Tiling Prices in Edinburgh

Tiling in Edinburgh starts from £15. Floor tiling averages £48 per sqm. Prices include VAT. Labour only unless noted — tiles supplied separately.

Porcelain tiles are the most versatile choice for Edinburgh homes — durable, water-resistant, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Ceramic tiles work well for indoor walls and light-traffic floors at a lower cost. For outdoor areas, ensure tiles have appropriate slip and frost ratings for local conditions.

Yes — waterproofing is required under tiles in all wet areas (bathrooms, showers, laundries). A waterproofing membrane must be applied and often inspected before tiling begins. Budget £20–£50 per sqm for waterproofing.

Seal grout after installation and re-seal every 1–2 years in wet areas. Clean with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid bleach or acidic products. Replace cracked or crumbling grout promptly to prevent water damage behind tiles. Epoxy grout is a more durable (but pricier) alternative to cement grout.
