Pricing guide
The main cost drivers are the size of the job and whether you need a simple repair or a full-area re-tile with substrate preparation. Substrate condition, waterproofing for wet areas and whether you supply tiles will typically change labour and materials allowances. After-hours attendance and staged membrane curing can also increase the total time on site or extend the calendar duration.
Job scope and area size
A full re-tile generally requires more removal, waste handling and labour than a small, localized repair.
Substrate condition and levelling
Uneven or damaged substrates often need preparation or repair before tiling, which usually increases labour and materials.
Waterproofing and wet-area regime
Work that includes membranes and staged curing for wet areas typically requires specialist materials and extra staged tasks.
Who supplies the tiles
Homeowner-supplied tiles are usually allowed and tend to reduce material allowances, though cutting and matching still add labour.
Timing and access (after-hours/staging)
After-hours attendance or jobs needing staged curing can increase overall cost due to extended scheduling or premium time rates.
