Below I share a recent price survey along with trends and useful tips to help you make the right purchase.

Note: There are premium-grade adhesives as well (flexible, high-bond, waterproof, etc.) these may cost significantly more (sometimes 25–50% extra) depending on features like flexibility, water resistance, and suitability for large or heavy tiles.
Why Prices Vary (and What to Watch Out For)
Several factors influence tile bond prices in Pakistan:
- Quality and formulation: Basic cementitious adhesives cost less; polymer-modified or flexible/waterproof adhesives cost more.
- Brand and reputation: Trusted brands tend to price higher but often deliver better bonding, consistency, and durability.
- Bag size: Adhesives are sold in 20 kg, 25 kg, 40 kg larger bags may slightly reduce per-kg cost but require storage space and proper handling.
- Raw material costs & inflation: As of 2025, price increases are seen across building materials adhesives included.
- Type of use: If you need waterproofing, heavy-tile bonding, or outdoor durability, premium adhesives pay off but they come at a higher price.
What This Means for Pakistani Homeowners & Contractors
- If you’re tiling standard ceramic or small floor tiles in a normal indoor setting, adhesives in the PKR 540–600 per 20 kg bag range are usually sufficient.
- For heavy tiles, porcelain, large-format slabs, or wet areas (bathrooms, kitchens, balconies) consider investing in a mid- to premium-grade bond (Rs. 610–650 or more) for better adhesion and durability.
- Always check the bag label: correct mixing ratio, expiry date, recommended tile types these factors matter more than just price.
- Buying in bulk (40 kg bags) may reduce cost per kg slightly, but ensures you store them in dry, sheltered space to prevent dampness.
