Tilers in your area

Tilers

Tilers work on projects ranging from tiling a kitchen or bathroom to fitting out a shop, hotel, swimming pool, or restaurant with tiles. Some tilers also do specialised work, such as mosaic walls in landscaping gardens. Marking out an area to estimate the quantity of tiles and adhesive needed, cutting tiles to size and form, levelling surfaces with plaster, sand, or cement (rendering), attaching the tiles, and adding grout are all common steps in a tiling job. Before the setting and marking out step, many tiling jobs will require the removal of the old surface. Ceramics, terracotta, stone, glass, granite, and marble are among the building materials used by tiling contractors.

Choosing a Tiler

It might be tough to find the proper tiler for the job, just as it can be difficult to find the perfect tradesmen for any task. However, if you are planning to spend a lot of money on your tiles, the last thing you want is a shoddy job. When choosing a tiler, the most important thing to remember is to get someone who is properly certified. Professional tilers will provide a warranty for their work, however if you hire a "handy buddy" to perform the job, you may have issues with their work that are difficult to correct.

Using a properly trained tiler provides peace of mind, despite the fact that it will almost certainly be more expensive (but having the job redone if it is done poorly the first time will be far more costly!). Professional tilers will be able to show you examples of their prior work and provide you with contact information for their former customers.

Wall Tilers

Tilers work on projects ranging from tiling a kitchen or bathroom to fitting out a shop, hotel, swimming pool, or restaurant with tiles. Some tilers also do specialised work, such as mosaic walls in landscaping gardens. Marking out an area to estimate the quantity of tiles and adhesive needed, cutting tiles to size and form, levelling surfaces with plaster, sand, or cement (rendering), attaching the tiles, and adding grout are all common steps in a tiling job. Before the setting and marking out step, many tiling jobs will require the removal of the old surface. Ceramics, terracotta, stone, glass, granite, and marble are among the building materials used by tiling contractors.

Floor Tiling 

Depending on the type of floor tiles used, floor tilers will generally charge between £35 and £60 per m2 (Ceramic, Marble, Granite, Natural Stone, Slate or Mosaic Tiles). Skirting/dado, mitred corners, and silicone sealing are frequently charged extra. Tilers' quotes for flooring sometimes do not include the tiles themselves, but rather adhesive, grout, and labour. However, some businesses may give a pricing that includes the supply of tiles, so make sure you are comparing like for like in terms of the materials included when comparing quotations. 

If you receive quotes per square metre over the phone, tilers will presume that all old tiles have been removed and that the surface is clean and flat, unless you specifically tell them differently. Furthermore, normal prices are based on a square or rectangular space; if the room has an unusual form with several nooks and crannies that would necessitate extensive cutting and fitting, the price will go up. Before comparing prices, have the tiler visit to your home and precisely price the project, then offer a written quote so you can see exactly what is included.

Bathroom Tiling

Tilers may typically charge by the day for smaller tasks like tiling a basic bathroom and provide a price that includes labour, adhesive, and grout; however, no tiles are usually included in the price. A small bathroom will cost approximately £350, whereas a big bathroom will cost around £1000. Tilers often quote for tiling on "good" walls, so if old tiles must be removed or the walls must be prepped, costs will obviously increase.

Furthermore, tilers may be required to remove the toilet or basin in order to tile behind them, which will take longer and cost more. The size of the tiles used can also impact the pricing, since larger tiles cover the surface faster while extremely small tiles take longer. Check with the tiler to see if the quoted prices include waste removal, as with any home project.

Kitchen Tiling

Depending on the size of the kitchen and the height of the tiling, kitchen tiling may cost anywhere from £200 to £500. These rates will usually include tile splashbacks above worktops and presume clean, naked, smooth, and ready-to-tile walls. These prices do not include the cost of the tiles, but they do include the cost of grout and adhesive, so remember to include in the cost of the tiles when estimating a kitchen tiling job. If you only need a small section of your kitchen tiled, such as around and above the sink or cooker, expect to pay approximately £100 for a half day of labour. 

If you are having a new kitchen installed, you may employ a professional that can handle all of the tasks. It will make the procedure much easier, from flooring to tiling. You can get an accurate quotation from a professional who can do it all since they can determine exactly what they require and how long it will take.
