vs UK average
A tiler working in North West typically charges £190–£320 a day (£24–£40 an hour), ex VAT — 6% below the UK average of £270 a day. Manchester and Liverpool regeneration keeps demand steady, and rates in the cities now run noticeably ahead of the wider region — quote city-centre work accordingly.
Tiling is usually quoted per square metre, but complex layouts and large-format porcelain drag the effective day output down, which is why experienced tilers quote from the drawing rather than the floor area alone.
