Kitchen Tiling
Kitchen tiling combines practical waterproofing with aesthetic impact. Splashbacks behind hobs and sinks are the most common kitchen tiling jobs, but full wall tiling, floor tiling and feature tile panels are increasingly popular in kitchen refurbishments.
Kitchen tile installation requires careful preparation — plasterboard walls often need moisture-resistant board behind tiles, and floor tiles need a flat, load-bearing substrate. Getting 3 quotes from experienced tilers gives you both competitive pricing and professional advice on materials.
What affects the cost of Kitchen Tiling?
Prices vary between professionals depending on several factors. Getting 3 quotes gives you a clear picture of the market rate for your specific job.
- Kitchen size — more units, worktops, and appliances means more fitting time and materials.
- Materials and finish — solid wood or handleless cabinets cost significantly more than standard flat-pack.
- Plumbing and electrics — moving the sink, adding an island, or rewiring adds specialist costs.
- Appliances — whether appliances are supplied and installed as part of the quote affects the total.
- Existing condition — stripping out a solid old kitchen or dealing with hidden issues adds labour time.
