Pricing a Tiling Job per m²: A Method for Tilers

Price tiling by measuring walls and floors separately, pricing each per m² at your own rate, then listing preparation, tanking, removal and extras as separate lines.

The Tanking Record: Why It Protects You

A tanking record is a dated note of the waterproofing behind a shower or wet room: the system, batch numbers, layers, curing time, any flood test, and photographs of corners, pipes and the drain before tiling.

How to get listed

Send the business name, the town you work from, a phone number, a website if you have one, how far you travel, and the work you take on: wet rooms and tanking, natural stone, large format, underfloor heating, patterns, restoration. If you belong to The Tile Association, are TrustMark registered or are a Schlüter Registered Installer, say so and we will check it against their public directory.

How we decide the order

How recently we checked the listing's public details, then how complete they are: a listing with a phone number, a website and an address sits above one with a phone number alone. Ties go in alphabetical order. A paid check or plan never changes the date or the order. Nothing about position is for sale.

What you get free, and what Premium adds

Claim your listing and homeowners' job cards come to you by email, free: the room, the square metres, the tiles and what has to come up first, before the first call. Premium, £12 a month plus VAT, adds your own price list (so a homeowner sees roughly what their job costs with you), photos of your work, your lead time, and a yearly check by a person on your published details. It does not change your position. Free for everyone: the tanking record and quote sheet.
