Quoted a small bathroom remodel at $12k all-in (~$2k materials), based on ~80 sq ft subway tile walls and ~40 sq ft standard 12x12 floor tile. Client knew this and paid a deposit. This also includes paint and new toilet. No plumbing or electrical to be moved.

Now before start, she wants mosaic (12x12 sheets) on both shower walls and floor. Floor will be on slab after demo.

Obviously more labor, flatter prep needed, slower install.

How much would you add for this change? Flat add or wait until demo to see what I will be working with.

Would love some advice

EDIT: Yeah I’m getting quotes form a few different tilers and they are all coming in between 9k and 12k. I think the owner is trying to do a bait and switch on me!

I’m a residential GC trying to get into high volume work for property managers and motels.

Does anyone do this and how did you build the relationship. I’m thinking about just walking into there office or is it better to call?

Any other ideas to build relationships with repeat clients?
