Professional Tile Estimating Services Across the UK
Our tile estimating services help tiling contractors, builders, developers and subcontractors price tiling work accurately. We prepare detailed estimates for residential, commercial and hospitality projects, from a single bathroom to hotels, retail units and apartment schemes.
Each estimate breaks down wall and floor tiling, adhesives, grout, trims and waterproofing line by line, so you can submit competitive quotes with confidence.
What a Tile Estimate Includes
- Tiled areas: walls and floors measured in square metres, by tile type and room.
- Material schedules: tiles, adhesives, grout and trims, with a waste allowance.
- Preparation and waterproofing: tanking, backer boards and primers.
- Labour: labour for preparation and tiling, by tile size and type.
- Cost breakdown: line-by-line costs with a clear summary.
Tiling Estimates for Contractors

- Save hours of measuring bathrooms, kitchens and floors.
- Quote more tiling jobs without adding to your workload.
- Avoid under-pricing by missing trims, tanking or waste.
- Send your client a clear, room-by-room breakdown.
