Find a professional tiler in Illawarra

One consideration when upgrading your kitchen or doing bathroom renovations is your tile options. Whether you're installing a new one, replacing an old set, or repairing cracked tiles, experienced tilers in your area can provide you with quality wall and floor tiling service.

In case your tiling materials are too big for your space, they can also trim and cut them down to fit. Here's a better overview of the tiling services you can get and what to expect from each when hiring tilers in your area for your projects:

Floor tiling

Need to upgrade the look of your floors and walls? Wall and floor tilers can skillfully lay down floor tiles so that they'll look glorious and sturdy for years to come. They can fix tiles on almost any surface, as long as they're clean, flat, and dry. If you have uneven flooring, consider hiring a flooring expert to efficiently level the surface and throw away all sorts of premature problems that may arise in the future. 

They start by applying adhesive, then lay tiles usually from the centre point to each corner. Your Tasker may also use a tile spacer to even out the spacing. Once your new tiles are all set, you'll need to wait a specific time before you can fully enjoy your tiled room. Most of the time, it takes a day or two, but you can always confirm it with your tiler.

When working in a wet room, waterproofing the surface is important before the installation. That way, you can have absolute confidence knowing that your tiles will remain water-resistant for long and the joints will not leak.

Tile cutting

Your tiles come in different sizes and patterns. Unless you have purchased a bespoke tiling set for bathrooms and kitchens, you'll need the help of a tile cutter who can precisely cut an entire tile and have them fit the last sections of your wall or floor, or around an obstacle like a pipe or your toilet bowl. The exact method and tools to be used will depend on the type of tiles you have.

Usually, the first measure and create a clear guideline to ensure precise cutting. They may use a diamond blade tile cutter for natural stone surfaces, or a tile scorer for ceramic tiles. If the cut isn't clean, they can also smooth and wipe down the edges with a tile file or any other helpful tool.

Regrouting 

If retiling isn't an option for you, you can always spruce up your old and grubby bathroom or kitchen spaces through regrouting. Your wall and floor tilers can cover the entire process–from old grout removal and reapplication to cleaning and doing finishing touches. Feel free to personally choose the type of grout depending on the scope of applications. Ready-mixed tubes are ideal for small areas, whilst powdered grout is best for medium to larger scales.
