Flooring & Tiling in Mossel Bay

Sandy feet, wet swimwear and windy patios are part of life in Mossel Bay, and tiles handle them better than most floors. Our tilers lay hard-wearing floors and outdoor areas, using tiles we supply or ones you have chosen.

Choosing and Laying Tiles for Mossel Bay Homes

In a seaside town like Mossel Bay, floors take a lot of punishment. Sand is carried in from the beach and acts like sandpaper on soft flooring, and wet feet and swimwear mean bathrooms, passages and patios are often damp. Tiles are a practical choice, but they need to be the right type and laid correctly.

Outdoors, many homes have balconies, patios and braai areas facing the bay. These are exposed to wind, salt and sun, so outdoor tiles need good grip when wet, a proper slope to drain, and movement joints so they do not crack or lift as temperatures change.

What Our Tiling Team Does in Mossel Bay

Inside floors

We remove old flooring, level the screed and lay tiles that suit busy, sandy family and holiday use, with neat cuts at doorways and skirtings.

Bathrooms and showers

Every shower is waterproofed before tiling and laid with a fall to the drain. We also tile outdoor showers for rinsing off after the beach.

Balconies and patios

Exposed outdoor areas get slip-resistant tiles, proper drainage and expansion joints, and we check the waterproofing underneath on balconies before tiling.

Tiling a Mossel Bay Balcony Over a Room

When a balcony sits above a bedroom or lounge, the waterproofing underneath matters as much as the tiles. We check and redo the waterproofing before laying new tiles, so wind-driven rain does not end up leaking into the room below.

Our team also does handyman services in Mossel Bay, painting in Mossel Bay, building and renovations in Mossel Bay and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

What Affects the Cost of Flooring & Tiling in Mossel Bay

  • Area and cuts. Large open floors are quicker than small rooms with many cuts.
  • Removing old flooring. Lifting tiles and repairing the screed adds time.
  • Waterproofing. Showers and balconies need waterproofing before tiling.
  • Tile choice. Large-format, natural stone and outdoor tiles take more care to lay.

Mossel Bay Flooring & Tiling FAQs

Do you do tiling in Mossel Bay?

Yes. Our tilers work in Mossel Bay homes, flats and holiday houses, on floors, bathrooms, kitchens and patios. Send photos and sizes for a written quote.

What are the best floor tiles for a Mossel Bay beach house?

Hard-wearing porcelain tiles with a matt or textured finish cope well with sand and wet feet. Very glossy tiles show scratches and can be slippery.

Can I supply my own tiles for a job in Mossel Bay?

Yes. You can buy your own tiles or we can supply them. We check the type and quantity before starting so the job is not held up.

Can you retile a leaking balcony in Mossel Bay?

Yes. We lift the old tiles, redo the waterproofing and lay new outdoor tiles with the right fall so water drains away.

Do you waterproof showers before tiling?

Always. A waterproofing layer goes down before the tiles so water cannot get into the walls or floor.

Do you also tile in Hartenbos, Dana Bay and Great Brak River?

Yes. Our tiling team also works in Hartenbos, Dana Bay, Great Brak River and Reebok.
