Flooring & Tiling in Plettenberg Bay

Sandy feet coming in from the beach and wet swimsuits by the pool are part of life in Plett, and tiled floors need to cope with both. Our tilers lay durable, easy-to-clean floors, showers and outdoor areas that suit coastal living.

Tiling for Plettenberg Bay's Beach Lifestyle

Plettenberg Bay homes are built for indoor and outdoor living, with living areas opening onto patios, decks and pools that look out over the bay or the Keurbooms lagoon. Floors here take a lot of abuse from sand, salt water and pool water, especially in holiday homes that are full of guests during the season. Hard-wearing, slip-resistant tiles with stain-resistant grout make a big difference.

Plett’s humid climate and year-round rain also matter for tiling. Showers, outdoor showers and pool surrounds must be properly waterproofed and drained, and outdoor tiles need to be rated for frequent wetting. In older beach houses, we sometimes find that original tiles have lifted because of damp coming up through the floor, which needs to be dealt with before retiling.

What Our Tiling Team Does in Plettenberg Bay

Living areas

We remove old flooring where needed, level the base and lay new tiles across open-plan areas, matching levels at sliding doors to patios.

Wet areas

Bathrooms, en-suites and outdoor showers are waterproofed before tiling, with falls to the drain and neat finishing around fittings.

Pools and patios

Pool surrounds, patios and braai areas are tiled with non-slip outdoor tiles, laid with drainage falls and movement joints for coastal conditions.

What Affects the Cost of Flooring and Tiling in Plettenberg Bay

  • Removing old floors. Lifting existing tiles and clearing rubble adds labour and disposal.
  • Damp and floor condition. Damp or uneven floors need to be repaired before tiling.
  • Tile choice. You can supply your own tiles or we can supply them, and outdoor-rated tiles cost more.
  • Access and timing. Steep sites, estate rules and work around holiday bookings can affect scheduling.

Plettenberg Bay Flooring & Tiling FAQs

What tiles work best for a Plettenberg Bay beach house?

Hard-wearing, slip-resistant tiles with stain-resistant grout handle sand and wet feet best. Lighter colours also hide sand and dust well.

Can you tile around my pool in Plettenberg Bay?

Yes. We use outdoor, slip-resistant tiles around pools and lay them with falls so water drains away from the pool and the house.

Do you waterproof outdoor showers in Plett?

Yes. Outdoor showers are waterproofed and tiled just like indoor ones, with a proper fall to the drain.

Can I buy my own tiles for a tiling job in Plettenberg Bay?

Yes. Many owners choose their own tiles. We will tell you how many to buy, including extra for cuts and breakages.

Can you retile my Plett holiday home while I am away?

Yes. We arrange access and key collection, complete the work between your bookings and send you photos as we go.

Do you also work in Knysna, Wittedrift and Harkerville?

Yes. Our tilers also take on work in Knysna, Wittedrift and Harkerville, and along the coast at Keurboomstrand.
