Compare the preparation as well as the tile laying
Two tiling quotes can look very different when one includes removal, levelling and waterproofing and the other assumes the surface is ready to tile.
- Give the approximate square metres and tile dimensions.
- Say whether old tiles or flooring need removing.
- Describe cracks, uneven surfaces, plasterboard, screed or timber floors.
- Confirm trims, grout, tanking, adhesive and waste removal in the scope.

Birmingham tiling context
Two Birmingham property details worth checking before tiling
Birmingham contains a broad mix of terraces, semis and flats, and wet-room finishes can also be affected by moisture problems. Both points can change the preparation required before a tile is laid.
Birmingham's housing mix means substrates vary widely
Birmingham City Observatory's Census 2021 housing briefing reports 35.6% semi-detached homes, 27.8% terraced homes and 21.0% purpose-built flats or tenements. For a tiler, that mix can mean everything from older solid walls and uneven floors to modern boards and apartment access restrictions, so the existing surface matters as much as the tile choice.
Resolve moisture problems before covering the surface
Birmingham City Council's damp and mould guidance highlights leaks, bathing, cooking and inadequate ventilation as common sources of moisture. In bathrooms and kitchens, tiling over an unresolved damp source can hide rather than solve the underlying problem, so leaks and ventilation should be checked first.

Photos of the existing surface are useful
A tiler can price much more sensibly when they can see the wall or floor condition, corners, pipe penetrations and the tile format rather than receiving only the room dimensions.
Preparation drives the finish. If a wall or floor is not flat, stable and dry enough, extra preparation can be necessary before tiling begins.
How it works
Describe the tiling once, then compare interested tilers
Share the tile type and surface condition early so responses are based on a realistic scope.
Describe the area
Add the postcode, room, approximate square metres, tile type and photos of the current surface.
Hear from suitable tilers
Up to three interested professionals covering Birmingham can respond to the job.
Compare preparation and finish
Check verified reviews and whether each quote includes preparation, materials, trims, grout and disposal.
Before you hire
What should you check before hiring a tiler?
Good tiling depends on what happens beneath the finished surface as well as how straight the grout lines look.
Check substrate preparation
Ask how uneven, cracked, damp or flexible surfaces will be prepared before tiling.
Confirm wet-area protection
For showers and wet areas, clarify the waterproofing or tanking system rather than relying on tiles and grout alone.
Agree finishing details
Confirm layout, grout colour, trims, silicone joints and how visible cuts or edges will be handled.
Questions
Tilers in Birmingham: common questions
Useful answers before you post the job.
How much does a tiler cost in Birmingham?
The final price depends on tile size, material and preparation. Current MyJobQuote guidance puts an 8m² floor at roughly £400–£500, a 12m² floor at £500–£600 and many bathroom tiling jobs around £500–£800.
Should old tiles be removed before I ask for quotes?
Not necessarily. Show the existing surface in photos and tell the tiler what is there. They can advise whether removal is needed or whether the existing substrate can be prepared safely.
Can a tiler tile over damp?
The cause of active damp or leaking should be resolved first. Birmingham City Council's guidance identifies leaks and inadequate ventilation among common moisture sources; covering the symptoms does not remove the cause.
How many Birmingham tilers can respond?
Up to three interested local professionals can respond to the same job, giving you a manageable set of options to compare.
Do I have to hire one of them?
No. Posting is free for homeowners and there is no obligation to hire.
