Costs Involved With Hiring a Tiler

Introduction:

Floor tiles and wall tiles now days are a big part of the house design. They can fit great in the interior and look really good. You can place them almost anywhere in your house, for example, a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and even bedroom.

But for everyone there are questions like: How much does it cost? How much time does it take? And mostly, how to place them? Here are answers to all of your questions.

What type of tiles are available?

You can place tiles almost anywhere. First of all, there are floor tiles and wall tiles. Mostly they are used as kitchen tiles or bathroom tiles. Those two places are the most popular, but of course, you can place them also in any room.

Some of the tile designs:

• Mosaic Tiles
• Brick Tiles
• Wood effect Tiles
• Ceramic Tiles
• Quarry Tiles

And many more. They are so many that it’s hard to count all of the types and designs.

If you are getting tiles for bathroom or kitchen it’s better to choose anti-slip tiles. Because they can get really slippery with spilled water on them and the last thing you want is painful falling and even getting injuries.

How to place tiles?

It will be hard to do it by yourself, especially if you don’t have any experience. The smartest thing to do would be hiring local tiler to do everything right. Because you don’t want to damage something or place them wrong.

How to find a Tiler in the UK?

These days finding a tiler is nothing hard, in fact, it could be easier than you think. First of all, the internet is full of tiler, just enter a city where you need and there will be a huge list to choose from.

If there is a building company, there is a huge chance they could tile floor for you. Or at least know someone who could do that.

How much Tiler cost?

There is no one answer, it varies of size if chosen tiles and how much space needs to be tiled.  But the average price in the UK could be about £20-£25 for every square meter, not including the material costs.

But if you want to tile the whole bathroom, which is about 8 square meters big, it would cost about £500 including all the material and work.

How long does it take to tile whole room?

To tile the whole room it takes maximum one day. But after that, it takes about an hour for prep work. Also, one hour for grouting and cleaning per square foot. Also, never forget, there is 24-hour waiting time between installation and the grouting. In that case, it should take about three to five days to finish everything.

Old tiles

After a while tiles can look used and even old. A lot of people think they now need to take off the old ones and replace them with new. But it surely is not like that. It’s like that almost the same for anything, for example, like restoring old car or furniture.

At this point you, if the tiles are not broken or missing pieces, you should think about not throwing them out, but re-grout. It’s quite simple and fast. All you need to do is remove the old grout, it takes about 2 hours for specialist and after that, clean them and then re-grout. That takes about 30 minutes until 1 hour. Time is like that for kitchen tiles and same as bathroom tiles.
