Flooring & Tiling in Kuils River

In a Kuils River family home, tiled floors carry a lot of traffic, from school shoes to the dog coming in from the garden. Our tilers lay floors, bathrooms and patios that are built to handle it.

Tiling Projects in Kuils River Homes

Many Kuils River homes have their original tiles, and in houses that are a couple of decades old they are often dated, chipped or starting to lift. Common causes are a weak screed underneath, movement in the slab or not enough expansion space around the edges of the room. Replacing a floor is the time to fix these issues properly.

Outdoor living is a big part of life here, with braais on the stoep through the long, warm summers. Outdoor tiles need to be slip-resistant, able to handle direct sun and laid so rainwater runs away from the house. In newer estate homes, owners often want to extend tiling from the living room out onto the patio for a continuous look.

What Our Tiling Team Does in Kuils River

Removing and preparing

We lift old tiles, remove the rubble, check the screed and level any uneven areas so the new tiles have a solid, flat base.

Bathrooms and showers

Shower areas are waterproofed before tiling, and we set the floor to fall towards the drain. We also tile bathroom walls and floors to the height you choose.

Outdoor tiling

Stoeps, patios and braai areas are tiled with outdoor-rated tiles, with a slight fall for drainage and movement joints to handle temperature changes.

What Affects the Cost of Flooring and Tiling in Kuils River

  • Old tile removal. Lifting and disposing of existing tiles adds time and a rubble load.
  • Screed repairs. Uneven or broken screed must be repaired before new tiles go down.
  • Who supplies the tiles. You can buy your own tiles, or we supply them and include them in the quote.
  • Size of the area. Larger rooms and outdoor areas need more materials and labour.

You get a written quote before any work starts. See our main flooring and tiling Cape Town page for more about our tiling services.

Kuils River Flooring & Tiling FAQs

Why are the tiles in my Kuils River home lifting?

Tiles usually lift because of a weak screed, poor adhesive coverage or no expansion gaps at the edges. When we retile, we fix the base and leave proper gaps so it does not happen again.

Can you tile my stoep or braai area in Kuils River?

Yes. We use outdoor, slip-resistant tiles and lay them with a fall so water runs away from the house.

Do you waterproof showers before tiling in Kuils River?

Yes. Every shower we tile is waterproofed first, which protects the walls and floor from water damage.

Can I supply my own tiles for a job in Kuils River?

Yes. Many clients buy their own tiles. We will tell you how much to buy, including a little extra for cuts.

Can you tile a kitchen splashback in Kuils River?

Yes. A new splashback is a quick way to update a kitchen. We cut neatly around plug points and finish with even grout lines.

Do you also work in Brackenfell, Bellville and Blue Downs?

Yes. Our tilers work in surrounding suburbs too, including Brackenfell, Bellville, Blue Downs and Eerste River.
