Run a Tiling Business That Does Not Run YouFor tiling business owners who are tired of pricing by the metre and hoping.
This is the hub for tiling business owners. Not apprentices, not homeowners pricing a bathroom. You screed, you set out, you lay, you grout, and then you run the business at night. Everything here is about making that business pay.
The week this is about
Running A Tiling Business Looks Like This.
Quoted per m2, paid for half the hours
The quote covered the floor and the walls. It said nothing about two days of screed, a set out around a bowed nib wall, or the day you lost waiting on the plumber to finish the rough in. You wore all of it.
The leak that comes back three years later
A shower you tiled in a rental starts weeping into the hallway skirting. The owner rings you, not the waterproofer. You are the name on the invoice, so you are the one standing in a stranger's bathroom on a Saturday with a moisture meter.
Squeezed between the waterproofer and the plumber
The site schedule has you starting Monday. The membrane is not cured, the floor waste sits proud, and the builder still wants the bathroom done by Friday. You either work in someone else's mess or you go home unpaid.
Another year of this and you are still the best tiler on the job, the cheapest quote in the folder, and the one who cannot take a week off without the money stopping.

Worth knowing
Two Things Every Tiler Running A Business Should Know.
In Queensland a wall and floor tiling licence is required once the work is worth more than $3,300, while in New South Wales the threshold for tiling work is $5,000.
Waterproofing failures sit inside the QBCC's top ten defect complaints, and in Queensland waterproofing is treated as structural, so liability runs six years and six months.
Why Greg
You speak to the owner who has already done it.
Greg built Response Electricians in Perth into a 30+ staff business with 1,950+ five-star reviews. A general manager runs it.
He has trained 9,000+ trade business owners across Australia and New Zealand.
He grew a coaching company to 35 staff, a CEO and 15 coaches, then cut it back so every owner deals with him directly.
Most coaching companies hand you to a salesperson, then to a coach who has never run a trade business. Here you get the owner.
What changes for you
The old way. The new way.
More customers meant more people doing the computer work, and more wages nobody invoices.
You stay with your customers and your team. The office stops landing on you.
The old way
More jobs. More paperwork. Less of the owner left.
Most trade businesses grow the same way.
More jobs means more quoting, invoicing, chasing and scheduling.
None of it gets paid for.
So the owner does it at night, after a full day on site.
Or hires an office person to do it.
The office grows. The wages grow. The margin does not.
And the owner is still the one everything waits on.
Where we take you
More work. More profit. More of you left.
The phone rings with the jobs you want, at the price you set.
You grow when you're ready, never faster than the business can carry.
Every job is priced to make money, so the busy months show up in the bank.
The best tradies in your area want to work for you, and they stay.
The chasing, the paperwork and the 9pm admin stop landing on you.
The business runs the day. You pick which parts of it you're in.
Bigger, without the headaches. Getting bigger stops meaning getting busier.
