Tiling questions, answered

Labour for standard floor tiling in Perth generally runs $45 to $90 per square metre, wall and wet area tiling $55 to $110, and large format or natural stone $70 to $130. Waterproofing, floor levelling and tile removal are priced separately. Your fixed quote is confirmed after we measure the job.

Either works. Most clients choose their own tiles from a Perth supplier and we lay them, which keeps selection completely open. If you would prefer, we can point you to suppliers we trust and help you calculate quantities including wastage.

Yes. We measure, supply and install frameless and semi frameless shower screens. Because the same team tiles the room and fits the screen, the screen is set out against the tiles rather than worked around them, which is where most of the silicone gaps and uneven reveals come from.

Sometimes, but it is rarely the right call in a wet area. It raises floor heights, complicates door clearances and hides any failing membrane underneath. We will assess the existing surface at the measure and tell you honestly which way to go.

Lippage is when the edge of one tile sits higher than the next. On 600×1200 and larger tiles even a small amount catches the light across the whole wall or floor and is impossible to miss once you have seen it. We use tile levelling systems and back butter large format tiles so the faces finish flush.
