Tile estimates go wrong in a predictable way: the customer assumes you are supplying the tile, you assume they are, and the quote is off by thousands before anyone has stood in the room. A good form settles that in one question.
The question that prevents surprises
Ask clearly: "Do you already have the tile, or do you want help choosing?" Three answers cover it: already purchased, will purchase with guidance, or want it supplied. It changes labor, scheduling and who pays for overage.
Then ask where: shower or tub surround, kitchen backsplash, floor, fireplace, or outdoor. Each has its own prep, and a shower wall is a different category from a hallway floor.
Details that shape a tile estimate
- ✓Location in the home — shower, backsplash, floor, outdoor
- ✓Approximate size — square feet or wall dimensions
- ✓Tile status — purchased, needs selecting, want supplied
- ✓Tile type and layout — large format, mosaic, pattern
- ✓Demolition — old tile removal included or not
Waterproofing and prep in plain words
Buyers often do not know that a shower needs a waterproof layer under the tile. A single line under the form, "Showers include waterproofing, ask us how we do it," sets expectation without a lecture. If prep varies, tell them the price depends on what is behind the wall.
The request arrives in your email with all answers in order and a confirmation tells the visitor what happens next.
A simple routine
- ✓Reply with questions only if needed — the form should answer most
- ✓Ask to see the space — tile needs measurement
- ✓Share a rough range after viewing
- ✓Update the gallery — quarterly with new finished jobs
Close-ups are your credibility
Tile work is judged in detail. A page with the form on one side and a close-up of straight grout lines on the other does more selling than a paragraph of text. We lay out the photos you supply and keep them near the call to action.
What to expect, honestly
- ✓We do not quote without your measurements — the form gives a starting point
- ✓Photo uploads are scoped separately — helpful for existing conditions
- ✓Product selection is yours — we do not curate tile lines
