Tiling costs depend on the surface, tile type and layout. Measure the area and ask for a site assessment before assuming a simple rate covers everything.
What to check
Discuss surface preparation, layout, cuts, trims and the appropriate adhesive and grout. Ask about waterproofing where relevant and use suitable professional guidance. Confirm who buys the tiles and how wastage is allowed for. Agree curing and return-to-use guidance so the finished work is not damaged by being used too soon.
Questions to ask
- Is surface preparation included?
- Who calculates tile quantities?
- What finishing details are specified?
Compare written proposals against the same brief
Give shortlisted providers the same description and ask them to identify exclusions. Separate assessment, labour, materials and any follow-up that applies. A lower total is difficult to judge if it leaves essential work unspecified. Agree who can approve changes and how the finished job will be checked. For work affecting safety or structural performance, use the appropriate qualified professionals and required approvals throughout, not only after a problem appears.
