Wall Tiling Prices Melbourne

Wall tiling has become a popular way to add texture and a feature element to living rooms, hallways, entryways, and outdoor areas, not just wet zones like bathrooms and kitchens. Pricing depends on whether you're tiling a full wall by the square metre or commissioning a standalone feature wall as a fixed-price project. Below is current Melbourne pricing across the most common wall tiling applications.

Feature walls are typically priced as a fixed project rather than a flat rate per square metre, because the design's brief tile size, pattern, mitred edges, and niches has a bigger impact on labour time than the wall's raw area. Standard walls in living areas, hallways, and entries are more straightforward to price per square metre, since the layout is usually a simple grid or brick-bond pattern. Retaining walls and outdoor walls sit at a slightly higher price point due to the weather-resistant materials and adhesives required. Many clients also combine wall tiling with a matching floor or hearth in the same material, which we're happy to quote as a single, coordinated project — see our floor tiling prices Melbourne guide for the matching floor rates.
