Tiling & Waterproofing FAQs

Perth Tiling & Waterproofing FAQs

Can you tile over existing tiles?

Sometimes, after checking bond, movement, moisture, levels and clearances. Preparation and adhesive must suit the existing surface. Wet-area waterproofing and drainage also need assessment.

Will regrouting stop a leaking shower?

Regrouting can repair grout joints, but it does not replace a failed waterproofing membrane or fix a pipe leak. We assess the likely cause before recommending a scope.

Which tiles suit a bathroom?

Choose tiles approved for the intended wall or floor use. Consider slip resistance, cleaning, layout and the room's drainage requirements. Tile size alone does not determine whether a bathroom will look larger.

How many extra tiles should I order?

Allow for cuts, breakages, pattern matching and future repairs. The allowance depends on the layout and tile format; confirm the quantity after measuring and planning.

Do all tiles and grout need sealing?

No. Sealing depends on the material and manufacturer's instructions. Porous natural stone often needs suitable sealing; many porcelain tiles and epoxy grouts do not.

How much does tiling cost?

We provide project-specific quotes after assessing the area, tile size, preparation, access and finishing details. Tile supply, demolition, screed and waterproofing are identified separately where applicable.

How long will the work take?

The schedule depends on the scope and product curing times. We confirm the sequence and expected time before booking. Some membranes, adhesives and grouts need extended curing before use.

Can you match an existing tile?

We can assess matching options, but discontinued tiles, colour variation and different production batches can prevent an exact match. Spare original tiles are useful for repairs.

Do you provide plumbing and shower-screen installation?

Plumbing and shower-screen removal or reinstallation require suitable trades and are excluded unless explicitly arranged in the written quote.

What should I send for a quote?

Send your suburb, photos, approximate dimensions, tile size, wall tiling height and preferred timeframe. A site assessment may be needed before final pricing.
