. Its always hard to discuss tile prices without seeing the tile. For example Right price tile in my opinion is cheap but it can be hit and miss. Some stuff is good some is bad. It can be said that once the end user is happy with the tiles it does not matter. True! But ask a professional tiler to lay bowed porcel in a brick effect and it will make the tiler look like an idiot.

6 tubes of silicone 60 euros. thats expensive.
i bought 20kg bags of evo stik flexi adhesive for 16 euros.
it should be cheaper for bulk orders.
tile trims at 10 euros each are a rip off.
rite price tiles is known for charging very high prices for adhesive grout trims etc.
you should get a few more quotes?

I agree but on a grand scale if he was to go somewhere else for the adhesives and grount and the tiles come away it would be hard to prove any case against the supplier if he does not use his materials.

Silicone trade is about 5 Euro a tube/Tile trims anywhere from 2 -5 euro. The rest is not really worth discussing. I thought. I notice there is no primer but then again....

I agreed on the few other quotes. No better way to good business than competitive business.

yes i agree with you you should buy your tiles and adhesive in the same place but you should not have to pay too much for it.
the evo stik adhesive i bought for 16 euros a bag was from rocca tiles in galway and they supplied the tiles as well.
for say 55 bags thats a saving of 495 euros.
so it all ads up.
