Flooring & Tiling in Fish Hoek

Tiling jobs in Fish Hoek often mean replacing what was put down decades ago. Here is the tiling and flooring work our team does in the area.

Floor Tiling

Floor Tiling

Old tiles, worn carpets and tired vinyl replaced with new tiled floors in Fish Hoek homes and flats, with uneven screeds levelled first so the finish is flat.

Bathroom & Shower Tiling

Bathroom & Shower Tiling

Dated bathrooms retiled and old baths swapped for low-step showers, with the shower waterproofed before tiling, a common request from older residents.

Kitchen Splashbacks

Kitchen Splashbacks

Splashbacks tiled behind hobs, sinks and counters to brighten an older Fish Hoek kitchen and give an easy surface to wipe down.

Patios & Outdoor Areas

Patios & Outdoor Areas

Stoeps, entrance steps and patios tiled with slip-resistant tiles that grip when wet, important on sloping Fish Hoek plots and close to the beach.

Flooring and Tiling in Older Fish Hoek Homes

A lot of Fish Hoek homes and flats still have their original floors: cracked ceramic tiles, worn parquet or thin carpet laid over uneven concrete. When these are lifted, the screed underneath is often out of level or cracked, and fixing it is the first step to a good new floor. Older bathrooms are often small, with baths that are hard to step into.

The coastal climate matters too. Salt air, sand carried in from the beach and long, wet winters mean floors and outside steps need tiles that are hard-wearing and safe when wet. Showers and bathroom floors need proper waterproofing, especially in flats where a leak can reach the unit below.

What Our Tiling Team Does in Fish Hoek

Lifting and levelling

We remove old tiles, carpet or vinyl, repair cracks and level the screed so the new floor sits flat and does not sound hollow or crack later.

Showers and bathrooms

We waterproof shower areas and bathroom floors, set the right fall to the drain and tile walls and floors, including low-step showers for easier access.

Kitchens, stoeps and steps

We tile splashbacks and kitchen floors, plus outside stoeps, steps and patios using slip-resistant tiles that are safer in the rain.

Safer Tiled Floors for Fish Hoek Retirees

For homes where older family members live, a few tiling choices make a real difference: matt or textured tiles in bathrooms, a low-step or level shower and even transitions between rooms. Tell us who uses the space and we will suggest tiles and layouts that are easy to keep clean and safer underfoot.

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

How Our Tiling Service Works in Fish Hoek

  1. Room details. Send photos, rough measurements and your street or block of flats in Fish Hoek.
  2. Written quote. We quote preparation, waterproofing and labour, and tiles too if you want us to supply them.
  3. Checking access. For flats we confirm lift or stair access for tiles and adhesive and where rubble can be stored, and for bigger rooms we visit to check the floor.
  4. Laying the tiles. We lift the old floor, prepare the base, waterproof wet areas, tile and grout, keeping dust down.
  5. Clean and handover. We clean the new floor, remove rubble and tell you when it is ready for full use.

What Affects the Cost of Flooring and Tiling in Fish Hoek

  • Removing the old floor. Lifting old tiles and levelling the screed adds time before new tiles go down.
  • Size of the area. Bigger floors need more material, though the rate often works out better.
  • Choice of tiles. We can supply tiles or you can buy your own, and large or patterned tiles take longer to lay.
  • Wet areas. Showers and outdoor areas need waterproofing and falls, which are included in the quote.

Fish Hoek Flooring & Tiling FAQs

Can you replace old tiles in a Fish Hoek home?

Yes. We lift the old tiles, fix and level the screed and lay the new floor. This gives a flat, solid finish that lasts.

Can you convert a bath to a shower in Fish Hoek?

Yes. We remove the bath, waterproof the area and tile a new shower, often with a low step for easier access. Plumbing changes are planned into the quote.

Do you tile in Fish Hoek flats?

Yes. We follow the building rules on noise and working hours and plan how materials come in and rubble goes out. Waterproofing is done carefully so nothing leaks into the flat below.

Can I buy my own tiles for my Fish Hoek job?

Yes. You can buy your own, or we supply them. We will tell you how many square metres to order, with some extra for cuts and future repairs.

What are the best tiles for outside steps in Fish Hoek?

Use slip-resistant outdoor tiles, ideally with a textured finish. They grip better when wet, which matters near the beach and on sloping plots.

Do you also work in Kommetjie, Sun Valley and Simon's Town?

Yes. Our tiling team also works in Kommetjie, Sun Valley, Simon's Town and the rest of the Far South Peninsula.
