Yes. The starting point is the condition of the existing tiles, underlying surfaces and wet-area preparation. We discuss what needs to be removed and prepared before new tiling begins.

New bathrooms & renovations
A practical bathroom. A considered finish.
Your bathroom needs to work well every day and look right as a whole. Tile layout, floor levels, grout lines and the finish around fittings all contribute to the result.
We discuss the existing surfaces, your tile choices and the scope of the renovation before work begins. Bathroom floor tiling, wall tiling, shower niches and feature walls can be planned together for a consistent finish.
For an existing bathroom, the scope may include tile removal and replacement, screeding and surface preparation. Tell us about any damaged tiles, movement or moisture concerns so these can be considered before retiling.

Our approach
Start with what sits beneath the tiles.
A neat surface finish starts with suitable preparation. We look at the condition of the floor and walls, discuss the tile layout and include wet-area preparation in the agreed scope.
- Review existing tiles, surfaces and any signs of damage
- Discuss screeding, floor levels and shower drainage
- Plan waterproofing as part of bathroom or shower works
- Set out tiles around niches, fittings, edges and adjoining finishes

Frequently asked questions
Bathroom Tiling FAQs
Waterproofing is an important part of planning bathroom and shower works. We discuss what the area needs and how waterproofing will be included in the agreed tiling scope. New grout or silicone alone will not resolve an underlying waterproofing problem.
Shower niches, feature walls and floor-to-ceiling tiling can be included in your bathroom project. Share the layout and tile sizes so the cuts, joints and edges can be planned together.
You can discuss using your own tiles with us. Before ordering, confirm that the tile type, size, quantity and intended use suit the surfaces and layout.
The scope depends on the room, removal work, surface preparation and the materials being used. We discuss the sequence and timing for your bathroom, including drying and curing stages.
Tile Repairs & Regrouting may suit an isolated damaged tile or worn grout. The condition of the surrounding tiles and underlying surface determines whether a local repair is practical.
