Brisbane Tiling Guide

Tiling services in Brisbane

A quick guide to the tiling jobs we see most, and what to tell the tiler about each.

  • Bathrooms: is it a full strip-out or a retile? Mention any leaks or soft spots in the floor.
  • Splashbacks: measure the length and height and note where the power points sit.
  • Floors: say what’s underneath now (timber, slab, old tiles or vinyl) because prep differs a lot.
  • Repairs and regrouting: a few photos, plus how long the problem has been there, go a long way.
  • Waterproofing: ask who lays the membrane and whether it’s inspected before tiles go down.
  • Outdoors: falls, drainage and slip resistance count more than the colour.

A damp-smelling ensuite usually means water is getting past the tiles. Find out why before paying for a cosmetic retile.

Safety & licensing. Wet-area waterproofing must meet the applicable Australian Standards. Ask the trade which system they use.
Enquiries go to Taylor Made Media first. We may pass your details to a tiler for the finish; wet-area membranes may need a licensed waterproofing contractor.
