Best Tilers in Christchurch
We assessed 16 tilers in Christchurch and ranked the top 5 on public rating quality, review volume and how recent the reviews are. The businesses listed below hold 280 Google reviews between them. No business can pay for a place in these rankings. Last updated 17 August 2026. How we rank →
Before you hire
Bathroom and floor tiling faults, lippage, uneven grout lines, and failed waterproofing in wet areas, are obvious once finished and expensive to redo. Ask whether they handle waterproofing themselves or coordinate it, how they deal with an uneven substrate, and whether the quote includes setting out so cuts fall in sensible places. Confirm whether tile supply is included or separate.

Before you hire a tiler in Christchurch
Drawn from 140 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.
What does tiling typically cost in New Zealand? expand_more
Labour alone runs $60 to $150 per square metre for floor tiling, with total costs including materials sitting between $100 and $250 per square metre. Splashbacks and wall tiles tend to sit at the lower end, while complex wet areas, large-format tiles, or mosaic work push costs higher due to more cuts and slower installation.
Substrate preparation, such as levelling an uneven floor or fixing damaged board, adds cost and is often priced separately. Getting three written quotes that itemise labour, materials, waterproofing, and prep work separately is the most reliable way to compare accurately and avoid bill shock.
Who is responsible for waterproofing in a wet area, and why does it matter? expand_more
In New Zealand, wet-area waterproofing must comply with Building Code clause E3 and meet NZS 4858:2004, which sets minimum standards for membrane thickness and upstand heights of at least 100mm in showers. Work involving moisture control in a consented bathroom is restricted building work, meaning a Licensed Building Practitioner must carry it out or supervise it and provide a Record of Work.
Once tiles go down, the membrane is completely hidden, so any failure cannot be inspected or repaired without pulling the whole job apart. Ask your tiler for their LBP licence number before work starts, and confirm they will issue a Record of Work, because without it you risk voiding insurance and losing your Code Compliance Certificate.
How do I tell quality tiling from a poor job? expand_more
Lippage, where tile edges sit at different heights, is one of the clearest signs of poor workmanship, and you can check it by running your hand across the surface or using a straight edge. Grout lines should be uniform in width and fully filled, with no voids, cracking, or smearing across the tile face. Knock individual tiles gently with your knuckle and listen for a hollow sound, which indicates poor adhesive coverage underneath and a tile that is likely to crack or lift under load.
What are the warning signs of a tiler you shouldn't hire? expand_more
- –Verbal quotes only, with no written breakdown of labour, materials, prep, and waterproofing as separate line items.
- –Vague or dismissive answers when you ask who is handling waterproofing and whether they hold an LBP licence.
- –No mention of setting out the tile layout before starting, which leads to awkward slivers of cut tile in visible corners and doorways.
- –Unwillingness to level or prepare an uneven substrate before tiling, often framed as unnecessary to keep costs down.
- –No reference to previous wet-area work or inability to provide photos or references from bathroom or shower projects.
- –A quote that seems very low compared to others, which in the NZ market often means substrate prep or waterproofing has been left out entirely.
What should you ask before hiring a tiler? expand_more
- –Ask whether they carry out waterproofing themselves or coordinate it, and confirm they or their waterproofer holds a current LBP licence and will issue a Record of Work.
- –Ask how they handle an uneven or damaged substrate, and whether levelling or repair work is included in the quote or charged separately.
- –Ask to see the proposed tile layout or setting-out plan so you can confirm that cut tiles will fall in less visible spots rather than at eye-level or in doorways.
- –Ask whether tile supply is included in the quote or your responsibility, and if theirs, whether they carry samples of grout and trim so you can see colour options against your tiles before work starts.
- –Ask what guarantee covers the finished wet-area job and how long they have been operating, since a builder-recommended or repeat-use tiler is lower risk than one with no local track record.

How are the top tilers in Christchurch chosen? expand_more
We build this page from Google Maps results for tilers in Christchurch. Each one is scored on its public rating and review record. Businesses outside the area, or whose reviews describe a different line of work, are left out. A business whose website no longer resolves and that has had no Google review for six months is treated as dormant and left off the page until either changes. Every category and city is rechecked on a rolling cycle, about every two to three months. A location with a subscribing business is rechecked every month, and the whole page updates with it. See how we rank for the full method.
