Are additional costs for wood-look floor tiles normal?

Hello everyone,

we are building with a general contractor and the standard offer includes 30x60. However, we would like wood look with the format 30x120. For the additional cost, we have to negotiate with the tiler. Now we have received the additional costs, here the tiler charges €26.30 excluding VAT per m2 for laying. I can understand that it takes longer. However, €26.30 is just under €30 including VAT, which I find extremely expensive. The tiler also laid the screed.
Am I mistaken here?

Looking forward to your feedback

Am I mistaken here?

Yes. In relation, that is not expensive. It is magnified by how much more meticulous the work and surface preparation have to be so that the tiles do not break and are not uneven in height. This is not apprentice work; it costs masterful.

The surcharges for laying large-format tiles vary depending on the tiler. If your [GU] possibly has another tiler, you could also ask there.

Best regards

We paid about twice as much extra for the same scenario. But with a few square meters of tiles, it hardly makes a difference.

we have about 120 sqm to tile, so you do pay attention to the price.

we pay €12.90 including VAT for 120x20cm additional costs per sqm
