Tiling in Zăbala

About this service

Properly laid tiling means not just a beautiful look but a durable, easy-to-maintain surface for years. The specialist prepares and levels the substrate, applies the right adhesive, lays tiles straight and level, cuts precisely around sockets and corners, and finishes the joints with water-resistant grout. The waterproofing of a bathroom and the resistance of a floor to traffic and moisture depend on correct installation. An experienced tiler recommends the right materials, calculates the quantities needed, and delivers work with even grout lines and tidy corners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the tiler also install tile skirting boards?

Yes, tilers usually also install tile skirting boards that finish the joint between floor and wall. Make sure to mention this detail when discussing the job.

How much does tiling cost in Zăbala?

Labor for tile installation ranges from 30 to 90 RON/sqm, depending on tile type and job complexity. For a complete bathroom, the total cost (including materials) can be between 2,000 and 7,000 RON, depending on surface area and material quality.

How long does it take to tile a bathroom?

A standard bathroom of 5-8 sqm takes 2-4 working days to tile. If demolition, surface prep, or screeding is needed, the timeframe can extend to 5-7 days.

What's the difference between floor tiles and wall tiles?

Floor tiles are harder and more wear-resistant, suitable for high-traffic areas. Wall tiles (faience) are lighter and typically used on walls. Some glazed floor tiles can be used on walls, but wall tiles are not recommended for floors.

Do I need to remove the old tiles before installation?

Generally, removing old tiles is recommended to ensure a solid base and prevent cracking. Tiling over existing tiles is possible, but only if they're fully bonded and the surface is flat.

What adhesive is used for tiling?

Different adhesives are used depending on tile type and application area: flexible adhesive for wet zones (bathroom, kitchen), standard adhesive for dry areas, and special adhesive for large-format or exterior tiles. A knowledgeable tiler will select the right product.
