I install tiled floors and walls, whether that be a hallway, bathroom, W.C or kitchen, I can handle most jobs that involve ceramic or porcelain tiles

Prices start at £500 + materials for a tiled floor. Things that can affect cost are:
What the tiles are going onto e.g concrete, floor boards etc and whether it requires levelling.
What kind of flooring needs to come up before the tiles go down (laminate, tiles, engineered oak etc)
Size of the surface being tiled
All quotes will be confirmed in writing after a visual inspection of the room

For a small bathroom, prices start at £700 + materials but this can vary depending on:
Whether the floor is being tiled too (see flooring price guide)
Whether tiles need to come off the walls first
The condition of the surface being tiled (fresh plaster or wobbly walls?!)
The size of the bathroom

It’s usually a 6 - 8 week waiting time. Although this sould be reassuring to you :)

The three main costs associated with a tiling job are:
The tiler’s labour costs
The cost of your tiles
The cost of the materials needed. Tpically these are things such as: Backer board, tile adhesive, grout, tile trim, diamond drill bits, silicone, adhesive carpet protectors, self levelling compound (if required), plaster board (if required), plaster board adhesive (if required).
Costs for materials again, vary, from job to job but here is an approximate guide:
Small bathroom with floor tiling included £200+
Medium Bathroom with floor tiling included £300+
Small kitchen splashback £80+
Medium kitchen splashback £120+
All costs will be confirmed in a formal quote before works starts.

Ceramic tiles (non-porcelain) are fine for walls but shouldn’t be used on a floor unless they’re specifically rated for floor use. This is because they are not as hard as porcelain and could crack or wear quickly in high traffic areas.
Porcelain tiles are usually safe to use on both floor and walls.
-
Typically it’s much easier for you to order your own tiles and have them delivered to your home address before the job starts.
Any website you buy from should have a delivery estimate that you should check to ensure they arrive in time for the job.
I would consult on how many boxes of tiles you need and usually source all of the materials needed for a job though so you don’t have to worry about that :)

Payment for installation materials is payable up front before the job starts but all labour costs are payable once work is completed.
