Benaa Finishing · Tiling
Tile and marble fixing,laid to level and line.
At Benaa Contracting W.L.L., a licensed contractor in Manama, tile fixing is a trade we carry out ourselves: ceramic, porcelain and marble on floors and walls across Bahrain. Labour starts from BHD 3.5 per m², or from BHD 5 per m² including adhesive and fixing materials. The tile or marble is supplied by the client, and marble is quoted per project.
The short answer
Tiling by Benaa,ceramic, porcelain and marble.
Benaa Contracting fixes tiles and marble in villas, flats and commercial spaces across Bahrain. We fix ceramic, porcelain and marble on floors and walls. We carry out the fixing; the tile, porcelain or marble itself is always supplied by the client, which most owners buy directly from the showrooms and factories in Bahrain.
Fixing starts from BHD 3.5 per m² for labour only, or from BHD 5 per m² if we supply the adhesive and fixing materials. Marble is quoted per project after we see the material, the area and the slab size.
The site visit is free and the Bill of Quantities usually reaches you within 3 to 5 working days. Read the tile fixing cost guide for what moves the rate.
What we do
Three materials,three different jobs.
Ceramic, porcelain and marble all go onto floors and walls, but they are not the same work, so they do not share one rate.
Ceramic
The easiest to cut and fix, and the lightest. Suited to bathrooms, kitchens and internal walls.
Porcelain
Harder and less porous, but more difficult to cut and needing more precise labour. Common for floors and external areas.
Marble
Natural stone with heavy slabs, a perfectly level substrate and usually grinding and polishing after fixing. Quoted per project.
Levelling
Where a floor is uneven it is levelled first, and priced as its own item.
Staircase marble
Precise work: every tread is measured and cut individually. It is often under-budgeted.
Grouting and cleaning
Joints grouted and surfaces cleaned down, ready for the final coat of paint.
How to choose
Choosing a tile fixing contractor:six questions worth asking.
Most disputes in tiling are about who supplies what. Six questions that settle it before work starts:
- Is the company registered? Ask for the commercial registration number and check it. Ours is 166393-1.
- Is the rate labour only or including materials? The two rates are not comparable. Ask exactly what adhesive and fixing materials are included.
- Who supplies the tile? Make sure the quote says so in writing. With Benaa the client always supplies the tile, porcelain or marble.
- Is marble priced separately? It is different work from ceramic and porcelain and should not carry the same rate.
- Is levelling a separate item? An uneven floor needs it, and it should be a clear line.
- What is excluded? Facade tiling fixed mechanically is a different discipline and is quoted separately.
Every Benaa quote sets out measured areas room by room, the tile type and size, what adhesive and fixing materials are included, and what is not.

Five steps between a bare floorand a finished surface.

Levelling
Where the floor is uneven, it is levelled first, priced as its own item.
Adhesive
Adhesive spread with a notched trowel, suited to the tile size and to internal or external use.
Laying
Tiles laid to level and line with spacers and levelling clips, and cut in at the edges.

Questions
Commonquestions.
Which company fixes tiles in Bahrain?
Benaa Contracting W.L.L., a licensed contractor based in Manama (commercial registration 166393-1), fixes ceramic, porcelain and marble on floors and walls across Bahrain. Labour starts from BHD 3.5 per square metre.
Who are the best tile fixing companies in Bahrain?
There is no official ranking. Compare companies on registration, whether the rate is labour only or includes materials, who supplies the tile, how marble and levelling are priced and what is excluded. Benaa Contracting is one option and issues every quote as a Bill of Quantities.
How much does tile fixing cost per m² in Bahrain?
Tile and porcelain fixing from Benaa starts from BHD 3.5 per square metre for labour only, or from BHD 5 per square metre including adhesive and fixing materials. Marble is quoted per project.
Do you supply the tiles or marble?
No. The tile, porcelain or marble is always supplied by the client, who usually buys from the showrooms and factories in Bahrain. We carry out the fixing, and can supply the adhesive and fixing materials if you prefer.
What is the difference between the BHD 3.5 and BHD 5 rates?
BHD 3.5 is labour only. BHD 5 also includes the adhesive and fixing materials. In both cases the tile itself is client-supplied.
Why is marble quoted separately?
Marble slabs are heavy, need more people to lift and set, a perfectly level substrate and usually grinding and polishing after fixing. Veining also has to be matched across slabs, so it is quoted per project.
