With 2025 just around the corner your sights will be set on the new year ahead and what that means for you and your business. Will 2025 be a year of steadily chugging along or are you looking to expand your tiling business to serve more people and generate a greater income?

For those of you wondering how to make the new year the launching point for new growth in your business, then take a moment to listen to us here at Beava, as we know a thing or two about what it means to grow in the tiling industry, and today’s mini-guide has been put together to show you the way.

What Does Growth Look Like for Your Tiling Business?

Businesses can exist at many different stages, so it’s important to focus on who you are and where you are right now and from there develop a plan of action that will lead you to where you want to be.

To better address this question, it is good to ask yourself a few questions about what you want from your tiling business in 2025 and what exactly growth will look like for you and your business.

Ask yourselves questions such as:

How much growth do I want by the end of 2025?
Which new locations do I want to service?
What new clients do I want to work with that are not part of the usual clientele?
What challenges do you anticipate and how will you overcome them?
How do you plan on financing growth?
Do I want to expand what my business offers, or focus on offering the same but in a better way?

Having a well-thought-out plan, covering who you are, where you are, and where you want to go, and noticing the pitfalls to expect and the challenges to overcome will always make the vision much clearer in your mind and therefore much easier to implement. The plan acts as a road map too, able to point out key milestones that you should be achieving at particular intervals, allowing you to watch and review your progress throughout 2025 and course correct as and when it is needed.

Ideas for Growing Your Tiling Business

Growth starts with visibility and reputation. By building a strong local presence you provide the key foundation to begin winning new work and finding new clients. To help you achieve this, consider some of the following ideas you can utilise in your plan for 2025:

Strengthen Your Reputation

By consistently delivering high-quality work and asking your happy customers for reviews on Google, Trustpilot, or Checkatrade you can build a wonderful foundation of trust as well as word-of-mouth referrals, which are gold in this industry.

Network Locally

Partner with local suppliers, builders, and interior designers to create referral opportunities for you and them. For instance, you can try collaborating with tile shops to recommend their products to your clients whilst the tile shop recommends you as an installer, allowing both businesses to grow and thrive together.

Consider Memberships

Directories like Checkatrade can increase your visibility, making it easier for potential clients to find you.

Upskill and Offer Specialist Tiling Services

One of the fastest ways to grow your business is to offer something your competitors don’t. Specialist skills not only widen your potential customer base but also allow you to charge premium rates. Attend workshops to learn mosaic tiling, luxury bathroom designs, or Victorian floor restorations. These skills are always in demand and can set you apart.

Ask Your Market

Speak to customers and identify the service gaps in your area and if no one else is offering a specific skill, then make it yours. Beava's range of professional tiling tools can support you in offering specialist services, for example, their Porcelplus Mega Hard Drills for Porcelain are perfect for working on high-end materials, ensuring a flawless finish.

Offer Guarantees and Aftercare

Building trust with your clients is always going to be essential, so offering guarantees and aftercare can go a long way in showcasing your professionalism.

A workmanship guarantee reassures clients that you stand by the quality of your work. Follow-up visits or offering advice on maintaining tiles can build long-term relationships and lead to repeat business.

And of course, having the right tools makes this process easier, for example, Beava’s Washboy Kit simplifies grout cleaning, allowing you to deliver high-quality finishes that you can confidently guarantee.

Invest In Digital Marketing

The way of the world is wholly digital now, gone are the days of using telephone directories and service booklets to find the tradespeople in your area, but not every tradesperson recognises this. Taking your business online by finding a reputable digital marketing agency that can create a website, place you in the Google directories, and funnel traffic to your business is a must for anyone who wants to compete into 2025 and beyond.

Use The Best Tools

Utilising the best tools ensures you can give your professional job a professional finish. Lower-quality tools can make work harder, cause delays in the project development and ultimately cost you money by disappointing the client with poor-quality finishes or having to redo work because a poor-quality tool messed it up. By partnering with local and national suppliers like Beava, you can always be assured that you have constant access to the high-quality essentials that adorn every tiler's toolkit, allowing you to impress your clients and build a solid reputation through 2025 and beyond.

Conclusion

The new year is always an excellent time to re-evaluate, reframe and redeploy your efforts for the year ahead to start on the best foot and continue to grow through to 2026. So if you’re looking to grow your tiling business in 2025 then start now and create a plan of action, look to your local suppliers and retailers, find who can be a dependable ally to grow alongside, and look to the things you can implement in your business to provide for your clients what they cannot find anywhere else.
