Large-format stone-look floor tiles in a warm, open-plan Adelaide living area

A tiled floor is one of the hardest-working surfaces in your home, so the person who lays it matters as much as the tile you choose. A good floor tiler gets the preparation, falls and setting-out right, and the result lasts for decades. A poor one leaves you with lippage, drummy tiles and cracked grout within a year.

Tilers Adelaide connects you with vetted, licensed local floor tilers who do it properly. Tell us about your floor and we will match you with trusted Adelaide tilers who cover your area, then you compare free, no-obligation quotes and choose.

We are a referral service, not a tiling contractor. That means our only job is finding you a floor tiler you can trust, and making it easy to compare a few quotes side by side.

Living areas and hallways

Durable porcelain and ceramic floors for the busiest parts of the home, laid flat and true.

Large-format floors

600mm and larger tiles that need a level substrate and a skilled hand to lay without lippage.

The look of floorboards with the toughness of porcelain, ideal for wet and high-traffic areas.

Floor prep and levelling

Self-levelling and screeding so your finished floor is flat, which matters most for large tiles.

Tile removal

Your job

What kind of tiling job is it?

No obligation. Your details go to vetted Adelaide tilers only.

Getting the floor preparation right

Most floor tiling problems start underneath the tiles, not on top. If the substrate is not clean, sound and level, no amount of good tiling will save the finish. This is exactly where cheap operators cut corners and where the tilers we refer earn their keep.

A level floor matters more the bigger your tiles are. Large-format tiles show every dip and hump as lippage, where one tile edge sits proud of the next. That is why a good tiler will check the floor with a straightedge and level it before a single tile goes down.

  • Checking the floor for falls, dips and movement before quoting
  • Self-levelling compound or screed where the substrate is out
  • Priming and the right adhesive for the tile and the surface
  • Movement joints so seasonal shifts do not crack the floor

Choosing the right floor tile

The best floor tile depends on where it is going. Porcelain is denser and harder than ceramic, which makes it the go-to for busy Adelaide households, wet areas and anywhere that takes a hammering. Ceramic can be a fine, more affordable choice for lower-traffic rooms.

Slip resistance matters too, especially in kitchens, laundries and entryways that get wet. A good tiler will talk you through the practical trade-offs, but the tilers we refer are there to lay the floor, so you stay in control of the tile choice.

Why compare quotes for floor tiling

Floor tiling is usually priced per square metre laid, plus extras for removal, levelling and waste. Two quotes for the same floor can differ by thousands, and the cheapest is often the one that skips the prep you cannot see.

Comparing a few quotes lets you spot the outliers and understand what you are really paying for. We make that easy by matching you with vetted tilers who quote on the same job, so you are comparing like with like.

What will it cost?

Standard floor tiling in Adelaide typically runs about $45 to $75 per m2 laid, with large-format and natural stone higher. See the full cost guide or try the calculator for an indicative estimate.

Frequently asked questions

How much does floor tiling cost in Adelaide?
As a guide, standard porcelain or ceramic floor tiling runs about $45 to $75 per m2 laid. Large-format tiles that need levelling, and natural stone, sit higher at $70 to $160 per m2. Removal of old tiles and floor levelling are usually extra. Compare a few quotes for your exact floor.
Can you tile over existing floor tiles?
Sometimes. If the existing tiles are sound, well bonded and the extra height is not a problem, a tiler may be able to tile over them with the right primer and adhesive. Often, though, removing the old tiles gives a better, longer-lasting result. A vetted tiler will assess it and advise.
Do I need to level the floor before tiling?
If the floor is not flat, yes, especially for large-format tiles. Levelling avoids lippage and hollow, drummy tiles later. A good tiler checks the floor with a straightedge and quotes levelling where it is needed rather than tiling over a bad substrate.
How long does floor tiling take?
A typical room takes a few days once prep is done: a day or so to lay, then time for the adhesive and grout to cure before you walk on it. Larger areas, levelling and complex layouts add time. Your tiler will give you a realistic timeline in their quote.
Are the floor tilers licensed and insured?
Yes. We only refer floor tilers who are appropriately licensed for the work and carry insurance, so your job and your home are covered.
