Tilers in London, answered
How much does it cost to tile a bathroom in London?
A full bathroom retile in London (walls and floor combined, mid-range tiles supplied, standard adhesive and grout) costs £2,800 to £5,500. The biggest variable is the tile choice: porcelain costs more than ceramic, large-format and mosaic both raise the labour rate, and natural stone requires sealing. Labour-only rates run £30 to £55 per square metre depending on tile type.
How long does a bathroom retile take?
A typical London bathroom (around 4 to 6 square metres of wall plus 3 square metres of floor) takes 3 to 5 working days. The schedule is roughly: day one to remove old tiles and prep, day two to two-and-a-half to lay the floor and let it set, days three to four for wall tiles, and a final visit to grout, silicone, and finish. Bathrooms are unavailable for the duration.
Do tilers also do the waterproofing?
Most do for shower areas and wet rooms. A proper tanking system (waterproof membrane) is essential behind any tiled shower enclosure and beneath any wet-room floor; the tiler applies the membrane before tiling. For full wet rooms with linear drains, confirm at booking that the tiler is experienced with the specific membrane system you want to use.
How do I work out how many tiles to order?
Measure the area in square metres (length × height for walls, length × width for floors) and add a 10% allowance for cuts and breakages. For mosaics and herringbone patterns add 15%. For natural stone add 20% because variation requires more rejection. Most Loacally tilers will help confirm your order before you buy.
Can I tile over existing tiles?
Usually yes if the existing tiles are well bonded, level, and clean. A grit primer (usually SBR-based) ensures the new tiles bond properly. It saves time and skip costs, but adds about 6mm to the wall thickness, which can affect skirting, plug sockets, and window reveals. Confirm with the tiler before deciding.
How long does new grout take to set?
Grout is touch-dry in 2 to 3 hours and ready for light foot traffic on floors after 24 hours. Avoid heavy washing or wet cleaning for 7 days to let the grout fully cure. Silicone sealant cures in 24 hours but full water exposure (a shower) should wait 48 hours.
