How much does tiling cost?

The tiling costs in this article are correct as of 2022

Tiling is one of the most functional and attractive ways to decorate a home, with many advantages - protecting walls and floors from water damage, being easy to clean, and available in a huge variety of colours and styles. With so many options though, working out pricing for tiling can be complicated. We’ve put together this guide to give you some idea of how much tiling can cost, looking at tile prices, as well as specific bathroom tiling costs, kitchen tiling costs, and floor tiling costs, so you'll know what to expect before you start your project.

Tiling costs per square meter

One of the simplest ways to break down the cost of a tiling project is to work out the cost based on the size of the area being tiled. On small projects, you can take the area, say a bathroom wall, work out the size, and apply a rough cost based on that. The cost will be split between two main elements - the price of the tiles themselves, and the labour involved in fitting them.

The cost of tiles varies widely depending on the style and material of tiling, with different types, such as ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles costing differing amounts. It is usually easiest to purchase tiles yourself for a job, and it is easy to shop around to find the style and price-point that suits you. Remember, it is a good idea to buy more than enough to cover the area you want tiled, to account for any damage or breakages during the tiling process - around 10% more is a good rule of thumb. Given all the varieties involved, it is hard to put a price on tiles themselves, but around £20 per square metre would be fairly typical for simple tiles.

When it comes to labour, the price will depend on the experience of thetiler公司的规模和你的位置，伦敦的价格往往更高。最终，每平方米房价可能在每平方米20英镑到40英镑之间。不过，如果刷墙时间超过6个小时左右，刷墙工也可以按日计费，每天的费用在150英镑到200英镑之间。

There are also additional costs, of things such as grout and adhesives, which may come to £50 depending on the size of the job, and extra costs if the walls need preparing, with either plastering or removing old tiles needing to be carried out.

Common tiling jobs

All tiling jobs will ultimately come down to the calculations above, with a very rough price of £50 per square metre, but we can break down some of the most common tiling jobs and point out any particular issues which might affect the overall cost.

Cost of wall tiling

The price of wall tiling can be worked out by the calculation above, assuming there are no significant issues such as the wall needing to be prepared.

Cost of floor tiling

地砖可能比墙砖更贵，因为它们需要足够的耐磨性来承受脚和家具的重量。底地板也可能需要准备，这会增加地砖的整体价格。

Cost of tiling a bathroom

One thing that can increase the cost of tiling a bathroom is if you choose to do mosaic tiling, using very small tiles, as this will be far more labour intensive and take longer to complete, so will increase the price accordingly. Similarly, if you have a sloped ceiling or other surface that makes tiling more complex, it will add to the full bathroom tiling price.

Cost of tiling a kitchen

Kitchen tiling can be fairly straightforward if you a tiling a backsplash behind a sink or a worktop, and a tiler may be able to quote an all in kitchen tiling price fairly simply.
