Check your bathroom waterproofing before tiling

Before you buy tiles: is the bathroom waterproofed?

Tiles do not stop water; the waterproofing layer under them does. If the bathroom is in use and damp shows on the ceiling below, a check before tiling saves you a full tear-out a year later.

11 Tips Before Buying Bathroom Tiles

1
Always calculate with 10% waste: Even simple cuts produce breakage — never go below 10% waste allowance.
2
Check the Batch Number: Buy all your tiles from the same batch to avoid color variations between boxes.
3
Open a box to inspect before buying: Check color consistency and quality before placing your full order.
4
Keep a spare box: After installation, store one box for future repairs using the same tile.
5
Large tiles suit large bathrooms: 60×60 or 60×120 sizes make a room look bigger but generate more waste in small bathrooms.
6
Diagonal installation increases waste: If you want a 45-degree diagonal layout, use at least 15% waste allowance.
7
Check the slip resistance rating: For bathroom floors, R10 or higher slip resistance rating is recommended for safety.
8
Same tile for floor and walls saves effort: Choosing the same size for both simplifies purchasing and gives a cohesive look.
9
Account for tile thickness: Factor in tile height and screed depth when calculating the final tiling height.
10
Finish and cleanability: Glossy tiles show stains more. Matte or textured finishes are better suited for floors.
11
Don't forget installation materials: This calculator counts tiles only. Also calculate adhesive, grout, and wall backing as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Tile Calculation

Calculate the floor or wall area by multiplying length × width, then divide the total area (with 10% waste) by the area of one tile in square meters to get the tile count.

10% is the default and most common. Do not go below it even with simple cuts, and use 15% for diagonal installation or bathrooms with many cuts.

A 60×60 cm tile box typically contains 4 tiles and covers 1.44 m², as listed in the Saudi Ceramics catalogue. This can vary by brand, so always check the box label.

Usually yes — bathrooms are fully tiled (floor and walls). You can use this calculator for each separately or combined.

Yes, you should subtract the area of doors and windows from the total wall area to get the net tiling area.

Bathroom area is the actual dimensions. Coverage area includes the added waste percentage to compensate for breakage, cuts, and installation variation.

For small bathrooms, 30×30 or 30×60 cm sizes are preferred to ease cutting and minimize waste. Large 60×60 or 60×120 tiles look better in larger spaces.

The result is an estimate, not a final figure. Factors like installer skill, layout type, and bathroom shape may increase or reduce the quantity. We recommend buying 10–15% extra as a buffer.

You can buy from Saudi Ceramics, RAK Ceramics, Bayt Al-Ibaa, and local ceramics stores in your city.

The math is similar, but bathrooms require calculating walls in addition to the floor, with deductions for door and window openings.

For a 6 m² floor area with 60×60 tiles and 10% waste, you need 6.6 m², which is 5 boxes (1.44 m² each) for the floor only. For walls, add their area based on height.
