The total cost to hire a professional to retile your bathroom can go up if you require that tiles be laid out in a special pattern or if your bathroom has an unusual layout. Likewise, the cost of retiling a bathroom increases if you purchase custom tiles. A professional usually inspects your bathroom before providing you with a quote. All damage to walls or the floor needs to be repaired before retiling. Furthermore, take into consideration that retiling a bathroom yourself can take several days or weeks, depending on your experience.
