Tiling and Renovation FAQs
Straight answers about services, quotes and getting the work organised.
Services and Preparation
Ace handles wall and floor tiling, bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations, mosaics, minor surface preparation, outdoor, balcony and pool tiling. Pool work includes interiors, waterline tiles and coping. Wet-area waterproofing may be included when it forms part of preparing an area for Ace's tiling work.
No. Ace does not advertise stand-alone waterproofing. It may be included when it forms part of preparing a bathroom, laundry, balcony or other wet area for Ace tiling work.
Yes. Ace tiles pool interiors, waterline tiles and coping, as well as suitable tiled areas around the pool.
Sometimes. The existing tiles need to be firmly bonded and the extra height, levels and surrounding finishes all need to work. Wet areas may need closer inspection before the best approach can be confirmed.
Yes. When renovation work needs another trade, Ace can coordinate appropriately licensed subcontractors for the agreed work.
Quotes and Timing
Yes. Send through the suburb, the area you want tiled and any useful photos or plans. Ace will confirm whether a site inspection is needed and advise availability as soon as possible.
The size of the area, existing finishes, removal and preparation, tile choice, layout, access, waterproofing with tiling and the details around edges, falls and penetrations can all affect the quote.
That depends on the area, preparation, tile layout and whether other trades are involved. Ace will discuss the likely timing after seeing enough detail to understand the work.
Include the property suburb, the area you want tiled or renovated, approximate dimensions, current photos and any tile or finish choices already made. Plans are helpful for larger renovations.
Yes. Tell Ace which tiles you are considering so size, quantity, suitability and layout can be discussed before the work is booked.
Bathrooms, Kitchens and Renovations
The agreed work may include surface preparation, waterproofing with the tiling, floor and wall tiles, mosaics and coordination of licensed plumbers, electricians or carpenters. Discuss what you want to change so the quote reflects the proposed job.
Yes. Ace tiles suitable kitchen floors, splashbacks and selected walls. The layout is planned around cabinetry, benchtops, appliances and fittings.
Often, yes. The surfaces, clearances, edges, appliances and fittings need to be checked before the work is confirmed.
Consider the look you want, cleaning, grout lines and how the tile size works around corners and fittings. Discuss the layout with Ace and ask your tile supplier to confirm the product specifications.
Yes. Ace tiles bathroom walls, niches, mosaics and suitable feature areas. Edges, fittings and detailed cuts are considered when planning the layout.
Yes, where the tile and surface are suitable. Larger tiles can need more surface preparation and careful planning around levels and cuts.
Ace tiles suitable living areas, kitchens, laundries, hallways and other interior floors. Existing levels and transitions to adjoining rooms are checked before quoting.
The quote should make clear who supplies tiles, trims, grout and other materials. Discuss the colours and finishes before the work starts so everyone is working from the same selections.
Outdoor and Balcony Tiling
Ace tiles patios, courtyards, entries, paths, steps and outdoor living areas. The existing surface, falls and access help determine the work involved.
Consider exposure to weather, foot traffic, slip resistance, heat underfoot and cleaning. Your tile supplier can confirm whether a product is suitable for the intended area.
The existing surface needs to be checked for movement, damage, height changes and suitable falls. Ace will explain any removal or preparation needed before new tiles can be laid.
The surface, levels, falls, drainage, door thresholds, edges, exposure and access all need to be considered before the work is agreed.
If the tiling or renovation requires licensed drainage work, Ace can coordinate the trade and include the agreed work in the quote.
The agreed scope may include tile removal, surface preparation, waterproofing with the tiling, new balcony tiles and coordination of a licensed drainage trade where needed.
Send clear photographs when you enquire. The area may need further assessment before Ace can confirm a suitable tiling scope or provide a quote.
