How to hire a tiling pro in Hong Kong
- Tiling falls under 泥水 (wet trades) in HK renovation quotes — confirm the master's tiling portfolio specifically
- Register works with building management; hacking tiles is restricted to permitted hours
- Confirm waterproofing redo and a flood test for bathroom floors
- Get quotes per sq ft with hacking, disposal and screed itemized
- Licensed disposal of construction waste is required — confirm it's in the price
- Check platform reviews (HKDecoman, Toby)
Bathroom re-tiling in Hong Kong flats is non-structural and outside Buildings Department approval, but building management imposes registration, deposits and hacking-hours rules. Waterproofing failures cause inter-flat seepage disputes handled by the FEHD/BD Joint Office, so a flood test before tiling is standard good practice.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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 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.
How do I find a good tiler in Tung Chung?
Ask tilers in Tung Chung for photos of finished wet rooms and floor-to-wall junctions — lippage (uneven tile edges), crooked grout lines and bad cuts around fittings are where cheap work shows. Good tilers also talk about substrate prep and waterproofing before they talk about tiles.
What does retiling cost in Hong Kong?
Tiling labour runs roughly HK$40-90 per sq ft depending on format, with a full bathroom hack-and-retile including waterproofing commonly HK$30,000-60,000 in a typical flat. Quotes are per sq ft — always get the measured area in writing.
