Separate tile laying from surface preparation
A quote can look cheap if it assumes the wall or floor is already ready for tiles. Ask what preparation has actually been included.
- Give the approximate square metres and tile dimensions.
- Say whether old tiles or flooring need removing.
- Mention uneven, damp or damaged surfaces before quoting.
- Agree trims, grout colour, sealant, pattern and waterproofing details.

Cardiff tiling and refurbishment context
The tile finish may be simple, but the wider room alteration can fall under Welsh Building Regulations
Cardiff Building Control explains that regulated work includes material alterations and changes to controlled services or fittings. A tiling job inside a bathroom or kitchen refurbishment should therefore be scoped alongside any regulated plumbing, drainage, electrical or structural work.
Check the wider room alteration before surfaces are closed up
Cardiff Council says Building Regulations approval can be required when a building is materially altered or a controlled service or fitting is extended or altered, including installing a WC. If tiling is part of a bathroom, kitchen or utility-room project, establish who is responsible for the regulated elements before finishes cover them.
Source: Cardiff Council — when Building Regulations approval is needed
Planning permission and Building Regulations are separate approvals
Cardiff Council emphasises that planning permission and Building Regulations approval are different. A refurbishment can require one, both or neither depending on the work. For multi-trade tiling projects, ask who has checked each route rather than assuming one approval covers everything.

Show the substrate before asking for a fixed price
Large-format porcelain on a prepared wall is a different job from cracked floors, old adhesive, tanking or uneven backgrounds. Photos help expose preparation before quoting.
Preparation can cost as much as the finish. Ask what levelling, boarding, priming, tanking, trims, grout and removal of old finishes are included rather than comparing only a laying rate.

Before you hire
What should you check before hiring a tiler?
Good tiling depends on preparation, layout and movement control as much as neat grout lines.
Check the substrate
Ask how the existing wall or floor will be made flat, stable and suitable for the chosen tile.
Agree wet-area preparation
For showers and other wet zones, clarify waterproofing and sealing before tiles are installed.
Confirm the visual details
Set out grout width, pattern, trims, cuts and alignment before the first tile is fixed.
Questions
Tilers in Cardiff: common questions
Useful answers before you post the job.
How much does tiling cost in Cardiff?
The price depends on tile material and size, pattern, surface condition, preparation and access. Compare quotes for the same preparation and finish.
Does ordinary tiling need Building Regulations approval?
Usually the tile finish itself is not the regulated issue, but a wider bathroom or kitchen project can include controlled drainage, electrical, ventilation or structural work.
Is planning permission the same as Building Regulations approval?
No. Cardiff Council treats them as separate systems and some projects can need both.
Can I post a small splashback job?
Yes. Small splashbacks and repairs can be posted alongside complete bathrooms, floors and larger tiling projects.
Do I have to hire a tiler who responds?
No. Up to three interested local professionals can respond and there is no obligation to hire.
