The cost to tile a floor in Leeds can vary based on several factors such as tile type, floor size, and labour costs. Here’s an estimated breakdown:

Tile Costs:

Ceramic tiles: £15-£30 per square metre.

Porcelain tiles: £20-£60 per square metre.

Natural stone tiles (e.g., marble, slate): £30-£100+ per square metre.

Labour Costs:

Professional tilers typically charge £30-£50 per square metre for installation, or £175-£250 per day

Additional Costs:

Adhesive and grout: £5-£10 per square metre.

Subfloor preparation (levelling, removal of old flooring): £10-£20 per square metre, depending on the condition of the existing floor.

Total Cost Estimate:

For a medium-sized floor (10-15 square metres), the total cost to tile the floor could range from £600 to £1,800, depending on the materials and labour involved. Larger floors or high-end materials will increase the cost.

Tiling over existing floor tiles can be a good idea in some cases, but there are important factors to consider:

Advantages:

• Saves Time and Effort: You can avoid the hassle of removing old tiles, which can be labor-intensive and costly.
• Less Mess: Skipping the demolition process reduces dust, debris, and disruption.
• Lower Cost: Since you avoid the cost of tile removal, you save on labour.

Disadvantages:

• Height Issues: Adding a new layer of tiles increases floor height, which may cause issues with door clearance, appliances, or transitions between rooms.
• Adhesion Problems: The new tiles need a solid, flat, and clean surface to adhere properly. If the old tiles are loose, cracked, or uneven, they may cause issues with the new layer.
• Weight: Additional tiles add weight to the floor, which could be problematic for some structural setups.
• Long-Term Durability: Tiling over uneven or damaged tiles can lead to problems like cracking or loosening in the future.

When It’s a Good Idea:

• The existing tiles are in good condition, securely bonded, and free of cracks or significant damage.
• The floor height increase won't interfere with doors, cabinets, or appliances.

If these conditions are met, tiling over existing tiles can be an efficient solution. Otherwise, it may be better to remove the old tiles first.
