Tilers Melbourne

All Melbourne Handyman provides wall and floor tiling across Melbourne, from a full bathroom to a kitchen splashback or a handful of cracked tiles. Our tilers prepare the surface properly, waterproof wet areas before a tile goes down, and finish with clean grout lines and sealed joints.

Tiling Services

Tiling Services in Melbourne

We tile bathrooms, showers, kitchens, laundries, living areas and outdoor spaces for homes and businesses. The work covers ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, terracotta and mosaic tiles, in sizes from small subway tiles to large-format floor tiles.

Because we are a handyman business as well as tilers, one team handles repairs and the trade work. If the wall behind the old tiles is soft, the plaster has blown or the floor has a dip, we fix it before tiling starts, under the same quote.

We start every job with a free consultation on tile selection, covering the material, colour, size and pattern that suit the room and how it is used.

Choosing the right tile

Each tile type suits different rooms and budgets:

Ceramic

Affordable and easy to cut, ideal for walls and splashbacks.

Porcelain

Denser and harder than ceramic, with low water absorption, so it suits floors, showers and outdoor areas.

Natural stone

Marble, travertine and slate give a distinctive finish but need sealing to resist stains and moisture.

Mosaic

Small tiles on a mesh backing, good for shower floors and feature walls because they follow a fall easily.

Large format

Fewer grout lines and a cleaner look, but they need a very flat substrate to avoid lippage, where one tile edge sits higher than the next.

Floor Tiling

Floor Tiling in Melbourne

A tiled floor is only as good as the surface under it. Before laying, we check the floor for level and movement. Low spots are screeded or self-levelled, and loose or damaged boards are fixed so the tiles do not crack later.

We lay floor tiles in kitchens, living areas, hallways, bathrooms and laundries, and outdoors on patios and alfresco areas. Outdoor and wet-area floors need a slip-resistant tile and enough fall for water to drain away from the house or towards the floor waste.

Large-format tiles need extra care. We use the right trowel size and a levelling system so the edges sit flush, and we leave movement joints where the floor needs them.

Bathrooms & Showers

Bathroom Tiling in Melbourne

Bathroom tiling starts with waterproofing. We apply a waterproof membrane to the shower recess, the floor and the wall junctions, and let it cure fully before any tiles go on. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the membrane is what protects the frame and subfloor.

Showers need the floor to fall to the waste so water drains without pooling. We screed the shower base to the right fall, then tile the floor and walls. Niches, feature walls and full-height tiling are all planned before the first tile is set, so the layout lines up.

Once the tiles are set, we grout, then silicone every change of plane, such as where the wall meets the floor or the bath. Silicone flexes as the house moves, so those joints do not crack the way grout would.

If you are updating a laundry at the same time, see our laundry renovations in Melbourne page.

Kitchens, Laundries & Outdoors

Kitchen, Laundry and Outdoor Tiling

Tiling suits any room where water, grease or heavy foot traffic would damage another finish.

Kitchen splashbacks. Wall tiles behind the cooktop and sink, set out so cuts sit evenly at each end.
Laundry floors and walls. Waterproofed, tiled and sealed to handle splashes and the odd overflow.
Living areas and hallways. Durable floor tiles that are easy to clean.
Outdoor areas. Porcelain or stone on patios, alfresco areas and around pools, laid with falls away from the house.
Commercial spaces. Shops, offices and rental properties, scheduled to limit disruption.

Every job includes removing old tiles where needed, preparing and levelling the surface, custom layout, grouting and sealing.

Tiling, Waterproofing and Repairs by One Team

Tile Repairs and Regrouting

Not every tiling problem needs a full retile. We repair existing tiled surfaces so they look right and stop water getting where it should not.

Cracked or chipped tiles. Removed and replaced, matched as closely as possible to the existing tiles. Keep any spare tiles from the original job, because they give the best match.
Drummy tiles. Tiles that sound hollow when tapped have lost their bond. We lift and relay them before they crack.
Regrouting. Old, stained or crumbling grout is raked out and replaced, which refreshes the look and closes gaps that let water in.
Silicone replacement. Mouldy or split silicone around baths, showers and benchtops is cut out and resealed.
Tile cleaning and restoration. Deep cleaning and resealing of grout and stone to bring tired tiles back.

Water stains on a ceiling or skirting below a shower usually mean water is getting past the tiles. Call 0422 094 891 and we will look at the cause before the damage spreads.

How We Work

Our Tiling Process

Consultation and quote. We measure the area, talk through tile choice and layout, and give you a free, no-obligation quote.
Preparation. Old tiles come off, and the walls and floor are repaired, levelled or screeded as needed.
Waterproofing. Wet areas get a membrane, left to cure before tiling.
Set-out and tiling. We plan the layout so cuts are balanced, then lay the tiles level and flush.
Grout, silicone and sealing. Joints are grouted, changes of plane are siliconed, and stone or porous tiles are sealed.
Clean-up. We clean the tiles and the work area before we leave.

One team, one quote

Wall repairs, waterproofing and tiling are done by the same crew, under one quote.

What Affects the Cost of Tiling

The price of a tiling job depends on:

Area. The number of square metres on the floor and walls.
Tile type and size. Stone, large-format and mosaic tiles take longer to lay than standard ceramic.
Layout. Herringbone and other patterns need more cuts than a straight lay.
Preparation. Removing old tiles, screeding and wall repairs add time.
Waterproofing. Showers and wet areas need a membrane and curing time.
Access and finishing. Niches, trims, external corners and sealing all add detail work.

Every quote is itemised, so you can see what is included before any work starts.

A recent job in South Melbourne

A recent project was a bathroom near South Melbourne Town Hall. The work included tiling the walls, floor and shower area in a white subway tile with grey grout.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do tilers charge in Melbourne?

The cost depends on the area, the tile type and size, the layout and how much preparation the surface needs. Wet areas also need waterproofing. We give a free, itemised quote after measuring the job, so the price reflects your actual work.

Can you tile over existing tiles?

Sometimes. If the old tiles are firmly bonded, level and not in a shower, tiling over them can work with the right primer and adhesive. It raises the floor height, and it is not suitable where the old tiles are drummy or the waterproofing is in doubt, so we check before recommending it.
