Depends. Is it 2x1 tiles laid horizontally on wall? Cause those are harder to tile thus more expensive and needs adhesive called cement gun which are quite expensive. Better decide urself whether you want horizontal or vertical and ask your contractor which one he charge for. If its horizontal, then its considered cheap in my opinion

hmm, maybe you are right about the horizon/vertical layout. but i've heard this from two sources of tiler that horizontal arrangement requires more skill. i have no stand on this since im not a tiler myself.

but bigger tiles costs much more to tile that i agree.

Why would you want to do that? Tiles get very cold and not suitable for bedroom especially when there's AC. You get cold hard feet when waking up on tiles. Get laminated flooring instead. Price wise not much difference.

Reasonable i guess. But why need waterproofing. Isnt that for toilet only? Another thing, for the skirting, get another color like white. It looks so much better. Nt reli nice if same color as floor.

Ops, my mistake. Also this is using 800 mm tiles, meaning 2 and half feet tiles. Are you sure you want to lay such large tiles? Larger tiles charge differently.

Tile cutter (the one look like old-style typewritter one.. manual type, pull then press down to cut) can only used to cut tiles 2 inches or more.. longer than that, you will realize the tiles keep breaking.

So to cut smaller tile, you need to use the machine cutter, use electric one. Cut also need to be extra careful.

To paste the tiles, you need cement, sand, tile grout and water. You can paste and cut them yourselves but they will probably look like crap if you have absolutely zero experience. Tiling is not as easy as it seems. In terms of difficulty, it is labeled as 'Advanced'.
