Workmanship & Preparation

How We Approach Precision Tiling

Quality tiling starts before any adhesive is mixed. We map every wall and floor plane with cross-line lasers so grout joints align cleanly across shower niches, vanity centrelines, windows, and floor wastes.

Whether laying 600x600 rectified porcelain, 1200x600 large-format wall slabs, or feature mosaic tiles, we back-butter tiles for full bed contact and use mechanical levelling clips to keep adjacent edges flat.

Included in Our Scope

  • Symmetrical tile set-out planned around niches, vanities, and sightlines
  • Mechanical clip levelling systems to eliminate lippage between tiles
  • 45-degree mitred tile edges or architectural metal trims on external corners
  • Mould-resistant grout and colour-matched flexible perimeter silicone

Common Questions

Wall & Floor Tiling FAQs

Do you offer 45-degree mitred edges on shower niches and external walls?

Yes. For rectified porcelain and stone tiles, we can cut and dress 45-degree mitred external corners or install slimline metal tile trims in matte black, brushed nickel, brass, or chrome.

Why is floor screeding important before laying large bathroom tiles?

Large-format tiles require a flat, rigid plane with accurate falls toward the floor waste. A graded sand-cement screed corrects uneven slabs or subfloors and prevents water from pooling.

Why do you use silicone instead of grout in internal corners?

Rigid grout in wall-to-Wall or wall-to-floor corners will crack over time as the building settles. We finish all internal movement junctions with colour-matched flexible sanitary silicone.

Can you tile over existing tiles?

In wet areas like showers, we recommend stripping back to the substrate so waterproofing membranes and drainage falls can be properly inspected and renewed.
