Pricing guide

Cost is driven chiefly by the tile type and finish, since large-format, natural stone or mosaic work typically needs specialist adhesives, extra levelling and slower laying rates. Substrate condition, the total area and whether a waterproof membrane is required for wet areas usually add labour and materials. Timing (for example after‑hours attendance) and difficult site access can also increase the final cost.

  • Tile type and finish

    Large-format tiles, natural stone, mosaics or intricate patterns typically require specialist adhesives, slower laying rates and extra levelling effort.

  • Area size and layout complexity

    Larger rooms, many cuts or complex patterns increase labour time, cutting effort and material wastage.

  • Substrate condition and levelling

    Uneven, damaged or unstable substrates usually need additional preparation, repair or levelling before tiles can be laid.

  • Waterproofing and penetrations

    Wet-area installs that require a waterproof membrane and sealed plumbing penetrations add labour, materials and cure/testing steps.

  • Timing and site access

    Restricted access, difficult handling for heavy or fragile tiles and after‑hours attendance typically increase labour or logistical allowances.

Frequently asked questions

Do tilers need to be licensed?
Tilers working on these jobs are required to hold a licence. You should ask for the installer’s licence details and any relevant compliance documentation, especially where waterproofing or regulatory approvals are involved.
Do I need to supply the tiles?
The standard profile assumes tiles are supplied by the homeowner and delivered to the work area. If you want the installer to source or deliver tiles, discuss this upfront as it may change the scope or materials provided.
How long will the installation take?
Timing depends on the area size, tile type, substrate condition and whether waterproofing is required. Complex finishes or large-format tiles typically take longer because laying rates are slower and more preparation is often needed.
What does bathroom waterproofing include?
A wet-area profile generally includes labour and materials for a standard waterproof membrane system and sealing around penetrations, with allowance for cure time and testing. Manufacturer-specified systems or complex penetrations may require additional materials or specialist work beyond standard allowances.
