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.

Plymouth tiling and refurbishment context
Tiling may be finish work, but wider bathroom and kitchen alterations can fall under Building Regulations
Plymouth Building Control says alterations must comply with the Building Regulations where the regulated requirements apply. The council also lists bathrooms, sanitary ware, electrical work, heating systems and windows among work that can sometimes be certified through competent-person schemes.
Check the wider room alteration before covering services and backgrounds
Plymouth City Council explains that building work involving alterations can require Building Regulations compliance, covering areas such as structure, fire safety, drainage, ventilation and electrical safety. If tiling forms part of a wider bathroom or kitchen project, establish who is responsible for each regulated element before it is concealed.

Some related installations can be self-certified by registered competent persons
The council's competent-person guidance includes electrical work associated with kitchens, plumbing and water systems, bathrooms and sanitary ware, heating systems, and replacement windows. For a multi-trade refurbishment, ask which contractor is certifying each regulated part rather than assuming the tiler 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 Plymouth: common questions
Useful answers before you post the job.
How much does tiling cost in Plymouth?
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.
Can related electrical or bathroom work be self-certified?
Some work can be certified through an appropriate competent-person scheme if the installer is registered for that specific work.
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.
