What tilers in Ayr typically handle

A tiler lays ceramic, porcelain, stone and mosaic tiles — bathrooms, kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and floors, hallways, fireplaces and outdoor patios. The skill is in level prep, accurate cuts and consistent grout lines.

Common jobs: Bathroom tile install; Kitchen splashback; Wetroom waterproofing and tiling; Floor tile lay; Tile repair or re-grout; Patio tiling.

When to call vs when to DIY

A small splashback or single accent wall is a reasonable weekend project for a careful DIYer. Wetrooms, whole bathrooms and large floor areas have too many ways to go wrong (uneven prep, water ingress, cracked tiles within a year) to be worth the risk.

If you're not sure where the line is, the hiring guide walks through what to ask, how to vet quotes, and when to walk away.

FAQ

Common questions about tilers in Ayr

How do you choose the top tiler in Ayr?

We score every published business on a combination of average customer rating and total review count, filtered through a 4.5★ minimum. The composite favours businesses with both high ratings AND a meaningful number of reviews — so a 5-star tiler with 3 reviews won't outrank a 4.9-star one with 200. No paid placements, no sponsorship.

How often is the list refreshed?

Every quarter. If a business drops below 4.5★ or shuts down, they're removed and the next-best Ayr tiler moves up. Badges already earned remain valid — winning a 2026 Top 5 award doesn't get retroactively revoked.

Does it cost anything to be listed?

No. Listings are free — we don't accept payment for placement, sponsorship, or featured spots. Submit your business via Get listed for consideration in the next refresh.

I'm one of the listed businesses — can I edit my listing?

Yes. Each profile page has a "Claim this listing" button. Verify your business email, then you can edit your description, add photos, set your hours and link to your website. Free.

I'd like my business removed

No problem. Use the removal request form — actioned within 7 days, no questions asked.
