How we estimate tiling costs
Materials, tiles, adhesive and grout, are costed over the area plus a wastage allowance (12% by default) to cover cuts, breakages and pattern-matching. Labour is priced per m² of actual area, and costs more for walls than floors because wall tiling is slower and more fiddly to fit accurately. Tile prices vary hugely by material, budget ceramic starts from a few pounds per m², while natural stone or large-format porcelain can run well into three figures, so adjust the tile price to match what you're planning to buy. These are indicative UK figures for 2026, always get quotes from local tilers before budgeting.
