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.

Portsmouth tiling context
The wider refurbishment can bring Building Regulations and waste-disposal requirements into an otherwise simple tiling job
Portsmouth Building Control covers damp-proofing, ventilation, drainage, electrical safety and other construction standards. Demolition waste also needs a separate disposal plan when the work goes beyond a cosmetic finish.
Building Regulations can apply to the wider bathroom or kitchen project
Portsmouth City Council says Building Regulations cover construction matters including damp-proofing, ventilation, heating and electrical work. Simple tiling is different from a refurbishment that changes controlled services or construction, so establish the wider scope before surfaces are closed up.
The council's bulky collection does not take tiles or building waste
Portsmouth's bulky waste service excludes building and DIY waste such as rubble, tiles, concrete, bricks and plasterboard. If the tiler is stripping the old finish, agree who will remove the waste and which lawful disposal route is included in the quote.

Show the background before asking for a fixed price
Large-format porcelain over a flat prepared wall is different from mosaics, cracked floors or a bathroom that needs boarding and tanking first. Photos help expose the preparation before quoting.
Preparation changes the quote. Ask what levelling, boarding, priming, tanking, trims, grout and waste removal are included rather than comparing only the laying price.

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 Portsmouth: common questions
Useful answers before you post the job.
How much does tiling cost in Portsmouth?
The price depends on tile size and material, pattern, surface condition, preparation, access and whether old finishes are being removed.
Can I post a small splashback job?
Yes. Small kitchen splashbacks, repairs and replacement tiles can be posted alongside full bathroom and floor-tiling projects.
Does ordinary tiling need Building Regulations approval?
Usually the tile finish itself is not the issue, but a wider project can include regulated drainage, electrical, ventilation or structural work.
Who removes the old tiles?
Agree this before work starts. Portsmouth's council bulky collection does not accept tiles or building rubble.
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.
