Bathroom Tiling: How much does it cost?

Tiling a bathroom costs on average 95 € per square meter.

The price ranges between 40 and 150 € per square meter.

Bathroom tiles must be particularly slip-resistant and water-repellent. Different materials can be used. Make sure to align the tiles correctly and grout them thoroughly. If you lack experience, professional help is recommended.

Factors affecting tiling costs:

Quality, appearance, and size of the tiles
Size of the bathroom
Qualification and experience of the tiler

Floor tiling costs:

Tiling the floor costs between 55 and 150 €/m².
Costs include surface preparation, tiler labor, and the tiles themselves.

To ensure durability, the subfloor must be even. A professional charges 14–23 € for subfloor inspection.

If the floor needs leveling, the tiler will prime (2–8 €/m²) and fill (8–14 €/m²) the surface.

Tile costs:

Floor tile 10×10 cm	13–48
Floor tile 20×20 cm	16–38
Floor tile 30×30 cm	8–39
Floor tile 30×60 cm	16–23
Floor tile 20×20 cm textured	22–32

Labor costs for floor:

The tiler charges 26–57 €/m² depending on tile size and pattern complexity.

Baseboards are installed afterward. Costs for materials and installation are 8–22 €/m, including sealing with silicone. Travel costs are 10–50 € depending on distance.

Wall tiling costs:

Tiling the bathroom walls costs between 40 and 111 €/m².
Costs include wall preparation, tiler labor, and the tiles.

The wall must be sealed with a “bonding coat” where water may contact the wall, such as near bathtubs, showers, or sinks. Labor and material costs for this are 6–20 €/m².
