Bathroom Tiling in Adelaide

In a bathroom, the tiles are the part you see and the waterproofing is the part that protects your home. Under Australian Standard AS 3740, wet areas have to be waterproofed a specific way: the shower floor and walls, the perimeter of the room and around the bath all need the right membrane, falls and detailing. Get it wrong and the failure is slow, expensive and hidden.

This is where the cheapest quote often turns out to be the dearest. A cowboy operator who skips or rushes the waterproofing saves a day now and leaves you with rotten framing, lifting tiles and a full re-do in a few years. The tilers we refer do the waterproofing properly and can show you it was done to standard.

A bathroom is more than square metres of tile. It usually means preparing the substrate, setting out so cut tiles fall in sensible places, tiling the floor and walls, building the shower falls, waterproofing and grouting, plus fiddly detail work around the vanity, toilet, niche and window. Small room, lots of skill.

Because so much of the value is in the detail and the hidden work, a bathroom is exactly the kind of job where you want a vetted tiler rather than the first number in the directory. A good tiler will also coordinate around your plumber and any screen or vanity install so the sequence runs cleanly.

A full bathroom is one of the higher-value tiling jobs in a home, indicatively $2,500 to $6,500 or more depending on size, tile and complexity. That range is wide because bathrooms vary a lot, and because the quality of the waterproofing and prep, the part you cannot see, is where quotes really differ.

Comparing a few quotes on the same bathroom lets you see what is included and what is not, and spot the quote that is cheap because it is skipping something. We make that easy by matching you with vetted Adelaide tilers who quote on your actual room, so you are comparing like with like.
