Floor Tiling
Old tiles, parquet or carpet replaced with new floor tiles through living rooms, kitchens and passages in Tokai homes.
Many Tokai family homes still have their original floors and bathroom tiles, and a retile changes how the whole house feels. Our tilers lift, level and lay so the new floor looks good and stays sound for years.

Whether it is one bathroom or the whole ground floor, these are the tiling jobs we do in Tokai.
Old tiles, parquet or carpet replaced with new floor tiles through living rooms, kitchens and passages in Tokai homes.
Bathrooms and showers retiled with waterproofing underneath, an important step in homes where the damp winters already test the walls.
Neat splashbacks behind the hob and sink, cut carefully around windows, plugs and cupboards.
Patios, stoeps and braai areas tiled with grippy outdoor tiles and enough fall to clear the heavy rain that comes off the mountain.
Tokai’s established houses tend to have spacious living areas and generous outside spaces, and many owners are now creating open-plan kitchens and living rooms with one tiled floor running through. In older homes the original screed is often uneven, or there are several different floor levels where rooms were added over time, so preparation is key.
The wet winters near the mountain mean outdoor tiling needs careful planning. Patios and stoeps must shed water quickly, and tiles need to stay safe underfoot when damp leaves and rain are on them. Inside, bathrooms benefit from proper waterproofing, because moisture problems are common in this part of the southern suburbs.
We lift old floors, repair or level the screed and deal with differences in floor height between rooms so the new tiles run smoothly through doorways.
We lay floor tiles, bathroom walls and floors and kitchen splashbacks, with careful set-out and clean cuts around fittings and edges.
Patios, steps and braai areas are tiled with outdoor tiles, laid to a fall and grouted and sealed for the weather.
If you are retiling a Tokai bathroom, it is a good moment to replace a tired vanity, toilet or shower fitting at the same time, since everything is already being lifted and redone. Let us know what you have in mind and we will include it in one quote so the room is only out of use once.
