Flooring & Tiling in Bellville

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.

Flooring and Tiling in Bellville Homes

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.

What Our Tiling Team Does in Bellville

Floors through the house

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.

Bathrooms and showers

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.

Kitchens and outdoor spaces

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.

Choosing Tiles for Your Bellville Tiling Project

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.

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

How Our Tiling Service Works in Bellville

  1. Photos and measurements. Send pictures of the room and rough sizes, along with your street in Bellville.
  2. Quote. We send a written quote, including whether we supply the tiles or you do.
  3. Site check. We measure and check the floor level. For flats near the Bellville CBD we sort out parking, lift use and a spot to cut tiles where we will not block common areas.
  4. Tiling. We lift, prepare, waterproof wet areas, lay and grout.
  5. Handover. The floor is cleaned, grout is sealed where needed, and we tell you when it can take full traffic.

What Affects the Cost of Tiling in Bellville

  • Area and tile size. Bigger rooms take longer, and very large or very small tiles need more careful cutting.
  • Removing old flooring. Lifting old tiles or glued-down vinyl adds labour and rubble removal.
  • Floor condition. Uneven or damaged screed has to be levelled before tiling.
  • Tile supply. If we supply the tiles they are listed in the quote, and if you supply them we price labour only.

Bellville Flooring & Tiling FAQs

Can you tile over existing tiles in my Bellville house?

Sometimes. If the old tiles are firmly bonded and level we may be able to tile over them, but hollow or cracked tiles have to come up first. We tap-test the floor and tell you which option will last.

Do you supply tiles for Bellville jobs, or must I buy my own?

Either works. We can supply the tiles and include them in your quote, or you can choose your own and we lay them.

Do you waterproof showers before tiling in Bellville?

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.

How long does it take to tile a room in Bellville?

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.

Can you tile a patio in Bellville?

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.

Do you also work in Durbanville, Parow and Brackenfell?

Yes. Our tilers work across the Northern Suburbs, including Durbanville, Parow, Brackenfell and Goodwood.
