We work across Adelaide. Call 0483 222 888 or send the form with your suburb.
We do wall and floor tiling and waterproofing. That includes screeding, splashbacks, porches, silicone and high-end tiling. If you only need the bathroom tiled or waterproofed, that's our work. A full bathroom renovation is a bigger job than tiling, and our bathroom tiling page explains where to go for that.
Bathrooms and waterproofing
Tiling and waterproofing are what we do, so the tiling and waterproofing in your bathroom is our work. If that's all you need, send us an enquiry.
Yes. If your bathroom, ensuite or shower needs tiling or waterproofing, that's our work. Just tell us which parts you'd like done.
Your suburb, which parts of the bathroom you want tiled, the tile if you've chosen one and roughly when you'd like to start. Photos help.
Sometimes. If the floor is uneven or needs falls to the waste, a screed gives you an even base with the right fall before we waterproof and tile. We'll tell you what yours needs when we talk through the job.
Yes. We do our own waterproofing and we don't subcontract it. In a wet area it goes on first, then we tile.
Yes. We do the waterproofing ourselves and it goes on before any tile.
Showers, bathrooms and other wet areas.
Yes. We do both, in the right order, so you only deal with us.
Tiling and preparation
The surface comes first. If the floor needs levelling or falls, we screed it. In wet areas we waterproof before any tile goes on. Then comes the tiling, grout and silicone, and a walk-through with you at the end.
Sometimes. If a slab is uneven, or a floor needs falls to a drain, a screed gives an even surface and the right falls before tiling. We'll tell you what your floor needs when we talk through the job.
Yes, choose the tile you like and we'll tell you if something affects the job. A very large tile needs a flatter surface, and an outdoor area needs a tile with more grip. It's best to talk to us before you buy.
Yes, feature walls are part of what we do. For mosaics, patterns and large tiles, see complex and high-end tiling.
Your suburb, the area you want tiled, the rooms and roughly how big they are, and when you'd like to start. Photos help, and we can ask for them when we reply.
It depends on the surface and how much height you can afford to add. We'll look at what's there when we talk through the job and tell you what we'd do.
Allow some extra for cuts and breakages, and more for patterned or diagonal layouts. We'll give you a figure once we know the layout.
