Tiling Rates Per Square Meter - How much does tiling cost?

Jobs with natural stone products simply require more time to lay and finish, all the cuts have to be done on wet cutter , they also need cleaning and sealing . In general thicker material involves more fitting time due to slower cutting process.

Thanks for the reply Andreas. And do per m2 prices include adhesive and grout etc or is that on top? One other thing, prep work, removing old tiles,laying self levelling compound etc if on a floor, I notice people tend to charge day rate for this. Let's just say its one day in prep work for example, am I right in thinking it would be charge at let's just say 150 for that day, then charge the rest of the job at the m2 rate as normal? For instance, 150 prep, 10m2 at 30 per m2, 300 + 150 so 450 all in?

Tiling Rates Per Square Meter / Per Day - How much do tilers charge?

View attachment 107212

I know this is a hard one to answer. But just as an approximate guide for those searching for how much a tiler costs, and landing on websites such as my builder who seem to be selling tilers for pennies, how much you been charging either day rate or per meter generally?

Perhaps if you could split your work between your fancy stuff, and your bread-winning stuff over the past year or so, then do that so we can see the difference.

And then perhaps price per floors and per walls? If different at all.

Just wanted to get the facts straight for those searching, as £150 per day or £20 per meter isn't what I'd expect to pay anymore. It's not the 90's lol

All materials on top
Regarding Your cost breakdown , that's correct, as long as installing 5m2 won't take You two days, make sure You consider all cuts,boxing's etc, like I've mentioned before if there is a lot of fancy cuts, boxing's etc or the tile is small in size You may find Yourself taking pennies for the job.
I'm always trying to give one fixed price for the job/each room (if multiple involved )so calculate how long it will take to go through every step, big floors ,usuall bathrooms on ppm2, prep and tricky areas on day rate.
Always proper on site checks before providing quote
