Just had a quote for laying the ceramic tiles - almost £1700 excluding the tile cost! At that rate the resin is less expensive 
Not sure what part of the country you're in but how many days labour is that quote for? Do the maths then look for a better quote is my advice. Ordered mine from them - checked around for prices and couldn’t beat it. Very helpful chap called Steve sorted me out.
It’ll be around £1k all in including adhesive, grout and 46m2 of light grey Dotti R9 tiles. That’s including fitting as well.
Much more hard wearing than interlocking and a better looking finish.

South Coast. Quote included £400 for adhesive and another £50 for sealer. I get the distinct impression it was a "I don't really want the job but if you're dumb enough to pay this much I'll do it" price.JonnyCJ said:

He’s just our handyman, but can do anything. Unfortunately he’s 280 miles from Hampshire.
It’s not rocket science - you can do it yourself if you have the time. Watch a few YouTube vids.
I would do ours but am being banned from big jobs by SWMBO
I got a tiler I’ve used a few times before to do mine.It’s not rocket science - you can do it yourself if you have the time. Watch a few YouTube vids.

He got a minor fracture in his leg a couple of weeks beforehand and turned up with one of those protective boot efforts on and still did the job .
I think he charged £400 iirc , worth every penny , my arthritic knees wouldn’t have lasted an hour doing what he did.

Yep, 280 miles would be a bit of a stretch. You're right, I could do it - I've done enough DIY tiling of kitchens and bathrooms over the years - but knackered knees (and elbows) mean it would take me weeks.It’s not rocket science - you can do it yourself if you have the time.

I'm guessing he's nowhere near Hampshire either, but if he is then please PM me his details. He got a minor fracture in his leg a couple of weeks beforehand and turned up with one of those protective boot efforts on and still did the job .

Not so much arthritic in my case, but a succession of ACL, MCL, Medial Meniscus and dislocation injuries have taken their toll. Twenty years ago I wouldn't have dreamed of paying someone else to do such a job. I hate getting old!

How’s Mrs OC’s health ? You could sit back and drink tea and supervise.

LOL, now that really would be something to behold. Sadly her DIY skills are about as well-developed as my knowledge of quantum physics, about which I know absolutely nothing.“You’ve missed a bit there luv...”

I'd really recommend the investment in tiles over anything else. These are porcelain and have been down for 6 years, endured many a dropped tool, jacking of vehicles and general duties with no impact to the finish whatsoever and it just makes it a nice place to be.
Certainly looks good. I have couple more tilers coming to give quotes so fingers crossed for a more realistic price.

Great info.. following with interest as we are extending our stone built garage the extended slab has to tie in with the old slab (which we’ll drill in some re-bar to old slab)
so i’ll need to put a final floor down to cover join etc, but due to inevitable slight movement between the slabs i’m thinking tiles may be a bad idea so laying the loose interlocking tiles might be better, are there premium versions of these that’ll last better?
