vs UK average
A tiler working in South West typically charges £200–£340 a day (£25–£43 an hour), ex VAT — right on the UK average. Broadly the national average, with two markets in one: steady town-and-city work, plus coastal renovation demand from second homes and holiday lets that pays a premium in season.
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.

- 02Large-format tiles and stone, which are slower and less forgiving
- 03Wet rooms and tanking, priced for the consequence of failure
- 04Layout complexity — herringbone and patterns over straight runs
