I was wondering if anyone could advise on how much might it cost to lay the tiles for a kitchen and 2 bathrooms? This is inclusive of labor and the cheapest tiles for:

Kitchen: floor

Bathroom 1: floor and wall

Bathroom 2: floor and wall

Total area is about 1280 sqft.

hacking or overlay?

hacking - should be around 3-3.5k per toilet

overlay- at around 2.5-2.8k per toilet

What is the difference in terms of quality between hacking and overlay? It makes sense to overlay as it is cheaper but are there any pros and cons?

pros - of cos u have a new set of tiles. and new water proofing can be laid. also, if hack everything, you can have the option to shift your drainage

cons - high cost. also, if the existing water proofing leaks, u will have to rehack everything out again and redo.
