What changes the price for tiling
- Area and tile size. Tiling is priced by the square metre. Small mosaics and very large format tiles both take longer to lay well than a standard size.
- Wall and floor preparation. Removing old tiles, levelling an uneven floor or boarding a wall adds a day before a single tile goes down.
- Waterproofing in wet areas. A shower enclosure needs tanking behind the tiles. Skipping it is the most common reason tiles fail and water gets into the wall.
- Cuts and pattern. Herringbone, diagonal layouts and rooms with lots of pipes and corners mean more cutting and more wasted tiles.
What is usually included
- Labour, adhesive and grout
- Trims and spacers
- Cutting around fittings and sealing edges with silicone
And what is usually not
- The tiles themselves
- Removing and disposing of old tiles, unless quoted
- Plumbing, such as taking off and refitting a basin or toilet
- Underfloor heating, which needs an electrician to connect
The one thing that saves the most money
Buy around 10% more tiles than the area needs, all from the same batch number. Cuts and breakages use up the spare, and a second order from a different batch often does not quite match in colour.

What makes tiling more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
