Frequently Asked Questions About Bathroom Tiling in Ingleburn
How much does bathroom tiling cost in Australia?
Bathroom tiling is usually quoted as part of a broader bathroom renovation, which runs $15,000 to $35,000 in Australia including tiles, waterproofing and fixtures. Porcelain floor tiles cost $28.90 to $125 per square metre and wall tiles $14 to $58.90 per square metre, plus adhesive and grout, before installation labour is added.
Do you need to waterproof a bathroom before tiling?
Yes. Wet areas like showers and floors need a waterproof membrane applied and cured before any tiles go down, because tiles and grout alone are not watertight. Skipping this step risks leaks into walls and subfloors down the track. A liquid membrane plus primer typically costs a few hundred dollars in materials for a small bathroom.
Can you tile over existing bathroom tiles?
Tiling over existing tiles is possible if the old tiles are sound, flat and well bonded, using a suitable primer and adhesive. It adds height to the floor and is not recommended in wet areas without fresh waterproofing underneath. Most tilers prefer removing old tiles first to check for hidden damage or mould.
How much does tiling cost per square metre in Australia?
Tiling labour typically costs $45–$120/m² depending on tile size, pattern complexity, and location. Large format tiles (600x600+) cost more due to difficulty of installation. Supply and install packages including tiles range from $80–$200/m².
What is the difference between ceramic and porcelain tiles?
Porcelain tiles are denser, less porous, and more durable than ceramic — making them better for floors and wet areas. Ceramic tiles are lighter, easier to cut, and typically cheaper, making them suitable for wall applications and lower-traffic areas.
How long does tiling take to dry before use?
Standard tile adhesive takes 24–48 hours to set before grouting. Grout cures in 24 hours for foot traffic, but allow 72 hours before full use of showers. Epoxy grout cures faster but is harder to work with.
What size grout joint should I use?
Rectified tiles can use joints as small as 1.5–2mm. Non-rectified tiles need 3–5mm joints to accommodate size variation. Large format tiles typically use 3mm joints minimum. Your tiler will recommend the right joint for your tile type.
How do I prevent grout from cracking?
Use flexible grout in corners and movement joints rather than standard rigid grout. Ensure the substrate is solid and level. Avoid walking on tiles before adhesive fully cures. Sealing grout annually helps prevent moisture ingress and staining.
