Straight answers.

For quality work in our region, wall and floor tiling typically runs $100–$185 per square metre for standard and stone formats, with mosaics higher, plus waterproofing and any substrate preparation. A full bathroom renovation varies widely with size and specification — the honest answer comes from a site visit or detailed photos and measurements, which we turn into a written estimate quickly and for free.

Both. We run complete bathroom renovations — strip-out, substrate, waterproofing, tiling and coordination of plumbing, electrical and glass through trusted local trades — or tiling-and-waterproofing packages for your builder.

Wedi is a German building board system that is inherently waterproof and dimensionally stable — it removes the biggest failure point in a shower before tiling starts. We were one of the first companies in New Zealand to adopt it and have installed it for years.

Yes — pool refurbishment is one of our defining specialties. We strip, re-render and waterproof older concrete pools and retile in glass mosaic or porcelain, working to written specifications that meet manufacturer warranty requirements for immersion conditions.

Nearly always the system, not the tile: waterproofing that wasn't cured, the wrong adhesive for the material, a substrate that was never suitable, or missing movement joints. We diagnose and rectify failed work regularly — and build new work so it doesn't happen.

No. We're based centrally in Maungaturoto, so everywhere from Warkworth to Whangārei is our local area — under an hour away, no Auckland travel charges.

Yes. A large share of our work is for builders and construction companies who need specialist capability — large format porcelain, glass mosaic, stone cladding, pool tiling — with waterproofing documentation their sign-off can rely on.

Call whenever you're ready — including if that's now. Bathrooms typically book a few weeks out, urgent repairs and smaller jobs can often be slotted in quickly, and for pools and facades the answer depends on scope — so the sooner we talk, the sooner we can lock in a start date that works. We'll always tell you honestly what's achievable.

Yes. Tiled pool surfaces can qualify for warranties of up to 20 years, and other approved installations — bathrooms, facades, floors — for 15 to 20 years, where the specification meets the manufacturer's full system requirements. Not every build-up qualifies, and we tell you exactly what yours does before we start.
