Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry Re: Floor Tiling - new and old tiles 5Dec 14, 2010 3:30 pm Tiling really isn't thhhatttt expensive for the mucking around in avoiding doing it. Depending on the product used to glue the tiles down getting them up in one piece will be tricky to say the least, add to that the complication of having to eithe rrip out the grout and regrout or be faced with miss matched grout it all sounds to hard. Guessing by the time you find all the bits and pieces you want you are going to be up for something huge like 3 days and probably still burn more cash than you are thinking on odds and ends. Floor tiles can easily be had for $20 m^2 and laying at $40 m^2 (please note you can get it cheaper than that on both counts). So by the sounds of it the room is small at maybe 1.5 x 2.5 so ~ 4m^2 all up $250 ish, even allowing a 'small job tax' a tradie might charge i can't see it being more than $400. If you want to play DIY floor tiling on a decent flat floor isn't brain surgery for a standard job and you can probably get away easily for under $200 including glues/etc... maybe allow 60 for a cheap cutter and a grinder. Even for a first time you should be able to knock it over 1 day start to finish including removing the old tiles.
