How Much Does It Cost to Tile a Floor or Wall in 2025?
If you’re planning a tiling project this year, it pays to understand the costs involved — from labour and materials to the type of tile you choose. Whether you’re going for a classic look or a bold black porcelain tile feature wall, knowing what to budget makes all the difference. Here’s our 2025 guide to UK tile installation costs.
Average UK Tiling Costs
- Tiling labour costs per square metre UK: £30–£60/m²
- How much do tilers charge per day? £150–£250 on average
- Extras like grout, adhesive, trims: £10–£20/m²
Typical Project Costs
| Project | Estimated Total (Labour + Materials) |
| 1. Small bathroom floor (5m²) | £250 – £400 |
| 2. Kitchen floor (15m²) | £650 – £1,000 |
| 3. Wall tiling with large black porcelain tile | £800 – £1,200 |
| 4. Wet room installation | £1,000 – £1,500+ |
Costs can vary based on layout, tile size, and room condition.
What Affects the Price?
1. Tile Format & Material: Large black porcelain tiles require extra care and precision, which can increase labour time.
2. Surface Preparation: Old tile removal, levelling, or waterproofing can add to the total cost.
3. Room Complexity: More cuts, corners, or obstructions = more time and higher labour charges.
4. Tile Pattern & Layout: Herringbone, chevron or mosaics often come with a premium due to the precision needed.
