Selecting the right bathroom tiling depends on style, durability, and how much maintenance fits your lifestyle. Below are popular materials homeowners often choose, each with distinct benefits and visual appeal:
Bathroom tiling in Sydney varies based on tile type, layout complexity, and bathroom size. On average, homeowners can expect to invest between $80 and $150 per square metre, including preparation and professional installation.
Premium finishes, custom designs, or intricate layouts may lift the cost bracket slightly, especially for large-format tiles or detailed mosaic work.
Choosing a qualified tiler ensures accurate waterproofing, neat alignment, and reduced long-term repair costs.
Step 1 – Preparation and Surface Assessment Old finishes are removed, walls and floors are levelled, and substrates are checked for moisture issues. Proper groundwork prevents cracks or tile movement later on.
Step 2 – Waterproofing Application A certified membrane is applied across wet zones. Corners, edges, and joints receive additional sealing to safeguard against leaks and dampness.
Step 3 – Layout Planning and Marking Measurements guide tile placement, ensuring clean lines and symmetry. Cutting points are mapped out for minimal waste and visual balance.
Step 4 – Setting and Grouting Tiles are fixed using high-grade adhesive, then joints are filled with grout chosen for colour and strength. Consistent spacing gives the surface a polished finish.
Step 5 – Final Cleaning and Quality Check Surfaces are wiped, edges sealed, and alignment inspected. This final stage confirms precision and guarantees the space is ready for daily use.
Yes. Tiling over existing bathroom tiles is possible when the current surface remains solid, level, and free from cracks or hollow sounds. Before proceeding, the area must be thoroughly cleaned to remove soap residue and oils that could weaken adhesion.
Professional tilers inspect the original layer carefully, applying a bonding primer or adhesive suitable for smooth substrates. This approach saves demolition time, reduces mess, and lowers labour costs.
However, it’s not suitable if tiles are loose, uneven, or conceal moisture damage.
Sydney’s coastal humidity and temperature shifts call for tiles that resist moisture, heat, and wear. Porcelain tiles top the list for local bathrooms — their dense structure and low absorption rate handle steam and splashes effortlessly.
Ceramic options remain popular for walls due to affordability and vast design selection, while textured finishes or matte surfaces improve slip resistance on floors.
For homeowners seeking a luxurious feel, natural stone varieties like marble or travertine add sophistication but need periodic sealing to maintain their finish.
Meanwhile, mosaic tiles excel in showers or feature walls, offering creative flexibility without overwhelming the space.
Yes. Our professional tilers manage full waterproofing before any tile is laid. This critical stage safeguards walls and floors from moisture penetration, preventing leaks, mould growth, and long-term structural damage.
Our licensed bathroom tiling team applies industry-approved membranes across all wet zones, including showers, baths, and splash areas. Corners, joints, and edges receive additional sealing for complete protection.
Once cured, the surface becomes the ideal base for flawless tile adhesion.
Epoxy grout is an excellent choice for bathrooms, especially in areas exposed to constant moisture or heavy cleaning. Unlike traditional cement-based varieties, it forms a dense, non-porous seal that resists stains, mould, and discolouration.
This makes it ideal for showers, floors, and splash zones that experience frequent water contact.
While epoxy grout costs more and takes skill to apply, the payoff lies in long-term durability and reduced maintenance. It keeps joints looking clean and intact even after years of use.
Selecting non-slip tiles for bathrooms and other wet zones requires balancing safety, comfort, and aesthetics. Start by checking the slip rating, usually marked as an R-value (R9–R13).
Higher ratings indicate a stronger grip — ideal for showers, floors, and entry points where surfaces often stay damp.
Textured finishes or matte glazes improve traction without sacrificing design appeal, while smaller formats like mosaics add extra grout lines that increase grip naturally.
Materials such as porcelain and stone-look options provide both style and function when chosen with the correct surface treatment.
Keeping tiles spotless and free from mould starts with regular maintenance and good ventilation. After each shower, open windows or run an exhaust fan to reduce humidity — moisture left lingering encourages mildew growth.
Use a gentle pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth weekly to remove soap film without dulling the finish. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can damage grout and tile surfaces.
For extra protection, apply a grout sealer annually to block water absorption and keep joints looking fresh.
Epoxy grout or high-quality sealants also help prevent discolouration, while professional deep cleaning every year restores shine and hygiene. Consistent care keeps your bathroom bright, healthy, and easier to maintain long-term.
