FAQ
Delhi tiler pricing questions, answered
Common questions about tiler pricing in Delhi, with answers framed for tradies pricing their own work.
Installation labour: Rs 35-Rs 90 per sqft standard residential (Karol Bagh 110005, Saket 110017, Dwarka 110075, Rohini 110085); Rs 120-Rs 350 per sqft premium South Delhi (Vasant Vihar 110057, Defence Colony 110024, Greater Kailash 110048, Hauz Khas 110016) for imported large-format porcelain; Rs 150-Rs 350 per sqft for LBZ Italian marble. State BIS adhesive (IS 15477) and tile (IS 15622) on every quote.
Rs 1,50,000-Rs 4,50,000 for a 35-50sqft Vasant Vihar/Defence Colony bathroom with imported large-format Italian porcelain (600x1200mm or larger). Includes waterproofing (Rs 65-Rs 180 per sqft), tile material (Rs 350-Rs 1,800 per sqft for imports), installation (Rs 120-Rs 350 per sqft), and chemical-set adhesive. Add GST 18% and DJB NOC if any plumbing work.
Yes, niche premium revenue. LBZ (110011) and Sundar Nagar (110003) bungalow restoration uses Italian marble (Statuario, Calacatta, Carrara), Indian marble (Makrana, Rajnagar), or matched-sandstone (Dholpur, Agra red) for heritage replacement. Quote Rs 80-Rs 1,200 per sqft material plus installation. INTACH oversight on LBZ. State source quarry on the quote.
Yes, always. Delhi monsoon humidity and seasonal seepage drive demand for proper bathroom waterproofing under tile: cement-based crystalline (Penetron, Xypex), polymer-modified (Dr Fixit Bathseal, Sika TopSeal) at Rs 65-Rs 180 per sqft as separate line. Quote chemical-set adhesive (Pidilite Roff, Fevicol, Laticrete) at Rs 35-Rs 120 per sqft. State NBC 2016 Part 9 compliance on the quote.
Italian (Marca Corona, Coem, Marazzi, Casalgrande Padana), Spanish (Porcelanosa, Apavisa), Turkish, Portuguese premium porcelain imports: 6-12 weeks to Delhi via Mumbai port. Customs duty 10-15% applies. Domestic (Kajaria, Somany, Asian Granito, Nitco, RAK): 2-4 weeks. State lead-time on the contract; LBZ and Vasant Vihar clients accept long lead times for premium imports.
Hourly rates are ₹1,400 to ₹2,500 in the US, £28-65 in the UK, A₹1,500-110 in Australia, R180-500 in South Africa, and C₹1,400-95 in Canada. Most tilers prefer fixed-price per square metre because it is more transparent and forces a clear scope conversation.
A standard 6-7sqm bathroom (walls + floor + shower) takes 5-7 working days from strip-out to grouting, plus 24-48 hours for waterproofing membrane cure and another 24 hours before the room can be used. Larger or pattern-heavy bathrooms run 7-10 days.
You can, and many customers do for design control. Just confirm with the tiler 1-2 weeks before start so the tile arrives on site in time and the colour matches across boxes. Customer-supplied tile usually voids tile-failure warranties; workmanship warranty stays.
For jobs over ₹56,000, get 2-3 quotes. Compare tile brand, waterproofing inclusion, substrate prep, pattern and edge detail. The cheapest quote often skips waterproofing or substrate prep, leading to failure within 3 years.
Ceramic is the cheapest and softest; OK for walls, marginal for floors. Porcelain is denser, harder, and frost-proof; the best all-rounder. Natural stone (marble, travertine, slate) is premium-priced, beautiful, and needs sealing before and after grouting.
