How Much Does Tiling Cost in Perth? (2025 Guide)

Tiling costs in Perth depend on the size of the area, tile format, complexity of the layout, and whether waterproofing is required. Here's a practical guide to what you should expect to pay.

Perth Tiling Cost Guide 2025

Standard ceramic/porcelain floor tiles (up to 400x400mm): $45-$65 per m² labour only
Large format tiles (600x600mm and above): $65-$110 per m²
Bathroom wall tiling (standard size): $50-$75 per m²

Factors That Affect the Price

Tile size: Larger tiles require more precision and take longer to lay. Pattern/layout: Herringbone, diagonal, and feature patterns cost more than straight lay. Surface prep: If the substrate isn't level, levelling compound adds to the cost. Grout type: Epoxy grout (required for pools) costs more than standard grout.

Getting the Best Value

Buy tiles yourself from a tile supplier and pay for labour separately — this gives you more choice and typically better pricing. Always buy 10–15% extra tiles to allow for cuts and future repairs. Get at least three quotes and check each quote includes the same scope of work.
