Pricing guide
Costs are mainly driven by the condition of the substrate and whether waterproofing must be reinstated. Simple replacement or resetting on a sound substrate is typically less expensive than jobs that require re-bedding, substrate repair, or wet-area waterproofing and compliance checks. Callout fees usually apply per visit, and extra visits for drying or curing will generally increase the overall cost.
Substrate condition
If the surface beneath the tiles (the substrate) is sound, simple resets are usually possible; damaged substrate may need patching or re-bedding.
Need for waterproofing reinstatement
Work in showers or wet areas that disturbs a membrane often requires reinstating waterproofing and extra sealing, and may involve compliance checks.
Extent and number of tiles
Repairing a few tiles is typically quicker than replacing a large area, so the number and area affected change labour and materials required.
Tile supply and match difficulty
Materials usually include adhesive and grout, but replacement tiles are only included when the tiler supplies them and typically for modest quantities; sourcing special tiles can add time.
Number of visits and drying time
Re-bedding or waterproofing work may need multiple visits for drying or curing, and callout fees are generally charged per visit.
