FAQ
Drogheda tiler pricing questions, answered
Common questions about tiler pricing in Drogheda, with answers framed for tradies pricing their own work.
Per-sqm install (labour only): €40-€80 for standard Drogheda, €70-€120+ for premium coastal (Termonfeckin, Beaulieu, Bettystown A92) and large-format porcelain. Add tile material (€25-€280+/sqm depending on tier).
Strongly recommended. CTAI (Ceramic Tile Association of Ireland) membership and Safe Pass cards are the trust signals. Print on every quote. Premium coastal Termonfeckin, Beaulieu and Bettystown customers expect CTAI-registered tilers.
€3,800-€11,000 for an 8-12sqm coastal bathroom in tile and labour depending on tier. Includes substrate prep, tanking (€28-€60/sqm) with anti-mould additives, tile install (€70-€120/sqm), tile material (€45-€280+/sqm), and grouting. Developer / subdivision rate work €1,800-€4,200 per bathroom.
Yes, always, on bathroom and wet-area jobs. IS EN 14411 and BS 5385 require tanking on wet-area substrates. Quote tanking (€28-€60/sqm with anti-mould additives) as separate line. Schluter Kerdi, Mapei Mapelastic AquaDefense, Ardex 8+9 common spec.
Yes, volume market. Mell, Newfoundwell, outer Bettystown and Drogheda Dublin commuter belt subdivision new-build drive sustained tile volume. Quote per-house bathroom (€1,800-€4,200 tile and labour for 8-10sqm bathroom) at developer portfolio rates with CIRI registration on the main contractor visible.
Hourly rates are €35 to €63 in the US, £28-65 in the UK, A€39-110 in Australia, R180-500 in South Africa, and C€35-95 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 €1,400, 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.
