These figures are indicative ranges only — published to help you budget, not as a quote. Actual tiler costs in Victoria depend on the job, materials, access and timing. Always get written quotes from a few licensed tilers before you commit.
Most quote a fixed price per job or per square metre once they've assessed the work. Some charge $55–$100/hour for smaller tasks. Always confirm what's included before accepting a quote.
No. Most tilers add 10% GST on top of their quoted price. Check with your tradie whether the figure they give you is GST-inclusive or exclusive.
Provide clear photos, measurements and details of existing surfaces. Invite 2–3 tilers to visit and quote. Mention if you've chosen materials already, as that affects labour cost.
Victoria's building standards mean any structural or wet-area tiling should be done by a licensed tradesperson. Check your tiler's credentials on the Victorian Building Authority website before hiring.
Most quotes are competitive. You can ask if they offer discounts for larger projects or off-peak scheduling, but don't push experienced tilers below market rates—quality work is worth the cost.
