Professional Bathroom Renovation Specialists
Bathroom tiling isn't just about making it look good. Water damage from poor tiling costs thousands to fix. We see it all the time - tiles lifting, grout failing, water getting into walls.
Our bathroom tiling includes:
- Complete waterproofing to Australian Standards
- Floor tiling with correct falls to drainage
- Wall tiling - feature walls, shower areas, splashbacks
- Shower base and niche construction
- Cement bedding and screed work
- Silicone sealing and grouting
We work with all tile types - ceramic, porcelain, natural stones like marble and granite, mosaic features. Each bathroom's different. Small ensuite might take 3 days, large family bathroom could be a week.
The Right Way to Tile Bathrooms
There's a proper sequence for bathroom tiling that many skip. First comes cement bedding to create correct falls. Water needs to flow to the drain, not sit in puddles.
Waterproofing comes next - this is critical. We use proper membrane systems, not just paint-on products. Water stop angles at doorways, proper detailing around penetrations. Get this wrong and you've got major problems later.
Floor tiles go down first, directly onto the waterproof membrane. Then wall tiles sit on top of floor tiles - better finish and stops water getting behind. Everything needs to be level and plumb. We use laser levels, not just spirit levels.
Common Bathroom Tiling Problems
After 50 plus years fixing other people's bathroom tiling, here's what goes wrong:
Shower leaks - usually from poor waterproofing or movement in the structure. We can often repair without removing all tiles, but sometimes complete redo is needed.
Grout going mouldy - wrong type of grout or no sealer applied. Epoxy grout costs more but lasts much longer in wet areas.
Tiles drummy (hollow sound) - adhesive failure from moisture or poor application. These will eventually come loose.
Uneven tiles - rushed job or inexperienced tiler. Can't fix this without starting again.
Bathroom Tile Selection
Huge range of bathroom tiles available now. Prices from $30 to $150 per square metre just for tiles. Large format tiles popular but harder to install properly - need dead flat walls.
Porcelain works well for bathroom floors - less slippery than ceramic when wet. Natural stone is beautiful but needs sealing. Mosaic tiles are great for shower floors as small tiles follow the fall better.
We help select appropriate tiles for each area. Not all tiles suit all applications. Some are too slippery for floors, others not suitable for wet areas.
