Use the form below for a repair or renovation quote.
Ask for tiling to be quoted per measured square metre, with removal, screed repairs and waterproofing as separate lines; the Benoni guide itemises them that way.

Arithmetic examples on Guide ER-T: a 6 m² bathroom floor at R180 to R320 per m² is R1,080 to R1,920 in labour; 18 m² of bathroom walls at R220 to R380 per m² is R3,960 to R6,840 in labour.
Shower Tiling: What Sits Under the Tiles
A shower tiling quote has more lines than a floor. Ask for each to be priced:
- Removal. Old tiles off, at R80 to R150 per m² (Guide ER-T).
- Screed. The shower floor's fall to the drain.
- Waterproofing. R2,000 to R4,500 per shower (Guide ER-T), or R150 to R300 per m² for wet areas (Guide B3).
- Tiling. Wall labour at R220 to R380 per m² (Guide ER-T), plus the floor.
- Grout and sealant. Grout, and flexible sealant at corners and at the tray or bath.
Section 57(7) of the City's Water Services By-law forbids installing a tap where a leak cannot readily be detected and repaired. Shower mixers and stop taps are set so the tiling leaves them reachable.
Tile Types and Where They Suit
| Tile | Price (guide) |
|---|---|
| Ceramic | R230–R500 per m² supplied and fitted (B3, national 2026) |
| Porcelain | R380–R800 per m² supplied and fitted (B3) |
| Large-format, mosaic and outdoor work | labour priced higher than standard floor and wall rates (ER-T) |
| Natural stone | tiles cost more than ceramic and porcelain (ER-T) |
Floor and Wall Tiling Beyond the Bathroom
- Floors. Lounges, passages and kitchens in porcelain or ceramic.
- Walls. Kitchen splashbacks, laundry walls and feature walls.
- Retiling. Cracked or lifting tiles replaced, or a full strip and retile where the bond has failed.
Tiles that lift or sound hollow near a shower or bath can be a sign of water getting under them. Ask for the cause to be checked before retiling: see leak detection on the East Rand.

Do large-format, mosaic or outdoor tiles cost more to lay?
Yes. The Benoni tiler guide says large-format, mosaic and outdoor work is priced higher than its standard floor and wall labour rates (Guide ER-T).
