Pricing guide
Costs are driven mainly by the scope of work — a topical reseal is typically much less involved than a full demolition and rebuild. Substrate condition, whether tiles or screed must be removed, coordination with tilers or plumbers and the volume of waste to dispose of usually affect the final price. After-hours attendance or specialist hazardous-material removal can also increase costs.
Scope: reseal vs rebuild
A simple topical reseal usually requires less labour and materials than a full strip-and-rebuild.
Substrate condition and repairs
Damaged or unstable substrate that needs patching or replacement typically increases labour and may involve additional trades.
Tile and screed removal required
Removing tiles and screed adds demolition time, increases waste volume and can reveal further issues.
Coordination with tilers and plumbers
Work that needs tilers or plumbers usually requires scheduling and can extend the overall project timeline.
Waste disposal and site access
Large amounts of removed material or restricted access typically make the job take longer and require extra handling.
