Reasonable date rate

So I am currently pricing up a job . I'm just wondering if a day rate of £300 for me as a tiler and a labourer is an acceptable price. The job itself is literally on a small island over a rickety bridge with only foot access to the property. The job includes 2 slate floor and a full wet room with envelope floor and tiled upstands. There's 11 meters of slate and the wet room is a mixture of porcelain and tiny ceramics on the walls

"I also think you are slightly cutting yourself on day rate. Individually i charge £280 per day and then plus what ever you pay your labourer on skillset i guess. Us traders have to keep to reasonable rates to cover insurances and business costs. It's not a wise choice in driving down prices to get the job and if it continued we'll be asked if we price match."

"Personally think you are under-pricing yourself.

I usually charge £250-300 without a labourer.

£350 is probably a acceptable rate."
