Dublin Tiler, tile work Dublin trusts to get it straight.

Dublin Tiler started on building sites around the city, fitting tiles for other people's companies - and noticing how often "good enough" was the standard.

After a decade working as a tiler for larger contractors across Dublin, our founder set up Dublin Tiler with one rule: every job gets set out and dry-laid before anything is fixed permanently. It sounds obvious. It's also the single biggest reason most tiling jobs go wrong - rushed setting-out leads to uneven grout lines, awkward cuts at doorways, and patterns that don't read right from the door in.

Today, Dublin Tiler is a small, focused crew covering kitchen, bathroom, wall and commercial tiling across the city - from one-room refits in Drumcondra to full commercial fit-outs in the city centre. We've kept the business small on purpose, because the quality of a tiling job comes down to the hands that actually fit it, not how big the company behind it is. When you call, you're talking to the same person who'll be on your job, not a call centre passing your number down a chain of subcontractors.

We work across every part of Dublin city and county, for homeowners renovating a single bathroom, landlords refreshing a rental between tenants, builders who need a tiling subcontractor they can rely on to turn up, and commercial clients fitting out an office, café or shop. The jobs vary in size and budget, but the standard we hold ourselves to doesn't change.

Our mission is straightforward: every tile we fix should be flat, sealed and exactly where it should be for years to come. That's the standard we quote to, and the standard we guarantee in writing, on every single job regardless of size.

That standard looks slightly different depending on the job. A residential bathroom refit is personal - it's the room a family uses every morning, and the client is usually living in the house while we work, so we plan around that: dust sheets, daily clean-downs, and a clear finish date agreed up front. A commercial fit-out is judged differently - on how fast it can go in without disrupting trade, and how well the floor stands up to daily footfall, trolleys, spills and cleaning chemicals. We quote and schedule each type of job on its own terms rather than treating every site the same way.

We've also built up real material knowledge over twelve years, not just installation technique. Porcelain and ceramic behave predictably and are forgiving to cut and fit, which is why they cover most of our kitchen and bathroom work. Natural stone - marble, limestone, travertine - is a different proposition: it's porous, it varies from tile to tile even within the same batch, and it needs sealing at the right point in the process or it will stain and etch within months. Large-format tiles, now common in modern kitchens and commercial floors, need a flatter substrate and a different adhesive technique than smaller traditional tiles, or they crack under the slightest deflection in the floor beneath them. Knowing which material suits which application, and fitting it the way that material actually demands, is most of what separates a tiling job that lasts from one that doesn't.
