Tiling Cost in Ireland 2026 — Material, Labour, and What Affects the Price

Tiling in Ireland 2026: material €15–€120/m², labour €30–€50/m². Total €45–€170/m² installed. Format drives the price: standard ceramic 200×200 mm is the cheapest; large-format 600×600 mm and 1200×600 mm are more expensive to lay (slower, more preparation, more waste). Material also drives the price: ceramic €15–€60/m², porcelain €30–€80/m², natural stone (marble, travertine, slate) €60–€200/m². Most Irish self-builds use porcelain for floors (durable, low maintenance) and ceramic for walls (cheaper, easier to cut). Don't forget: substrate preparation (a flat, level floor or wall), adhesive, grout, and sealant. All affect the final price.
