Tiling Professional in Haarlem

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
