Bathroom Tiling and Retiling in Randburg

Old tiles cracked, grout gone black, or just ready for a fresh look? Bathroom tiling is not just about sticking tiles to a wall — it starts with proper waterproofing and ends with grout that lasts years, not months.

"The previous tiler did the bathroom three years ago. Now the grout is crumbling, tiles are lifting, and there is water getting behind the wall."

A Northcliff homeowner had their bathroom tiled by a general handyman three years earlier. The tiles looked great initially. But the waterproofing was skipped. The grout was mixed wrong — too much water, too little adhesive. Within two years, grout lines were crumbling, tiles were hollow-sounding, and moisture was seeping behind the wall tiles into the brickwork.

We stripped it back to bare wall, applied proper waterproofing membrane to all wet areas, and retiled with quality adhesive and epoxy grout. Three years later — still perfect. The lesson: good tiling starts behind the tile, not on the surface.

Shower Area Tiling

Shower walls and floors need the highest standard of waterproofing and tiling. We apply waterproofing membrane to all shower surfaces, install proper falls on shower floors for drainage, and use epoxy grout that resists moisture and mould.

  • Correct floor falls for drainage
  • Epoxy grout for wet areas
  • Niche and shelf tiling
  • Frameless shower compatibility

Our Tiling Process

1

Assessment & Strip

We inspect the existing tiling, check for moisture damage behind tiles, and assess the substrate condition. If retiling, we carefully remove old tiles, clean the surface, and repair any damage to the wall or floor substrate.

2

Waterproofing & Preparation

Before a single tile goes on, we apply waterproofing membrane to all wet areas — shower walls, shower floor, around the bath, and the bathroom floor. We level uneven surfaces and install correct floor falls in shower areas.

3

Tiling, Grouting & Sealing

Tiles are laid with quality adhesive in the correct pattern. We use spacers for consistent grout lines, check level continuously, and finish with appropriate grout — epoxy in wet areas for long-lasting, mould-resistant joints. Silicone sealing on all junctions.

Why Our Tiling Work Lasts

Waterproofing Comes First

The most common tiling failure is not the tiles — it is missing or poor waterproofing underneath. We apply proper waterproofing membrane to all wet areas before tiling. This prevents moisture penetration, mould growth, and structural damage behind your tiles.

  • Waterproofing membrane on all wet areas
  • Shower walls fully sealed
  • Floor membrane with upturns
  • Prevention of structural damage

Plumber + Tiler = No Coordination Problems

Most bathroom tiling jobs involve plumbing — moving a shower valve, replacing a bath mixer, repositioning taps. Because we are plumbers who tile, the plumbing and tiling happen in the right sequence with no coordination delays between trades.

  • Plumbing changes done correctly
  • No waiting for different trades
  • Valves and taps positioned first
  • Tiling around plumbing done neatly

Quality Materials and Technique

We use premium tile adhesive matched to the tile type and substrate. Epoxy grout in wet areas (not cement grout that cracks and moulds). Stainless steel trim on exposed edges. Silicone at all junctions. The finish details matter as much as the tile itself.

Bathroom Tiling Across Randburg

Older Fairland homes often have tiles on face brick that need careful removal. Parkhurst and Linden bathrooms from the 1960s-70s may have asbestos-containing adhesive — we identify this and advise accordingly. Northcliff newer builds typically have easier substrates.

We also serve Greenside, Bordeaux, Ferndale, and Blairgowrie. Whether your bathroom is a 1970s original or a recent renovation that was done poorly, we have the experience to get the tiling right.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do you supply the tiles or do I buy them?

You buy the tiles. You choose the colour, pattern, and style that suits your bathroom. We advise on quantity (always buy 10% extra for cuts and future repairs), tile size compatibility with your bathroom dimensions, and which tiles work best for floors versus walls.

How long does bathroom retiling take?

A standard bathroom retile (strip, waterproof, tile walls and floor) takes 5-7 working days. Shower-only retiling takes 3-4 days. These timelines include waterproofing cure time, which cannot be rushed.

How much does bathroom tiling cost in Randburg?

Tiling labour (excluding tiles) typically costs R350-R550 per square metre for walls and R400-R600 per square metre for floors. A full bathroom retile with waterproofing, old tile removal, and grouting ranges from R15,000-R35,000 depending on bathroom size and complexity.

Can you retile over existing tiles?

Sometimes, but we generally do not recommend it. Tiling over old tiles adds thickness (affecting door clearance and fittings), and if the old tiles are not perfectly bonded, the new tiles will fail too. Proper removal, waterproofing, and fresh tiling gives a result that lasts decades.

Do you do waterproofing as part of the tiling?

Always in wet areas. Waterproofing is not optional — it is the foundation of good tiling work. We apply waterproofing membrane to all shower walls, shower floors, around baths, and the bathroom floor. Without it, moisture gets behind tiles and causes structural damage over time.
