Hiring a tiler in Brisbane: what to check

Licence check. In Queensland, building work valued at more than $3,300 including GST (labour and materials) generally needs a QBCC licence, and some types of work need a licence at any value. Check the licence and its class on the QBCC online licence search.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • Get a written contract for larger jobs, and don’t pay a big deposit up front.
  • Confirm they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.
  • Ask how long the job will take and who will be on site.

Typical jobs

  • Bathroom and ensuite tiling
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Floor tiling (indoor and outdoor)
  • Wall tiling and feature walls
  • Re-grouting and tile repairs

What affects the cost of a tiler in Brisbane?

Every job is different, so prices vary. These are the main things that change what you’ll pay — use them to compare quotes like for like:

  • Area in square metres, and how many cuts and corners there are.
  • Tile type and size: large-format porcelain and natural stone take longer to lay.
  • Preparation: removing old tiles, screeding or levelling floors.
  • Waterproofing in wet areas, which is often a separate trade.
  • Pattern: herringbone and other feature layouts take extra time.
  • Supply: whether you buy the tiles or the tiler supplies them.

Ask two or three local tilers for written, itemised quotes. A site visit usually gives a more accurate price than a phone estimate.

Local tips for Brisbane

  • In humid climates, good ventilation and mould-resistant grout help keep wet areas clean.
  • Wet-area waterproofing should meet Australian Standard AS 3740. Ask who is doing it and whether you will get a waterproofing certificate.

About Brisbane

Brisbane has a subtropical climate with hot, humid summers and a storm season that can bring hail, strong winds and heavy rain. Many suburbs have timber Queenslander homes on stumps alongside newer brick houses and riverside apartments, and some low-lying areas are flood-affected.

Tilers in Brisbane: FAQs

Do tilers need a licence in QLD?

In Queensland, building work valued at more than $3,300 including GST (labour and materials) generally needs a QBCC licence, and some types of work need a licence at any value. Check the licence and its class on the QBCC online licence search.

Who does the waterproofing in a bathroom?

Sometimes the tiler, sometimes a separate waterproofer. Either way it should meet AS 3740 and, depending on your state and the job value, may need its own licence. Ask for a certificate when it is done.

Can new tiles go over old tiles?

Sometimes, if the old tiles are sound, well bonded and the floor height allows it, but in wet areas old tiles usually need to come up so the waterproofing can be replaced. Ask the tiler to explain their recommendation.

How long does a bathroom tiling job take?

It depends on the size, preparation and waterproofing curing times. Ask for a timeline that includes waterproofing, tiling and grouting, and who else (plumber, electrician) needs to be scheduled.
