One word of caution, GLAZED tile does not sound like a good idea where water is present. If you check with the experts (tile associations), there is a recommended friction level for tile that may become wet. Please check on this before you have an accident. I cannot comment on cost, as I have no idea the cost of the tile (I am assuming this is included in the $6000). My suggestion would be to get multiple estimates, review this site for good and bad comments on tile contractors, and also (VERY IMPORTANT) from another post, be sure you specify your expectations for CENTERING of tile within the rooms, and orientation of tile, square with the rooms or diagonal. Get a written contract, and I see no reason to pay anything up front. Simply set a date for the future install so the contractor has time to order the tile.
Hope this helps.
