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.

Manchester wet-area preparation
Do not tile over a moisture problem without finding the cause
Bathrooms and kitchens create moisture, but staining can also come from leaks or penetrating damp. The underlying cause should be understood before a new finish hides it.
Manchester's damp guidance stresses ventilation around bathing and showering
Manchester City Council says condensation is made worse by poor ventilation, insulation and heating, and advises using extractor fans or opening windows during and after bathing or showering. For a bathroom tiling job, the tiler should know whether ventilation and wet-area preparation are already adequate rather than treating tiles alone as the moisture solution.

Bathroom alterations can also involve Building Regulations
Manchester City Council lists bathrooms among home improvements that will probably need Building Regulation approval, depending on the work. Tiling itself is only one part of a refurbishment, so identify plumbing, ventilation, electrical or structural changes separately before work starts.

Tilers covering Manchester
Tilers may cover Manchester by postcode and project size. Example areas include:
DidsburyChorltonWithingtonFallowfieldRusholmeLevenshulmeGortonAncoats
Photos of the existing surface are valuable
Show cracked plaster, old tiles, timber floors, uneven screed and any staining. Preparation can cost as much attention as laying the new finish.
Tiles are a finish, not a damp repair. If there is an active leak or persistent moisture source, address it before covering the surface with new tiles.

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 Manchester: common questions
Useful answers before you post the job.
How much does tiling cost in Manchester?
MyJobQuote's current UK guidance puts many floor-tiling projects around £400–£1,000 and bathroom tiling around £500–£800, but preparation and tile choice can move the price substantially.
Can a tiler tile over old tiles?
Sometimes, but only when the existing tiles are sound, well bonded, sufficiently flat and the added thickness is acceptable. A site assessment is better than assuming it is suitable.
Should damp be fixed before tiling?
Yes if the damp comes from a leak, penetration or another active defect. Manchester City Council advises fixing the underlying cause of damp rather than just covering the symptoms.
Does a bathroom refit need Building Regulations?
Manchester City Council lists bathrooms among improvements that will probably need Building Regulation approval depending on the scope. Check the actual plumbing, ventilation, electrical and structural work involved.
Do I have to hire a tiler who responds?
No. There is no obligation to hire.
