Ceramic tiles are a widely used building material for walls, floors and decorative finishes. Today there are many different tiles to choose from, so it is important to select products that are suitable for the area where they will be installed. Tiles can be used in bathrooms, kitchens, living spaces, patios and balconies, depending on the product and its intended use.
Before tiling, remove any damaged tiles, loose adhesive and other debris from the surface. Make sure the wall is clean, dry and suitable for tiling before applying adhesive. Depending on the wall surface and tile adhesive being used, a suitable primer may also be required.
Apply the adhesive according to the manufacturer's instructions and position the tiles using spacers to create even grout joints. Once the adhesive has cured, apply the grout and remove any excess from the tile surface. Silicone sealant may also be required around areas such as baths, sinks and showers.
Water getting behind tiles can cause damage, so keep sealant and grout in suitable condition and deal with any cracks or loose tiles promptly. Bathrooms should also have suitable ventilation to help manage moisture. Natural stone and some other porous tiles may require sealing, so check the manufacturer's care instructions for the particular product.
For smaller tiling jobs, tilers may charge a daily rate or provide a fixed price for the project. Quotes may include adhesive and grout but not the tiles themselves, so check exactly what is included before agreeing to the work.
As a rough guide, tiling a small room such as a bathroom may cost around £600. Kitchen wall tiling between the worktop and wall cabinets may cost around £180 for an 8-foot section, although prices will vary depending on the tiles, preparation work and complexity of the layout.

When choosing a tradesperson to tile your walls, you can start by asking friends or family whether they have used someone for similar work. You can also use the free quote service on this website and check customer reviews where available.
Compare several written quotes and ask what preparation, materials and finishing work are included. You can also request references or examples of previous tiling work and check that suitable liability insurance is in place.
It may also be worth checking whether the tiler belongs to a relevant trade organisation and what membership requirements apply.
