Tiler wanted

A tiler works smoothly and with the best materials, so you will quickly enjoy a beautiful tightly tiled wall or floor. Have you searched for a tiler who charges the lowest price? Then don’t forget to ask about the quality. Renoca tells you what to look out for when looking for a tiler.

What does a tiler cost?

In general, the more time-consuming the project, the higher the price. Tiler costs are on average around £30 to £40 per hour or £25 to £40 per m². The type of tiles (ceramic or natural stone), the size of the tiles and the difficulty of laying them all have an influence. Below, you can see the average price per m² and the average price per hour charged by a tiler.

How to find a suitable tiler?

If you’ve searched for a tiler before, you’ll know that the range of tilers is vast. To make sure you make the right choice, it is wise to compare tilers carefully. Consider the following 3 points in your decision:

Pricing

Pay close attention to the rate the tiler charges for his work. As you can see in the price chart above, prices vary. Especially for large projects, the difference in costs runs high. Request prices from various tilers without obligation to gain insight into the price differences and create a better negotiating position.

Reliability

The quality of the tiler is at least as important as the rate. If you have been looking for a tiler, check whether previous customers have left reviews about the tiler. That way, you reduce the chances of dealing with a tiling company that does not live up to your expectations. In addition, check the tiler’s website to see if the company has any quality marks. The government has no specific requirements for the tiling profession. This means that anyone, with or without experience, can start a tiling company.

Small regional or large national company

A small regional company is locally oriented so you enjoy lower call-out costs and more personal contact; they often take more time to discuss your requirements. Another advantage is that employees are often versatile; one person will tackle the entire bathroom. A possible disadvantage of a smaller company is that they have fewer staff, so it sometimes takes longer for the tiler to get to work for you. The advantage of a large company is that they often have a maintenance or service department that is available 24/7, useful in case of emergencies. A disadvantage of a national tiling company is that contact is often less personal because the tiler is quickly moved on to another project. In addition, you have to deal with call-out charges.

What are the advantages of hiring a tiler?

You have searched for a tiler because you want a nice smoothly tiled wall and/or floor, but what are the specific advantages of outsourcing this project?

Guarantee

If something goes wrong during or after the tiling process, it is nice if you can fall back on the guarantee of the tiler you have searched for. It is important to inquire about the guarantee scheme before choosing a particular tiler. If you start laying tiles yourself and something goes wrong, you have no guarantee and the (repair) costs may be higher than if you had hired a tiler directly. On average, you get a 5-year warranty on tiling.

Speed

For tilers, it’s a piece of cake to calculate at a glance what the layout of the tiles should be, including nuisance bends and pipes. If you have no experience in tiling, this work is very time-consuming. You will be in the mess for an extended period of time while a tiler only needs 1 to 2 days. As a result, you will soon be able to use your kitchen or a hot shower again.

Requirements

An experienced tiler already has the right professional materials and tools to get started right away. Save yourself a scavenger hunt to buy or borrow all the necessary tools.
