What does a tiler do?
Wall and floor tiling for bathrooms and kitchens by vetted, insured tilers. Waterproofing, grout, and finish to spec.
Tilers fit ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and large-format tiles to walls and floors — bathroom tiling, kitchen splashbacks, hallway floors, and increasingly outdoor patios with porcelain paving. Wall and floor tiling work splits between waterproofing prep (especially in wetrooms and shower areas), substrate prep (levelling, primer), tile cutting and laying, grouting, and silicone sealing. Quality tiling is mostly about prep — dead-flat substrates, correct adhesives, and patient grouting deliver finishes that stay tight for decades.
Irish tilers are increasingly working with large-format porcelain (600x600mm or larger), which demands specific tools — large notched trowels, lippage levellers, wet saws — and real skill to lay them flat without lippage. Wetroom and shower waterproofing has become more rigorous in recent years, with surface-applied waterproof membranes (Schluter Kerdi, Ardex 8+9) now standard practice. The difference shows over time: cheap tiling that skips proper waterproofing leaks within 2–5 years, while quality jobs last 25+ years. Whether it's a full bathroom retile, a new kitchen floor, or re-grouting tired tilework, the fundamentals are the same — sound substrate, the right adhesive for the tile and setting, and clean, consistent grout lines.

How much does a tiler cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Tiling pricing varies by tile size, format, and how much prep the substrate needs. The figures below are indicative Irish ranges per square metre for fitting only, excluding the cost of the tiles themselves. Larger formats cost more to lay because they demand flatter substrates and specialist tools, and natural stone takes longer to cut and seal. Before any work starts, insist on an itemised quote that separates labour, prep, waterproofing, and materials — on Jobiit, your matched tiler provides a free, no-obligation itemised quote so you can see exactly where the money goes.
Standard ceramic wall tiles (300x600mm) are €40–€65 per m² for fitting only. Porcelain floor tiles (600x600mm) are €55–€85 per m². Large-format porcelain (1200x600mm or larger) is €75–€110 per m². Natural stone is €70–€130 per m² fitting only. Wetroom waterproofing (membrane application before tiling) adds €18–€30 per m². A typical bathroom (15m² of tile total) is €1,200–€2,400 in tiling labour plus tile cost. Re-grouting an existing bathroom is €350–€650. Treat these as guide figures — awkward layouts, patterned designs like herringbone, and poor existing substrates all push labour up.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Tiler FAQs
How long should tiling take in a bathroom?
A standard bathroom (around 15m² of tiled surface) takes a tiler 4–6 days from start to finish: 1 day prep and substrate, 2–3 days tiling walls and floor, 1 day grouting, 1 day silicone sealing. Add a day or two for wetroom membranes or natural stone work. Larger formats and patterned designs (herringbone, large slabs) take longer. The plumber and electrician usually need to revisit after tiling for final fittings.
Why does my grout keep cracking?
Substrate movement — tiles laid on flexing or shifting subfloor (timber joist floors without proper backerboard), or onto fresh screed that hasn't fully cured. Once cracking starts, regrouting is a temporary fix unless you address the substrate. For timber-joisted floors, fitting plywood or cement backerboard and using flexible adhesive and grout prevents recurrence. Wide grout lines are also more crack-prone than narrow.
Can I tile over old tiles?
Yes, with prep. The old tiles must be sound (no hollow ones, no movement), cleaned, lightly abraded, and treated with a tile-on-tile primer. Adhesive is then applied and new tiles set. Issues to watch: door clearance (extra tile thickness raises the floor), increased weight on the substrate, and the original problem that motivated the new tiling (was the old tile delaminating? bare grout? tile-over may not solve the underlying cause).
Porcelain or ceramic — which is better?
Porcelain is denser, harder, less porous, and more durable — better for floors, wetrooms, and outdoor use. Ceramic is softer, easier to cut, and cheaper — fine for walls and lower-traffic areas. The price gap is usually €5–€15 per m² in materials. For floors and bathrooms where they get wet, porcelain is recommended. For splashbacks and feature walls, ceramic gives more decorative range.
Is wetroom waterproofing necessary?
Yes, in any space with a level access shower or open-format wet area. Surface-applied membranes (Schluter Kerdi, Ardex 8+9, BAL Tank-It) create a fully waterproof envelope before tiling. Cost is €300–€700 extra per shower area. The cost of a leak years later — water-damaged ceiling below, joist rot, tile lift-up to find the leak — is 10–30x what the membrane cost up front.
Will my details be passed around to multiple tilers?
No. Jobiit isn't a bidding marketplace where dozens of businesses compete for your details. When you post a tiling job, it's matched to one vetted local tiler — closest and best-rated first — who sends a free, no-obligation itemised quote, most within a few hours. All messaging happens in-app, every trader is ID-verified through Stripe Identity, and all hold valid public liability insurance.
