Tile a Bathroom Floor | |
A tile installer will charge $370 to lay 50 square feet of standard glazed ceramic floor tile in thin-set organic mastic over a sound subfloor. You can buy the material for $110 and save 70 percent by doing it yourself. Rent or borrow a tile cutter, snippers and trowel from the tile store and expect to spend a good day's work laying the tile. Before the work begins, spend time planning the layout of the tiles. The most important factor in a successful floor tile job is a "sound subfloor" because a smooth and even base assures a long-lasting installation. Spend the extra time and money to repair the subfloor if that's needed. |
