Pricing guide
Cost is driven by the finish required, substrate condition and whether tiles must be sourced. Premium matching or intricate patterns typically require more layout time and produce greater material wastage, while wet-area specifications add time and waterproofing materials. Timing (including after-hours attendance) and whether you supply tiles can also affect the final quote.
Finish and pattern complexity
Premium matching or intricate patterns usually require extra layout, cutting and time, which increases labour and material allowance.
Tile supply and sourcing
If the tiler needs to source matching or special tiles, that typically adds lead time and may be quoted as a separate procurement item.
Substrate condition and removal
A damaged, uneven or previously tiled substrate generally requires additional preparation or removal work, increasing labour and scope.
Wet-area waterproofing requirements
Wet-area jobs usually include membrane systems and compatible grouts/sealants, adding materials and prep time and sometimes separate line items.
Call-out fee and labour hours
Final price commonly combines an initial call‑out charge plus hours worked and materials, and after‑hours attendance typically increases the labour rate.
