How much does it cost to tile a bathroom?
The cost of tiling a bathroom can vary widely based on several factors, including the size of the bathroom, the type of tiles chosen, the complexity of the job, and the region you live in. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can expect:
- Size of the Bathroom: Small Bathrooms: For a small bathroom, the cost can range from £500 to £1,000. This typically covers the floor and a small portion of the walls. Medium Bathrooms: For a medium-sized bathroom, the cost usually ranges from £1,000 to £2,000. This includes more extensive wall tiling. Large Bathrooms: Tiling a large bathroom can cost between £2,000 and £4,000, especially if you’re using high-end materials or intricate designs.
- Type of Tiles: Ceramic Tiles: These are the most affordable option, costing between £10 to £30 per square metre. They are durable and easy to maintain. Porcelain Tiles: Slightly more expensive, porcelain tiles range from £20 to £50 per square metre. They are denser and more water-resistant than ceramic tiles. Natural Stone Tiles: These luxurious tiles can cost between £40 to £100 per square metre. They add a high-end look but require more maintenance. Glass Tiles: These stylish tiles range from £30 to £60 per square metre. They are often used for accents or feature walls.
- Labour Costs: The labour cost for tiling a bathroom typically ranges from £30 to £60 per hour. For a standard bathroom, labour costs can range from £300 to £1,500, depending on the complexity and duration of the job. If you require demolition of old tiles, additional costs of £100 to £300 may apply.
- Additional Costs: Adhesive and Grout: These materials usually cost between £50 to £100 for an average-sized bathroom. Sealant: For natural stone tiles, a sealant is necessary and can cost an additional £50 to £100. Underfloor Heating: If you’re installing underfloor heating, expect to pay an additional £300 to £500.
- Design Complexity: Simple, straightforward designs are less expensive to install. Intricate patterns, mosaics, or diagonal tile placements will increase labour time and cost.
What types of tiles can you use in a bathroom?
When tiling a bathroom, you have a variety of tile options to choose from. Common choices include ceramic, porcelain, glass, and natural stone tiles. Each type has its advantages:
- Ceramic Tiles: Affordable and easy to maintain.
- Porcelain Tiles: Durable and water-resistant.
- Glass Tiles: Stylish and reflective, perfect for adding a modern touch.
- Natural Stone Tiles: Luxurious and timeless, though they require more maintenance.
How long does it take to tile a bathroom?
The time it takes to tile a bathroom depends on the size of the space and the complexity of the design. Typically, tiling a standard-sized bathroom can take between 2 to 5 days. This includes the preparation of the surface, laying the tiles, and allowing time for the adhesive and grout to set. Complicated patterns or larger spaces will require more time.
Other bathroom tiling FAQs
Where do you start tiling in a bathroom?
Most tilers begin at the bottom centre of the wall and work their way up. This method ensures that cut tiles are positioned at the edges where they are less noticeable.
What is a grout float?
A grout float is a tool used to apply grout to the spaces between tiles. It’s made of rubber and helps to evenly distribute the grout and press it into the gaps.
Do you install a toilet before you start tiling?
Typically, tiling is done before installing the toilet to ensure a clean, professional finish. This also prevents any potential damage to the tiles during the toilet installation process.

Gareth, the proprietor of GMS is a qualified wood machinist by trade and has over 25 years’ experience working within the construction industry. Gareth first started the business in 2005 with a view to provide clients across North Wales and Cheshire with kitchens. In the last 10 years the business has diversified and now accommodates a scheme of works within construction from kitchens to bathrooms, gardens to bedrooms, fire and flood damaged properties and more. Gareth employs several staff and subcontracts to NICEIC registered Electricians and GAS SAFE registered gas engineers. Therefore, GMS can offer project managing and the client only needs to converse with one trade [GMS] rather than multiple. Thus, taking the stress out of the job.
Great communication and work carried out to a high standard.

Arek gave us a fair quote and worked with us for a suitable start date. Arek, Kris and Gutek were lovely, friendly and polite. Nothing was too much trouble and did a fantastic job of the work we needed doing even going beyond to ensure a good finish. Absolute pleasure to have them here for 7-8 weeks. Trustworthy, professional and clean. Would absolutely recommend Arek and his team. We'll certainly be asking him back when we have the garden to do. 5*

Although a small scale job, Patrick was quick to respond to my post and very kindly talked me through a few options, which was very useful and much appreciated. Great that he was able to carry out the work so soon even with my tight timeline. Very satisfied with the result and price within my budget. Thank you, Patrick!

We are a dynamic company that prides itself in delivering service excellence and work to exceptionally high standards. We provide quality services to the Corporate, Residential, Industrial and Commercial properties in South West London.
We made a mistake by hiring Plumb Monkey for this job. The cost of the job doubled as soon as our old bathroom unit had been removed and the standard of their work leaves a lot to be desired. The shower unit leaks, the sink taps were not installed properly, the silicone beading was done very poorly, the toilet wobbles, the tile grout cracked within two weeks of them leaving the job. Basic errors were made on the first fix which needed to be remediated. Nice enough guys but not very skilled plumbers/bathroom
