Rooms · What We Tile

Three rooms, mostly. A hallway if it's asked nicely.

Every job we do is listed below, with what's included and what the labour usually costs. You buy the tiles, and we bring everything that holds them down and keeps the water out.

Room One

Bathrooms

Stripped back to the substrate, two coats of membrane, then walls and floor. About 6 weeks to the next start.

Full retile with strip out

Old tiles and adhesive come off back to the substrate, the membrane goes on, then walls and floor are tiled and grouted. A small bathroom takes 8-10 working days.

Up to 4 m² floor€2,400-3,600

The layer under the tiles

Two coats, taped corners, collars on every pipe. The part nobody sees and the part that matters.

  1. Your tile
  2. Adhesive
  3. Membrane, coat two
  4. Membrane, coat one
  5. Substrate, stripped bare

Per m²€18

Shower floors to a linear drain

Laid to fall towards a linear drain fitted alongside your plumber. We tell you the exact day they need to be on site.

Niches and boxing in

Shampoo niches, boxed in pipes and window reveals, set out so the edges land on whole tiles where the room allows.

Wall rate€38-52 per m²

Room Two

Kitchens

Splashbacks and floors, fitted around the units and the worktop. Usually 2-3 weeks from booking.

From€380

up to 3 linear metres of splashback

Splashbacks

Between the worktop and the wall units, socket cut outs included, set out so the cut tiles sit at the ends and never in the middle of the wall. Usually 2-3 weeks from booking.

Kitchen floors before the units

Laid wall to wall before the cabinets arrive, so the floor runs under them and nobody is cutting round a plinth later.

Standard porcelain€32-45 per m²

Grout matched to the worktop

We supply the grout, so we bring a colour card and hold it against your worktop sample in daylight before a single joint gets filled.

Room Three

Floors

Hallways, large format, patterned layouts and heated floors, all priced per square metre. Then small repairs, and what we turn down.

Hallways and entrances

Where the boots and the winter grit come in. Finished with a trim where the tiles meet the next floor.

Per m²€32-45

Large format, levelled first

A 60×120 cm tile shows every bump underneath it, so the floor gets levelling compound first. €9 per m², plus €6 per extra 5 mm.

Per m²€48-60

Herringbone and diagonal

Set out from the middle of the room so the pattern meets the doorway square. These layouts eat tiles, so your quantity list adds 15% instead of 10%.

Extra tiles to order15%

Over underfloor heating

We tile after the heating has been run in, so the screed has done its moving before anything rigid goes on top of it.

Floor rate by tile size€32-45, or €48-60 large format

Small repairs

Regrouting a tired shower, or replacing a cracked tile from your own spares, ideally the four we left under the sink.

Minimum job€350

We'd rather not

  • Tiling over existing tiles. We strip back to the substrate or we don't start.
  • Wooden floorboards without a proper decoupling layer. We will happily quote for the layer.
  • Finishing a wet room someone else waterproofed. If we didn't lay the membrane, we can't stand behind the shower.
  • Swimming pools, the hot side benches of saunas, and outdoor terraces that see frost.
  • Plumbing and electrics. We tell you exactly when your plumber or electrician needs to be there.
  • Selling you tiles at a markup, or choosing them without you seeing a sample in daylight.
  • Jobs under €350.

Ask before you buy the tiles

A laundry corner, a step, a strange alcove. Send the dimensions and two daylight photos and we'll say yes or no within two working days.
