How Much Does It Cost to Tile a Bathroom?
Tile a small bathroom floor plus shower surround
DIY range
$500-$1,800
Professional range
$1,800-$6,000
What drives the cost
- Tile material — ceramic vs porcelain vs natural stone
- Waterproofing membrane in wet areas
- Pattern complexity (herringbone, mosaic) increases labour time
- Substrate repair if old tile reveals rot or damage
Bathroom tiling is one of the largest gaps between DIY and professional pricing on this list because waterproofing mistakes are expensive to fix after the fact, so many homeowners choose to pay for the wet-area work specifically.
