Tiling cost in Adelaide comes down to a handful of things: how big the area is, the tile you choose, how much prep the surface needs, whether it is a wet area that must be waterproofed, access, and whether old tiles need removing first.

The bands below are typical Adelaide supply-and-lay ranges. They will get you close enough to budget, but the only way to know your real price is to compare quotes from a few vetted local tilers. Use the figures here to spot a quote that is suspiciously cheap or unusually high.

Tiling cost questions

How much does tiling cost per square metre in Adelaide?
As a guide, standard floor tiling runs about $45 to $75 per m2 laid, wall tiling $50 to $85, and large-format or natural stone $70 to $160 depending on the tile and prep. These are indicative supply-and-lay bands, not a quote.
What does a full bathroom tiling job cost?
A full bathroom floor and walls typically lands between $2,500 and $6,500 or more, depending on size, tile choice, waterproofing and how much prep is needed. Comparing a few quotes is the only way to know your real number.
Why do quotes vary so much?
Tilers price differently based on their day rate, the tile you choose, how flat the surface is, access, and whether old tiles need removing. That is exactly why we recommend comparing 3 quotes rather than taking the first one.
Is the cheapest tiling quote the best value?
Not usually. A quote well below the others often means skipped prep, no waterproofing detail or an unlicensed operator. The true cost shows up when the work fails. Look for fair pricing from a licensed, insured tiler, not just the lowest number.
Are these prices a firm quote?
No. Every figure here is an indicative Adelaide range to help you budget. We are a referral service, so the vetted tilers we connect you with provide the actual quotes after seeing your job.
