5 Best Ceramic Tile Shops in New York (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Talise Sterling, Goods and Shopping · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

You've got a sample chip in one hand and a contractor waiting on an answer. New York's tile scene ranges from a two-floor Flatiron showroom to a Brooklyn boutique that resurfaces the tile you already have instead of selling new. We compared the five with the strongest Google track record so you land in the right one.

Short answer: TileBar leads with a 4.5 rating across 619 reviews, the deepest track record of any tile business here. TDNY Tile & Stone posts the highest rating among true retailers at 4.9 from 109 reviews. Cost is driven mainly by the tile material itself, so get a per-square-foot quote before committing to a project.

4.5619 Google reviews

Wide selection called out repeatedly, including hard-to-find shapes and finishes
Sample and standard tile pricing described as reasonable next to local competitors

TDNY Tile & Stone

4.9109 Google reviews

TDNY Tile & Stone runs a Brooklyn showroom stocking porcelain slabs and tile collections sourced internationally, with new arrivals added weekly and a design team that walks buyers through layout, size and color decisions on-site.

What people praise

Staff members are named repeatedly for going beyond just selling tile to help with design decisions
Reviewers describe pricing as comparable to or cheaper than big-box competitors
The showroom itself gets called out as beautiful and well laid out
One reviewer sourced a hard-to-find tile on short notice when a contractor's job was stalled

Worth knowing

One reviewer described a poor front-desk interaction on a quieter visit
As a boutique showroom, in-stock quantities for a single tile may be more limited than a big-box retailer

Our take: TDNY posts the highest rating of the true tile retailers on this list, 4.9 across 109 reviews, though on a smaller sample than TileBar's. Worth a visit if you want a design-led experience over a warehouse browse.

Shiny Surface Restoration

5.094 Google reviews

Shiny Surface Restoration is a refinishing contractor, not a tile shop. It reglazes and restores existing bathtubs, tile walls, shower stalls, sinks, countertops and cabinets in place, mostly for property managers and hospitality operators turning over units fast, rather than selling new tile.

What people praise

Reviewers across multiple jobs praise the crew by name for professional, mess-free work
Turnaround is fast, several reviewers note bathtub or tile jobs finished same-day or next-day
Pricing described as reasonable to great across several reviews
Handles a range of surfaces beyond tile: tubs, sinks, countertops and cabinets

Worth knowing

This is a resurfacing service, not a place to buy new ceramic tile, worth knowing if you're shopping for materials

Our take: Shiny Surface Restoration posts a perfect 5.0, but it belongs in a different category than the tile retailers around it. If your outdated tile just needs a fresh finish rather than a full retile, it's the pick; if you're buying tile, look to TileBar, TDNY or Floor & Decor instead.

Floor & Decor

4.4107 Google reviews

Floor & Decor's Brooklyn store is a large-format warehouse retailer for tile, flooring, cabinets and countertops, with in-house design consultants, a project visualizer app, and both in-store pickup and online ordering.

What people praise

Reviewers highlight design consultants for patient, detailed help picking tile
Wide in-person selection reviewers say beats working from a contractor's limited sample book
Financing options noted as a help for bigger projects
App-based visualizer called out as useful for seeing tile in different spaces

Worth knowing

More than one reviewer describes long waits or slow resolution on damaged-order and pickup issues
As a big-box chain, service can vary more by location and by which associate you get

Our take: Floor & Decor posts the largest selection and a solid 4.4 rating, but its complaints skew toward order and logistics issues more than the boutique shops above it. It's a strong pick if you want tile, cabinets and countertops under one roof.

New York Tile Factory

4.961 Google reviews

New York Tile Factory is a small Midtown boutique selling handcrafted Japanese-style decorative tiles alongside diffusers, incense and home decor, more a gift and design shop than a construction-grade tile supplier. It has no website or online ordering, so everything happens in the store.

What people praise

Reviewers describe the shop and its aesthetic as a standout, calm and distinctly Japanese-feeling space
Specific pieces like an onigiri-shaped tile and a Mt. Fuji tile get called out by name as memorable finds
Staff described as genuinely helpful in picking scents and pieces
Repeat visitors say the quality holds up enough to come back more than once

Worth knowing

This is a decorative tile and home fragrance boutique, not a source for construction or installation-grade ceramic tile
A few reviewers note prices run a bit high for what are essentially decor pieces

Our take: New York Tile Factory earns a strong 4.9, but it sells decorative accent tiles and home fragrance, not the flooring or wall tile most people mean when they search for a ceramic tile shop. Worth a stop for a gift or one striking accent piece, not a full retile.

How we scored this list

Rating is the live Google average for each business. Review volume is how many customers have actually left a rating, ranked against every other tile-related listing we looked at in New York. Confidence blends the two, so a business with hundreds of reviews carries more weight than one with a perfect score built on a handful. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What ceramic tile costs in New York (2026)

Tile cost is driven mainly by material, porcelain and natural stone run well above basic ceramic, and imported or handcrafted lines cost more than mass-produced stock. Labor for installation is a separate line item entirely. None of the businesses on this list publish a fixed price list, so get a written, per-square-foot quote for both material and installation before you commit.

Tile shopping across New York City

TileBar’s showroom sits in the Flatiron district, TDNY Tile & Stone and Shiny Surface Restoration both work out of Brooklyn (Clinton Hill and the Financial District respectively), Floor & Decor anchors a warehouse location in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and New York Tile Factory tucks into a small storefront in Midtown near Bryant Park. Between them, tile shopping is a short trip from most Manhattan and Brooklyn neighborhoods.

What to ask before you buy tile

Is there enough of this exact tile in stock for my full project, plus overage?
What’s the restocking fee and return policy if tile arrives damaged?
Does the price quoted include installation, or material only?
How long is the lead time if the tile has to be ordered in?
Can I get a sample to see it in my own lighting before buying in bulk?
Is the surface rated for floor use, wall use, or both?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data: live rating, review volume and how recently people are still reviewing. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which gets a badge and placement boost, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

Why is a bathtub reglazing company on a tile shop list?

Shiny Surface Restoration shows up under this category on Google because it resurfaces tile among other surfaces, but it doesn’t sell tile. We kept it on the list and labeled it clearly since it’s genuinely what turns up in a search, rather than dropping it silently.

How did you choose these five?

We compared tile and tile-adjacent businesses across New York on live Google rating, how many customers have reviewed them, and how recently those reviews are coming in, then weighed rating against volume so a newer business with a perfect score doesn’t automatically outrank one with a longer track record.

How often is this updated?

We refresh this list as new reviews and ratings come in. This version was verified in July 2026.

The bottom line

TileBar is the safe default for most projects, with the deepest track record and the widest selection of true installation tile on this list. If you want a more design-led, boutique experience, TDNY Tile & Stone earns the highest rating of the actual tile retailers here.
