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.

Solihull tiling and refurbishment context
The tile finish may be simple, but the wider bathroom or kitchen project can require Building Regulations approval
Solihull Council says many common home improvements need Building Regulations approval, including new bathrooms, structural alterations, new electrical installations and certain window or door work. Tiling should therefore be scoped together with the regulated work around it rather than treated as an isolated finish.
New bathrooms and structural changes are specifically listed by Solihull Building Control
The council's homeowner guidance lists new bathrooms, structural alterations and new electrical installations among common improvements that require approval. If tiling forms part of a bathroom conversion, wall removal or major services change, establish who is dealing with Building Control before the surfaces are closed up.

Competent-person work can follow a different certification route
Solihull's guidance says work completed by a member of an appropriate Competent Person Scheme may not need a separate application to the council. On a multi-trade kitchen or bathroom job, ask which installer is responsible for each regulated element and what evidence you will receive on completion.

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.
