What affects the price
- Size of the area. Small rooms cost more per square foot, because set-up, cuts and details don't shrink with the room.
- Tile size and type. Large-format, very small mosaics and natural stone take more time than standard 12×24 porcelain.
- Pattern. Herringbone, chevron, diagonal and book-matched layouts mean more cutting and planning.
- Condition of walls and floor. Uneven floors, out-of-plumb walls or damaged subfloors need correcting before tile.
- Waterproofing scope. A full shower system with niches, a bench and a linear drain is more work than a simple tub surround.
- Demolition. Removing old tile, mortar beds and board, plus disposal.
- Details. Niches, benches, mitred corners, trims and borders.
- Access. Condo elevator bookings, parking and work-hour limits add time.
Why tile quotes vary so much
Two quotes for the same bathroom can be thousands apart. The difference is usually in what's included: preparation, levelling, a real waterproofing membrane, trims and the time spent on layout. A low price often means one of those steps is skipped. Ask every installer exactly which waterproofing system they use and what preparation is included.
