Expert Wall Tiling Sydney

We install a wide range of wall tiles including ceramic, porcelain, natural stone (marble, travertine, slate), glass, mosaic, subway, and decorative tiles. We can help you select the best option based on the room's function, your aesthetic preferences, and budget.

The duration depends on the size of the area, complexity of the pattern, and type of tiles. As a general guide, a standard bathroom wall (approximately 15-20m²) typically takes 2-3 days for complete installation including preparation, tiling, grouting, and finishing. We always provide a specific timeframe estimate for your project before starting work.

Wall tiling costs in Sydney typically range from $65-$120+ per square metre depending on factors such as tile type, size, pattern complexity, wall preparation required, and site accessibility. Complex patterns like herringbone or mosaic installations may cost more due to additional labour and material waste. We provide detailed, transparent quotes based on your specific requirements. See our complete tiling cost guide for detailed pricing breakdowns.

Yes, we provide certified waterproofing services for bathroom walls and other wet areas. Waterproofing is required before tiling in wet areas under Australian Standards (AS 3740) to prevent moisture damage. Our waterproofing comes with full certification.

In some cases, it's possible to tile over existing wall tiles if they're solidly fixed, and there are no moisture issues or significant unevenness. However, we generally recommend removing old tiles for the best results, especially in wet areas. We assess each situation individually to determine the most appropriate approach for your project. See our tile over or tear out guide for the full pros and cons.

Ceramic tiles are made from clay fired at lower temperatures, making them more affordable and easier to cut but somewhat less durable than porcelain. Porcelain tiles are fired at higher temperatures, resulting in a denser, less porous tile that's more resistant to moisture and stains. Both come in a wide variety of designs and finishes, suitable for different applications and budgets. Read our porcelain vs ceramic tile comparison for a detailed breakdown.

For regular maintenance, simply wipe down tiled walls with a damp cloth and mild pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can damage grout and tile surfaces. For natural stone tiles, use only cleaners specifically formulated for stone. We provide specific maintenance instructions for your particular tile type upon completion of your project.
