How tile installers bill
Prices tile setting per square foot, higher for small mosaics, complex patterns and shower walls, with waterproofing and prep billed apart.
Tile installers commonly use "30% deposit, balance on completion", so the invoice is payable the day it is issued. A deposit for setting materials and the start date is common, with the balance due once grouting and sealing are done.
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2024: median hourly wage of Tile and Stone Setters $25.11 (employees, not contractor rates).
Tile Installer invoicing tips
- Name the waterproofing system you used and the date of the flood test, because that record is what an owner, or the next buyer, needs to trust a shower that has been closed in.
- Price large-format and mosaic tile at different square-foot rates and show the split; one blended rate looks arbitrary when a customer starts counting tiles.
- When the customer supplies the tile, say so on the invoice and add that breakage or shortages of owner-supplied tile are not covered by your price.
- Record grout type (cement, urethane or epoxy) and color for each area so any future repair can match what went in.
Tile Installer billing disputes to head off
- Lippage, where tile edges sit at different heights, is a common complaint with large-format tile on an uneven floor. Billing floor leveling as its own prep line shows what it took to get the surface flat.
- Owners who bought their own extra tile may question your material order; noting the waste percentage needed for pattern cuts explains the difference.
Work a tile installer can bill for

- Align and straighten tile using levels, squares, and straightedges.
- Determine and implement the best layout to achieve a desired pattern.
- Cut and shape tile to fit around obstacles and into odd spaces and corners, using hand and power cutting tools.
- Finish and dress the joints and wipe excess grout from between tiles, using damp sponge.
- Apply mortar to tile back, position the tile, and press or tap with trowel handle to affix tile to base.
- Mix, apply, and spread plaster, concrete, mortar, cement, mastic, glue or other adhesives to form a bed for the tiles, using brush, trowel and screed.
