Wall tiling planner

Tiling a splashback, bathroom wall or shower surround? Tell Scopebase the size, tile and pattern, and get the tiles, adhesive, grout and trims to buy, a cost range and a plan.

Example: “Tile a kitchen splashback, about 2.4m wide and 60cm high”

What Scopebase works out

  • Tile area, with extra for cuts depending on the pattern
  • Adhesive, grout, spacers and edge trims
  • Waterproofing for wet areas
  • Working hours and days, with setting time shown separately

What we'll ask you

  • How wide and high is the area to tile, and is any of it left untiled?
  • What size are the tiles, and which pattern?
  • What are you tiling onto?
  • Is it a wet area, like a shower or bath surround?
  • Which tile quality would you like?

Safety notes in your plan

  • Wet areas: waterproofing is critical
  • Tiling over old tiles needs extra checks
  • Check for hidden pipes and cables before drilling
