Frequently asked questions.
How do tile setters price a backsplash?
Price tile by the square foot, then thinset, grout, edge, backer if the wall is soft, and the hours to set and grout. Published kitchen backsplashes run about $600 to $1,300 and about $500 to $1,500. This sample is $1,000.
What should a backsplash estimate include?
The square footage, the material, whether the counter is in, and who moves the outlets. This sample is ceramic field tile on a finished counter, outlets left alone.
How long does a backsplash take?
The sample uses 6 hours to set and grout about 30 square feet. A mosaic sheet, a herringbone, or a tile that needs a lot of cuts takes longer.
Should outlet moves be on this estimate?
No, unless you are the one doing them and you are allowed to. This sample leaves the devices. An electrician's trip is a separate estimate.
Are these prices a real quote?
No. The lines are sample prices so you can see the shape of the estimate. In the app, the estimate follows the job you describe, your answer, and your prices.
