How to hire a tiling pro in Cyprus
- Ask for photos of finished bathrooms and terraces — tiling quality varies and there is no licensing
- Confirm waterproofing for showers and, importantly, external terraces/verandas (a classic Cyprus leak source)
- Get a per-m² written quote with screed and prep itemized
- Ask for VAT invoice
- Use frost- and UV-rated tiles outdoors; summer heat and winter rain cycle terraces hard
- Order 10-15% extra from one batch — reorders on imported tiles are slow
Tiling is unregulated in Cyprus; municipality permits apply only to structural works. Flat-roof terraces and verandas are tiled living space in Cypriot homes, and failed terrace waterproofing under tiles is one of the island's most common building defects.

Frequently asked questions
How much does tiling cost?
Tilers price labour per square metre (or square foot), with tiles, adhesive, grout and prep on top. Small-format ceramic on a flat floor is the base rate; large-format porcelain, natural stone, mosaics, herringbone patterns and wall work all cost more per unit because they are slower and less forgiving.
Should I buy the tiles or does the tiler supply them?
Either works, but you usually choose and buy tiles yourself and the tiler supplies adhesive, grout and trims. Order 10-15% extra for cuts and breakage (more for patterns and large formats) and keep leftovers for future repairs. Have tiles on site before the tiler starts.
How much does it cost to remove old tiles?
Removal is priced per square metre and depends on what's underneath: tiles on board come off fast, tiles on thick sand-cement beds are slow, noisy demolition work. Budget for substrate repairs after removal — you rarely know the wall or floor condition until tiles are off.
Do wet areas need waterproofing before tiling?
Yes — tiles and grout are not waterproof; the membrane behind them is. Most countries mandate or strongly standardize wet-area waterproofing, and it must cure before tiling. If a bathroom quote doesn't mention waterproofing, that is the question to ask before anything else.
Why are my new tiles cracking or coming loose?
Almost always substrate or installation, not the tile: movement in the floor, missing expansion joints, adhesive coverage too thin (spot-dabbing), or tiling over a drummy layer. Cracked single tiles from impact are replaceable if you kept spares — always keep a box.
Why does my Cyprus veranda leak through to the room below?
Tiled verandas need a proper membrane beneath the screed — tiles and grout alone let water through, and summer-winter thermal cycling opens joints. The fix is stripping back to slab, membrane, screed with falls, then retiling; sealing grout alone rarely lasts.
