Before you hire a tiler
When they join, tradies confirm they hold the licences and insurance their work requires, but we don't independently check those documents at present. We provide the introduction: the business quotes and carries out the work directly, and we don't supervise the work or guarantee the outcome.
- Ask for the relevant NSW licence number.
- Check the licence with NSW Fair Trading.
- Request current insurance details.
- Get the scope, price and timing in writing.
What affects the price
Tiling prices are driven by:
- Tile format. Large-format tiles need a flatter surface and more handling time than standard sizes.
- The surface underneath. Levelling, waterproofing repairs and substrate preparation can be significant, especially in older homes.
- Waste. Irregular shapes and diagonal patterns need more cuts and more spare tiles than a straight lay.
- Wall height. Tiling floor to ceiling takes much longer than tiling part-way.
Ask about any call-out fee before someone visits, and compare written quotes for the same scope of work.

Hiring a tiler in Grantham Farm
Grantham Farm (postcode 2765) is in the northern part of Blacktown City, which includes the North West Growth Area. One of Blacktown City's newest suburbs, with new residential estates in the North West Growth Area.
In a newer home, some faults may be covered by the builder's statutory warranties under the Home Building Act 1989 (NSW): six years for major defects and two years for other defects. Check your builder's paperwork before you book a repair.
In a newer home, tiling jobs often finish what the builder left out: a kitchen splashback, laundry walls, an alfresco area or outdoor paving. If you're replacing the builder's tiles in a bathroom, ask the tiler how they'll check the waterproofing underneath.
For a bathroom retile in Grantham Farm, ask the tiler how they'll check and replace the waterproofing, and how long the room will be out of use. For floors, ask how they'll deal with any cracks or uneven areas in the slab or subfloor.
What to put in your request
Describe the room and the rough area to tile, whether old tiles need removing, and whether it's a wet area that needs waterproofing. Mention if you've already bought tiles, and their size. Don't include your street address in the description.
What to ask before hiring
Ask for a written quote that separates labour, waterproofing, adhesive, grout and tiles. For wet areas, ask which waterproofing system will be used, whether it meets AS 3740, and whether you'll receive a waterproofing certificate.
Licences and rules in NSW
Waterproofing in bathrooms, laundries and other wet areas should meet the Australian Standard AS 3740. Tiling and waterproofing are residential building work in NSW, so jobs over $5,000 (labour and materials, including GST) need a licence.
Tiling upkeep through the year
Check the grout and silicone in showers and around baths for cracks, gaps or mould, and reseal or regrout before water gets behind the tiles. Outside, look for pavers or tiles that rock or have lifted, which can be a trip hazard.
When a business contacts you, it's fine to ask whether they've done similar jobs nearby and when they could start.
