estimated cost of tiling bathroom walls
I am thinking about having a bathroom tiled.The bathroom is about 6 by 8
and right now the walls have a horrible pink and black alternating ceramic
tile that goes up about 4 feet on the wall all the way around.All l wanna
do is replace this tile with a glass tile.l have no idea what the cost
would be for materials and labor so any estimates would be appreciated.
This is the only work l need done.
One way to lower your costs would be to do the tile demolition
yourself and then buy a less expensive field tile for most of the walls
and add in the higher priced glass tiles in random places or to form a
pattern in a special place-- say above the sink or around the shower head
area, etc. Do you really want that much glass tile?
If you live near a Floor & Decor Store, you should be able to
find a decent glass tile for around $2.00/ square foot. Now, assuming it
is on all four walls covering every bit of those walls, 4 ft. high, that
would be about 112 square feet. Plus, you always need to buy around 15%
waste. So, total you would need to buy 129 square ft. of tile. You also
would need Mastic to put the tile on the wall, should cost you $50 or less
for enough to tile the area you have. Labor should run you about $500-700 for the removal of the old tile & installation of the new tile. There is however one issue you might not have thought of. If you remove the old tile, it will most likely destroy the walls it is attached to. From the way it sounds, this is old tile that was installed using something called a ''mud bed.'' This is basically metal wire & weakened concrete. All of this will have to be removed & new sheet-rock or green board will have to be installed. The cost of this would run you another $600-800 in labor & materials. So ur worst case scenario, would run you around $1800. If you happen to be in the Atlanta, I would be happy to take a look at the job. I have 10+ yrs. experience as Home Depot Certified Flooring Installer
Removing old tile and backer board, replace with new backer
board and new tile with average tile and size $5000 to $10,000. With
glass tile and special setting material for the glass tile about 2 to 3
times the above. The best way is to shop at a tile or flooring store to
get a real price for your area as price vary by regent. If possible get
the material and installation from the same place.
