Tiling quote....too much?

I'm forever suspicious that people are trying to rip me off so wondered if you lovely people think this is a reasonable quote for some tiling please?
It's for 4 sq metres in my kitchen plus re-doing the seals around my worktops too. There are 9 plug sockets to go around. I've been quote £240 for the labour and £80 for materials. I'm supplying the tiles. The tiler has come highly recommended and I've seen some of his previous work but I'm forever sceptical! Thanks

Doesn't sound unreasonable to me but then I've not had much tiling done. Someone else might know better but I'd be happy to pay that for a decent job.

Tradesmen usually work on a day rate.
120-200 per day isn't mad money

4m sq small tiles in tricky areas vs large tiles on one regular prepped wall is v different

I was quoted £350 for 5sqm in London, so I don't think that quote is unreasonable.

A lot depends on what tiles you have chosen and what pattern you want.

Sounds reasonable to me though

Sorry all, only just seen your responses. Thanks!
