I've just amended the sizes, the circular ones are 440mm diameter, you'd have thought I'd have remebered ???

The circular ones are Â£195.00 (Â£235.00 for the horse) and Â£145.00 for the 400mm square ones. There are trade prices if anyone's interested.

Pricing's a nightmare as I've not been able to find anyone else who does this sort of thing to make any comparisons.There are a number of people doing the modern stuff with ceramic tiles.

Thanks for the idea about the swimming pool companies, I'll look into that. It would be very easy to do these onto mesh and I can use either the 10mm or 5mm thick marble. Is there a particular thickness of tiles they use for swimming pools?

Work out all your costs for making 1 of them. Stick labour on there at whatever rate you would be happy working for, slap on another 15% profit for your business and that is your minimum price. If you think you can make more out of customers then do so. Reduce price a little for bulk orders / trade / regulars.
If you aren't selling enough then rethink your labour rate / profit %. If you are selling too many and cant keep up with orders then bump up your price and or hire some help.

Very nice work. you've got some patience to do that sort of work. Might be worth contacting architects and interior designers as well.

Thanks for both of those suggestions. I've just joined the Juice forum and am about to look at the Society.
