Free Tiling Estimate Template
A clean, professional estimate template for tiling businesses — free to download and use, no email required. The Excel version calculates line amounts, tax, and the total automatically; the Word version is a fill-in you can print.
A tile estimate comes down to measured area, the prep underneath, and the layout the customer wants. Price floors and walls by the square foot with a waste factor, but make prep and substrate their own visible scope — that's where tile jobs go over — and note the pattern, because a diagonal or herringbone layout cuts more tile and takes more labour than a straight set.
Free for any use. No sign-up, no email gate.
What a good tiling estimate includes
- ✓Your business name and contact details — and the client's.
- ✓An estimate number and date, plus how long the price is valid.
- ✓Line items with a clear description, quantity, unit price, and amount.
- ✓Subtotal, tax (at your local rate), and the total — no surprises later.
- ✓Notes and terms: what's included, what's excluded, deposit and payment terms.
- ✓Show measured area per room with a stated waste factor (more for diagonal, herringbone, or mosaic), and separate floor tile from wall tile since labour rates differ.
- ✓Itemize substrate and prep — self-levelling, backer board, waterproofing membrane in wet areas, crack isolation — rather than assuming the existing floor is ready to set on.
- ✓Price the layout you quoted: straight set versus diagonal, herringbone, or a feature pattern, and note that custom layouts and small-format mosaics carry more cutting and setting time.
- ✓State who supplies the tile and the assumed price per square foot as an allowance, so an upgrade to a premium or imported tile is an obvious comparison, not a surprise.
- ✓Call out grout type and colour, edge and trim treatment (bullnose, Schluter), niches and accents, and exclusions like demo of existing tile or subfloor repair found underneath.

Common questions
Is this template really free?
Yes — download it and use it for any business. No email, no sign-up, no watermark beyond a one-line credit you can delete.
What's the difference between the Excel and Word versions?
The Excel version calculates line amounts, tax, and the total automatically from what you type — enter your tax rate once and the math is done. The Word version is a clean fill-in you can print or edit.
Can I edit the template?
Completely. Add your logo, change labels, add rows, adjust the terms — it's yours to adapt.
When the template becomes the bottleneck
Templates work until you're retyping the same client, the same lines, and the same totals every week. Stairkey turns the job itself into the estimate — quoted on site, approved, and billed from one record. See how it fits tiling.
