Factors that affect the cost of floor tiling
A professional floor tiler takes various factors into account when providing an estimate. When it comes to labour costs, the amount of prep work and the difficulty of the job are usually considered. For instance, installing new floor tiles is cheaper than replacing old ones. This is because more work is required to remove the old tiles before laying the new ones.
There are also various types of tiles to choose from, and the materials and supplies used will affect the overall cost of a floor tiling job. If you are working on a budget, it is best to narrow down your choices so that you can have a better idea of how much you’ll need to spend for the materials alone.

In addition to that, remember that most tilers charge per square metre so make sure you know the exact measurement of your floor area. Tilers will be able to give you a more accurate quote when they are provided with the measurements, and they can also help calculate how much materials will be needed to finish the job.
