Find Trusted Tilers Near You

Floor tiling costs $45–$120 per square metre for labour only. Simple ceramic tiles are at the lower end; large-format porcelain or natural stone at the higher end. A full bathroom tiling job costs $3,000–$8,000 including waterproofing.

Some tilers are also licensed waterproofers; others subcontract the waterproofing. Waterproofing to AS 3740 is mandatory in wet areas (shower recesses, bath surrounds) and must be done before tiling. Always confirm the waterproofing is included and ask for a membrane warranty.

A standard bathroom tiling job takes 3–5 days — 1 day for waterproofing, 1 day drying/curing, and 2–3 days for tiling. Large format tiles or complex patterns take longer. Grouting is done last and needs 24–48 hours before the shower can be used.
