What a tiler does
Tilers cut tiles to fit around pipes, corners and edges, and keep the lines straight across a whole room.
Jobs people often ask tilers to do:
- Tiling a bathroom or shower room
- Tiling a hallway or kitchen floor
- Wet room waterproofing and tiling
- Laying outdoor patio tiles
- Replacing cracked tiles
Before you book a tiler
- Order about ten per cent extra tiles for cuts and breakages, and keep a few spares for later repairs.
- Large porcelain tiles need a very flat surface. Ask about levelling and the right adhesive.
- Corners and the joint where the wall meets the bath should be flexible sealant, not hard grout.
- Ask who removes old tiles, and what is behind them. Old walls sometimes need repair first.
