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.
