Find a Tiler in Perth for Floors, Walls and Bathrooms

Start with what you actually need

Most people looking for a tiler in Perth are in one of three situations, and they are different jobs with different costs. Working out which one you are in is the most useful thing you can do before anyone quotes.

Something is cracked, loose or leaking

Tiles that have cracked, lifted or sound hollow when you tap them. Grout that is crumbling. A shower that is letting water through. The first question is always whether the problem is at the surface or underneath it, because that decides whether you need a small repair or the tiles have to come off.

You are tiling something new

A floor, a bathroom, a splashback. New work is more predictable than repair work, and what it costs is driven mostly by the tile you choose, the layout, and the condition of the floor or wall underneath.

You are still working out a budget

Published Perth prices for the same job disagree with each other, sometimes by a factor of two, and bathroom renovation figures disagree by far more. Our cost guide puts them side by side and explains why.

What tiling costs in Perth

What we can get quoted

Floor tiling. New floors, replacing old floors, and repairs to cracked or drummy tiles. Also wall tiling outside wet areas. More on floor tiling in Perth.

Bathroom tiling. Full bathroom retiles, shower and splashback work, and regrouting where the tiles themselves are sound. Waterproofing sits inside this work and is covered on the bathroom tiling page.

Kitchens and laundries. Splashbacks, floors and wall tiling. Same trade, smaller jobs, and often quoted hourly rather than by the square metre. More on splashbacks.

Repairs and small jobs. A few cracked tiles, a lifting floor, a shower that needs regrouting. Small jobs are harder to get quoted than large ones, so it helps to be specific about what you need.

How a tiling job actually runs

A tiling job runs in a set order, and most of the stages are where one quote differs from another. Knowing them tells you what a tiler is actually pricing.

1. Assessment and quote. What is there now, what is going in, and the condition of what is underneath. On a repair this should include working out the cause, not pricing a guess.
2. Removal and disposal. The old tiles and adhesive come out and go away. Tiles are heavy, and that is part of the job.
3. Substrate preparation. Levelling, patching and repairs. It is the most variable stage on a renovation, because what is underneath is not known until the old surface is off. Large format tiles need a flatter floor than small ones, so tile choice can add a levelling stage.
4. Waterproofing. In wet areas the membrane goes on, is detailed at the junctions and the floor waste, and then has to cure before anything is tiled over it.
5. Setting out. Where the first tile goes decides where every cut lands. A straight layout is the simplest, and diagonal and herringbone layouts mean more cuts and more waste.
6. Laying. The part everyone pictures, and often not the longest.
7. Grout and silicone. Grout in the joints and flexible silicone where walls meet the floor and each other. They are different materials doing different jobs.
8. Curing and sealing. The grout cures before the area is used or sealed.

The detail is on the floor tiling and bathroom tiling pages, and what the stages add to a price is on the cost guide.

Where we cover

The Perth metropolitan area, north and south of the river, and out to the eastern suburbs. If you are outside the metro area, tell us where you are and we will say straight away whether we can find someone rather than leaving you waiting.

What to include when you enquire

The more specific you are, the more useful the quote. Worth including:

• The room and roughly how many square metres
• Whether it is new tiling, a retile, or a repair
• Whether old tiles need to come up
• Whether you have chosen tiles, and what kind
• Anything unusual about access, timing or the condition of the floor

You will not know all of it, and that is fine. Nobody can price a tiling job properly without seeing the substrate anyway, which is why the tiler will want to visit.
