Block and Plaster Walls
The most common in Dubai villas and towers. They are checked for hollow plaster first. Primers control suction.
Wall Tile Installation in Dubai
Wall tiles show every error: a crooked line, an uneven joint or a badly cut tile around a socket. We set ceramic, porcelain, marble and mosaic wall tiles from a level datum line, keep joints even and cut neatly around switches, pipes and windows.

Process
How We Tile a Wall
- Step 1
Check the Wall
Walls are checked for flatness and plumb, and repaired if needed.
- Step 2
Set a Datum
A laser line sets the first full row, not the floor.
- Step 3
Set Tiles
Tiles are set with spacers and checked as we go.
- Step 4
Grout and Finish
Joints are grouted and edges trimmed and sealed.
Walls
Wall Surfaces We Tile
Gypsum Board Walls
Moisture-resistant board is used in wet areas. Tile weight limits are respected. Joints are taped.
Cement Board
The best base for showers and heavy tiles. It is rigid and water resistant. Joints are sealed.
Over Old Tiles
Possible when old tiles are sound and flat. A bonding primer is applied. Wall depth around fittings is checked.
Start From a Level Line
Floors are rarely level, so starting the first row on the floor makes every row crooked. We set a level datum and cut the bottom row to suit.
Layout is planned so cut tiles sit in corners and behind doors, not in the middle of a feature wall.
For floors, see floor tile installation. For broken tiles, see cracked tile replacement, and for splashbacks, kitchen backsplash tiling.

Wall Tile Installation: FAQs
What Is the Cost of Laying Floor Tiles per Square Metre in Dubai?
Labour for floor tiling starts from AED 45 per square metre and wall tiling from AED 55 per square metre for standard porcelain and ceramic. Large format, mosaic and natural stone cost more because they take longer to set. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
Can You Tile Over Existing Tiles?
Often, yes, if the old tiles are flat, firmly bonded and not hollow. We test them, prime with a bonding primer and use a suitable adhesive. Door heights and floor levels are checked first.
How Long Does Tile Installation Take?
A bathroom usually takes three to five days including waterproofing and curing. A kitchen splashback is often done in a day. Floors depend on the area and tile size.
How Does Tile Installation in Dubai Usually Work?
We measure and survey the surface, agree tiles and layout, prepare and waterproof where needed, set tiles on the right adhesive, grout and seal, then clean up. Most rooms take two to four days including curing time.
