Floor Tiling
Old tiles, vinyl or worn carpet removed and new floor tiles laid level in lounges, passages and bedrooms, with neat cuts at doorways and skirtings.
Plenty of Bellville homes still have the floors and bathroom tiles they were built with, and replacing them changes how the whole house feels. Our tilers lift the old, level the base and lay new tiles neatly, so send us photos and the room sizes for a written quote.

We tile floors, wet areas, kitchens and outdoor spaces, and we can supply the tiles or lay ones you have chosen.

Dated Bellville bathrooms stripped and retiled, with the shower area waterproofed before a single tile goes down.
Splashbacks behind the stove and counters tiled to brighten a kitchen without taking on a full renovation.
Covered patios, braai areas and entrance steps tiled with non-slip outdoor tiles that cope with baking summer heat and wet winter days.
A lot of Bellville houses were finished with vinyl, carpet or small ceramic tiles, and many now have cracked or hollow-sounding tiles where the bedding has let go over the years. Before laying anything new we check the screed underneath, because a level, solid base is what stops new tiles from cracking along the same lines.
Outside, patio tiles in Bellville bake in the summer and stay wet for long stretches in winter. Tiles that are not rated for outdoor use turn slippery in the rain, and too little room for expansion lets them lift when the sun heats them. We choose outdoor tiles and spacing to suit a patio that faces the afternoon sun.
We lift old flooring, repair or level the screed and lay new tiles in straight lines that carry from room to room. Large format tiles need a very flat base, so we check this before you commit to them.
Every shower is waterproofed before tiling, including the floor and the walls around it. We retile walls and floors, fit new edging, then grout and seal so water stays where it should.
Splashbacks, kitchen floors, patios and braai areas. Outside we use tiles made for the weather and give the surface a slight slope so rain runs off.
You are welcome to buy your own tiles, or we can supply them and include them in the quote. If you are buying yourself, send us the size and type before you pay, and allow a few extra boxes for cuts and breakages so you are not hunting for a matching batch halfway through the job.

Either works. We can supply the tiles and include them in your quote, or you can choose your own and we lay them.
Yes, always. The shower floor and walls are waterproofed first, because tiles and grout on their own do not stop water getting into the walls.
A standard bedroom or lounge usually takes a few days, including lifting the old floor, levelling and grouting. Bathrooms take longer because of the waterproofing, and we give you a timeline with the quote.
Yes. We use non-slip tiles made for outdoor use, leave expansion joints and give the surface a slight fall so water drains away in winter.
