Tiling in Australia ranges from $20 for basic services like floor tiling to $10,000 for major projects like full bathroom tiling. Prices include GST. Labour only unless noted — tiles supplied separately.
The most common tile types are ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone. Ceramic tiles are the most affordable, while porcelain offers better durability and water resistance. Natural stone (marble, travertine, slate) is premium-priced. Mosaic tiles are used for feature walls and decorative areas. For wet areas, always choose tiles with appropriate slip ratings.
Yes — waterproofing is essential (and legally required in most regions) under tiles in wet areas such as bathrooms, showers, and laundries. A waterproofing membrane is applied before tiling and must be inspected in many jurisdictions. Skipping waterproofing can lead to costly water damage. Budget $30–$60 per sqm for waterproofing.
Grout should be sealed after installation to prevent staining and moisture penetration. Clean grout regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner — avoid bleach or acidic products that can erode grout. Re-seal grout every 1–2 years in wet areas. Cracked or crumbling grout should be raked out and replaced promptly to prevent water ingress behind tiles.
