How much will a tiler cost?

brazilianwax

Me again.

Having realised that a resin floor is completely out of price range, I have fallen for some gorgeous agglomorate tiles. :rolleyes:

I've managed to find them at half the 'London' price :j but they're still comparatively expensive.

So I want a tiler to fit them. It needs specialist kit (diamond blades etc), and as we're fitting a curved shower and the tiles are costing an arm and a bit of a leg, I am not prepared to do-it-myself (will already be doing the rest.

How much does it cost to get porcelain tiles fitted? Will be a bit tricky as will need to go around edge of shower and loo etc, but what's a ballpark cost per square metre? House is in south Wales.

approx £30 sqm inc adhesive and mats

standard rubi snap cutter will do fine

Tiles are best laid under wc and shower and not cut around

My son is a tiler in N.Wales. He charges £20 per sq metre. Materials (adhesive, grout, silicone, tile trim, etc) are extra.

It is easier if the tiles are laid first and then the toilet put back on top, this also gives a neater finish than cutting tiles to fit around a toilet pan.

If any work is required to make good the surface, depending on what this is he charges day rate (£120) or recommends the appropriate trade to carry it out (thinking here of wall tiling and any making good to plaster/straightening walls where there would be too much build up with adhesive, or where any sanitaryware has to be plumbed, etc.).

I paid £1,800 for tiling and plumbing a 20sqm (wall and floors) bathroom. It took two weeks.

£240 a day here (East Anglia)
Tilers will want to lay under toilet etc for a better look.

I paid £29 sq. yard (north east) but someone else I know got just as good a job for £15 a square yard.
I guess you just need to get a few estimates.
I have to agree with Andyhop have the tiles laid under the bathroom suite and shower it looks so much better.

Tilers are expensive - do it yourself....

No WAY am I doing it myself. I would normally, but these tiles are incredibly expensive. Wasting just one would be the equivalent of paying a tiler. :eek:

Will think about the tiles going under the shower - the loo is staying so didn't really want to have to move it, but if it's much better, it may be worth it.

I think it is going to need a professional tiler. The tiles have glass chips through them, which will make it more complex.

They are gorgeous though :heartpuls:
