Post your tiling professional jobWhat Does a Tiling Professional Cost?
A tiling professional is a tradesperson who specialises in placing wall and floor tiles — in bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and other rooms. When you need tiles professionally installed, the cost depends on the area in m², the type and format of tiles, surface preparation, and the complexity of cuts around fixtures. Most professionals quote a price per square metre, though hourly rates — typically around €40 per hour and up to €50 per hour for experienced specialists — are common for smaller or complex jobs. Wall tiling in a bathroom costs more per m² than straightforward floor tiling because of waterproofing and vertical work. To get a picture of the costs for tiling your space, ask for a detailed written quote that separates labour, preparation, grouting, and old tile removal. A good specialist provides this after an on-site measurement — not a rough phone estimate.
What Tiling Work Involves — From Preparation to Grouting
Professional tiling starts with surface preparation. The specialist inspects walls and floors, checks levelness and moisture, and applies a waterproof membrane in wet areas such as showers. If old tiles need to come off, they are stripped, debris removed, and the surface repaired. Next comes the actual tiling: measuring the layout, cutting tiles to size, and placing them with correct spacing. Wall tiles go bottom-up, floor tiles typically from the centre outward. Cuts around door frames, pipes, sinks, and toilets require precision tools. After the adhesive has cured, joints are grouted and silicone applied at transitions. The process for a standard bathroom takes three to five days. An experienced professional works methodically for straight lines, even joints, and a waterproof finish that lasts. Whether you hire someone locally or look for a tiling company in Amsterdam, the process is the same — quality depends on craftsmanship and proper preparation.
Finding the Best Tiler in Amsterdam and Beyond
Finding the right professional starts with comparing verified profiles and requesting quotes from multiple specialists. The best tiler for your project has experience with the type of work you need — bathroom wall tiling, kitchen backsplash, floor tiles, or a combination. Ask each specialist for a quote per m² that separates labour, surface preparation, removal, and finishing. Confirm KVK registration and workmanship warranty — most professionals guarantee their work for at least one year. Check reviews from homeowners who had tiling done and look for consistent quality. On SkilledContractors you can compare profiles of tilers in Amsterdam and throughout the Netherlands, read reviews, and request quotes — so you find a professional who delivers clean, lasting work at a fair price.

How much does a tiler cost in Amsterdam?
A tiler in Amsterdam typically charges per square metre or per hour. Costs depend on the type of tiling — wall or floor — the tile format, surface preparation needed, and cut complexity. Bathroom tiling costs more per m² than a simple floor due to waterproofing and cuts around fixtures. Request a detailed quote separating labour, preparation, grouting, and tile removal to compare fairly.
What factors determine the price of a tiler?
The main price factors are: area in m², type of tiles (ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, mosaic), tile format, surface condition (levelling, waterproofing, old tile removal), complexity (cuts around fixtures, patterns), and whether you supply materials yourself. Some specialists include grouting and silicone, others charge separately. Always request an itemised breakdown.
How long does tiling take?
A standard bathroom — walls and floor — takes three to five days including preparation, tiling, grouting, and finishing. A kitchen backsplash takes one to two days. A larger floor area like a living room takes two to four days. The timeline depends on area, tile format, cut complexity, and whether old tiles need removal first.
Do I need to buy the tiles myself?
That depends on the professional. Some only handle installation and expect you to supply tiles, adhesive, and grout. Others offer a full service — advising, purchasing, and installing. If you buy tiles yourself, ask how many m² to order including 5-10% cut waste. Confirm whether the price covers materials or labour only so you can compare fairly.
Can I tile over existing tiles?
In some cases yes — if existing tiles are firm, level, and in good condition, new tiles can go over them using special primer and flexible adhesive. This saves time and cost. However, it adds thickness that may affect door clearances and fixture alignment. In wet areas, proper waterproofing underneath is essential. A professional inspects the surface and advises whether tiling over or removing first is better for your situation.
What is the difference between quoting per m² and per hour?
A quote per m² gives a fixed price based on tiled area — easy to compare and predictable. A quote per hour means you pay for actual time, which can be cheaper for small jobs but less predictable for complex projects. Most professionals prefer quoting per m² for standard work. For custom mosaic patterns or irregular surfaces, hourly rates are more common. Ask which method applies and whether grouting and cleanup are included.
How do I find the best tiler in Amsterdam?
Compare verified profiles on SkilledContractors and request quotes from multiple tiling specialists in Amsterdam. Look for experience with the type of tiling you need, check reviews, and ask for photos of previous work.
