Tiler FAQs

How much do tilers charge per square metre?

Are you interested in fitting tiles in your home or office? If yes, then you’d probably want to know the total cost of getting the project over the line. And being fully aware every job is unique, having a cost per square metre to work with will give you a more accurate price estimation for the overall project. 

First and foremost, the cost of a tiler depends on a wide range of factors such as the type of floor tiles and the size of the area. The cheapest of them all is the vinyl tiles which can be easily cut through and waterproof when properly sealed. As a result, making them a better fit for bathroom floors. Other kinds of tiles include ceramic tiles, mosaic tiles, quarry tiles and porcelain tiles. Each of the types have their own unique qualities including the quarry tiles’ durability and the afore-mentioned vinyl tiles’ waterproof qualities.

Having in mind that the major part of your tiles cost largely depends on the size of the area and the type of tile selected, you can then go ahead to contact your preferred tiling professional for an installation quote. The average price of bathroom tiles installation ranges about £20 to £25 per square metre. Meanwhile for a kitchen floor tiling project, the cost should range between £20 to £50 per square metre.

Finding a tiling professional you can rely on to complete your project and deliver a top quality job while also offering a very competitive price can be almost impossible. The professional you use greatly determines the price of your tiling effort, so there’s the need to review various professionals before making a decision.

Are wall tiles best for a kitchen wall

Being one of the most used rooms in a house, the kitchen is a place that must be set up to withstand almost everything thrown at it – from top to bottom. Now when it comes to wall tiles, having them installed on your kitchen walls is probably the best protection you can offer to your kitchen. Want to know why? In this post, we’re going to some of the qualities which makes wall tiles perfect for your kitchen wall. Let’s take a look!

 

  • Durable. One of the reasons why walls tiles are very common part in most kitchens is due to their longevity. Porcelain, ceramic and mosaic tiles are moisture resistant and being fully aware of the gradual destruction that can be caused by water, you’d definitely wouldn’t want to look far beyond wall tiles for your kitchen walls.
  • Stain resistant. From food stains to oil spillage and everything in between, the kitchen is a place that’s prone to all sort of stains and gets dirty pretty quickly. As a result, one of the best ways to combat this is by installing wall tiles which are known to be stain resistant. This will protect your kitchen walls and keep them in top condition for a lengthy period.
  • Temperature and chemical resistant. Tiles are impervious to harsh temperatures and do not deteriorate when exposed to chemical agents.
  • Easy to maintain. There are some wall tiles which are coated with liquid glass which protects them from stains while also making them a lot easier to clean.
  • Diverse and affordable. Wall tiles come in a large array of sizes, colours, textures, styles as well as designs to suit any individual’s preference.
how to fit ceramic wall tiles?

Thanks to its durability, resistance to moisture and stain as well as aesthetic appeal, ceramic tile is a popular material for floor installations. The same qualities that makes it stand out for both kitchen and bathroom floors also makes it a natural choice for walls.

Fitting of ceramic wall tile is a task that requires pre-planning and lots of patience. Generally, it’s usually not that difficult to do but it can be very easy to make mistakes here and there. And because you’ll have to attach a relatively heavy material to vertical surfaces, the project can be somewhat trickier than ceramic floor tile so more care and skill is required here. This can be done by any competent DIYer who is confident and also patient. If you lack any of these attributes, we’d recommend you call in a professional who can guarantee the best results for help. In this article, we’ll take you through the ceramic wall tiles fitting process. Let’s take a look!

✓ Prepare the room. This includes switching off power to electrical outlets, removing decorative wall plates and other accessories on the wall, protecting the surface and taking out the baseboard.

✓ Draw reference lines. Using a chalk line draw a reference line on the wall to be tiled.

✓ Spread the adhesive. Use a notched trowel to spread the tile adhesive

✓ Install the first tile. Use the reference line as a guide to fit the first tile near the centre of the wall, twisting it slightly so its firmly in place. Then check to ensure the tile is level and adjust if you deem fit.

✓ Install all tiles. Following similar technique to install the remaining tiles and use tile spacers to ensure even gaps

✓ Clear out excess adhesive and remove spacers.

✓ Apply grout. Dampen the grout with clean water before the grout application

✓ Caulk the joints. After like 10 days, use silicone sealer to caulk the expansion joints.

How to cut a tile on the wall

Once a tile is glued to a wall, it’s meant to stay there permanently. As a result, if you later decide to remove the wall tile, this process often involves destruction of the tile. However, if you only wish to have a portion of the tile removed, there’s a technique you can incorporate to achieve this goal. Using an angle grinder or rotary tool to cut through the tile enables you to detach the unwanted tile portion from the wanted portion. In other words, you can remove only a section of the tile, while leaving the rest intact and undamaged. So, how do you cut tile on wall? In this post, you’ll discover all you need to cut tile on your wall successfully. Let’s take a look!

 

  • Protect the area. Do this by using plastic sheet taped firmly into place with masking tape to cover doors leading to other areas of the house to prevent dust coming from the cutting process from getting everywhere in the house. You can also cover the vents while also opening the windows to provide ventilation.
  • Make a mark on the cutline you’ll be making using a grease pencil. Then, place masking tape on the tile running along the edge of the marked line.
  • Use a handheld sprayer filled with water to spray the tile surface so as to prevent the dust generated from the cut to spread while also provide lubrication for the cutting blade.
  • Use an angle grinder to cut through the tile.
  • Use a small pry bar positioned in the joints to pry cut pieces from the surface.
  • Remove the dust created using a vacuum and wash the surface with a water dampened rag.
Can you use floor tiles on walls?

Can You Use Floor Tiles On Walls?

Some floor tiles are so lovely you just can’t help but wonder if its safe to be used on the walls as well. If you’re also thinking along the same line, you’re not alone! Several other home and property owners are busy finding answers to this particular question. Now let’s look at the possibilities.

Generally, any tile designed as a floor tile by the tile manufacturer can also be laid on the wall (vertical surfaces) as well as countertops. Due to the fact that the floors are usually subjected to greater use than the walls in terms of foot traffic, the durability required is also considerably greater. Therefore, a floor tile with Abrasion Resistance values ranging from I - V is suitable for wall installation. However, you should take note that exterior wall applications must be different from its interior counterparts and must only be incorporated on tiles that are frost resistant.

There are two other factors that must be taken into consideration before you install a floor tile on your walls which includes the weight of your tiles per m2 as well as the strength of the surface in which the tile is to be installed. If you don’t want your tiles falling off, the combined weight of the tiles with the adhesive and grout should not be more than the maximum weight required per m2 (20kg to 35kg depending on the wall substrates).

Now that you have an idea of the possibilities of installing floor tiles on walls, it must, however, be said that reverse is the case when it comes to installing walls tiles on the floor. Wall tiles are, generally, not suitable to be laid on the floor as they are mostly non-vitreous ( can not withstand excessive impact, abrasion or thaw cycling).

How to remove a tile floor?

How To Remove Tile Floor

Removing old tile can be a very tricky process which require lots of skills and experience to get right, the first time. Here, you’ll learn the best approach to removing your old tile by yourself. During the removal process, be sure to incorporate the necessary tools while also protecting yourself by putting on the recommended safety requirements. These includes a floor scraper, paint scraper, dust mask, handheld chisel, safety glasses, drop sheet as well as leather gloves or top quality riggers.

Tile Removal Process

lBreak The First Tile

• Use a hammer to break the first tile (target the centre of the tile with the hammer).

• To protect yourself from the sharp edges of the broken tile, use a drop sheet to cover the surfaces.

lRemove The First Tile

• With a chisel, remove the broken tile that’s still bonded on the floor.

• Position the chisel on the grout line at the tile’s edge to remove the broken but glued tile.

lBreak Up The Remaining Tiles

• Break up several tiles at once and use the floor scrapper to remove it.

• Ensure that the bonding agent used is pliable to make the job a soft work. If the bonding agent is a bit more permanent in nature, then you might want to consider a dynamite to dislodge the flooring.

lRemove The Mortar

• Hit the mortar with a hammer on a 2 to 3 foot square section to remove it from the underlayment.

• Scrape off the mortar’s broken pieces using a floor scraper

• In the event whereby most of the mortar is not removed, your best bet would be to change the underlayment.

• Bonding agent (adhesive) removal is not the easiest of tasks. To make it a bit simpler, you can softening the adhesive with a heat gun before scraping with the help a wide putty knife.

Tile removal is not only a tedious task, but can also be harmful if adequate care is not taken. If you’re inexperienced or not well trained, we’d recommend you hire the services of a professional to avoid making mistakes and incurring extra costs.
