Cost Guide
How Much Does a Tiler Cost in Ireland? (2026 Price Guide)
Published 25 January 2026 · WEPRO Renovations
Short answer: WEPRO tiling starts from €34/m². The per-square-metre rate is a genuine entry point, but preparation, tile size and type, layout, cuts, access, waterproofing and movement joints can materially change the total. Ask for a written quote based on the measured surfaces and actual tile specification.
What “from €34/m²” means
It is the minimum tiling rate for a straightforward scope. Substrate repairs, removal, levelling, membranes, waterproofing, complex patterns, specialist tiles and difficult access are assessed for the actual job and recorded in the quote.
What a comparable tiling quote should show
- Measured wall and floor areas
- Removal of existing finishes
- Levelling, priming, boards or membranes
- Waterproofing extent and specified system
- Tile size, material, pattern and edge details
- Adhesive, grout, trims, sealant and movement joints
- Disposal, access and protection
- Whether tiles and consumables are supplied by the client or contractor
What the price depends on
- Tile size & type — large-format and natural stone are slower to set and less forgiving, so they cost more.
- Pattern — herringbone, brick-bond and feature layouts take longer than straight grids.
- Substrate condition — the biggest hidden cost. Floors may need levelling; walls may need boarding or priming.
- Waterproofing — wet areas need tanking before tiling, which is itemised separately.
Why preparation is most of the job
The finished tile only shows part of the work. Levels, moisture, movement, compatible primers and adhesives, waterproofing and curing requirements all need to be assessed. Ask for the substrate preparation and the applicable product and workmanship terms in writing.
Supplying your own tiles
Customer-supplied tiles can be included in the scope, but check slip rating, porosity, calibre, shade, quantity and waste allowance before installation is agreed.

Only after the existing finish, bond, levels, added weight and finished heights are assessed. Removing the old finish may be the safer scope where the substrate cannot be verified.
They can require tighter substrate tolerances, specific adhesives, handling and sealing. The product and substrate specifications should be agreed before installation.
