What Goes Into Your Tiling Project
-
![]()
Demolition & Removal
Before new tiles can be installed, the old surface needs to be removed. This includes taking out old tiles, adhesives, and sometimes screed or cement beds. At Paiva Tiling Co, we ensure safe removal with proper disposal of waste so your space is ready for the next stage.
💰 Estimated cost: $25–$50 per m² -

Waterproofing
A vital step in wet areas like bathrooms, laundries, and balconies. Waterproofing protects your home from leaks and water damage by applying a membrane under the tiles. At Paiva Tiling Co, we coordinate licensed waterproofers to ensure all work meets Australian Standards.
💰 Estimated cost: $40–$70 per m². -

Screeding
Screeding is essential when the subfloor isn’t perfectly level. We apply a cement-based screed bed (usually 15–20mm thick) to create a smooth and even base. In bathrooms and balconies, we add gradients to ensure correct drainage and long-term water resistance.
💰 Estimated cost: $40–$80 per m² -

Tiling Installation
From bathrooms and kitchens to outdoor areas, we install all types of tiles including mosaics, subway, porcelain, and large-format slabs. We ensure clean lines, durable finishes, and a modern look for every project.

Grouting
Grouting seals the gaps between tiles and enhances the final look of your project. We use premium, mould-resistant grout in colours that complement your tiles, whether it’s crisp white, grey, or custom shades. Regrouting is also available as part of our tile repair services.

Silicone Sealing
Silicone provides flexibility where tiles meet walls, ceilings, or joinery. Unlike grout, silicone absorbs movement and prevents cracking. It’s essential in bathrooms, laundries, and kitchens to stop water leaks. At Paiva Tiling Co, we apply colour-matched, mould-resistant silicone for a professional finish.
💰 Estimated cost: $5–$10 per linear metre -

Plumbing (If Required)
Many tiling projects—especially bathroom renovations—require licensed plumbing. This includes moving pipes, changing tap positions, or installing new fixtures. While we focus on tiling, we coordinate trusted licensed plumbers to streamline the job.
💰 Estimated cost: $100–$150 per hour -

Electrical Work (If Required)
Adding tiles sometimes goes hand-in-hand with updating your bathroom or kitchen lighting. If you need power points relocated, underfloor heating installed, or LED lighting fitted, our electricians ensure it’s done safely and up to Australian Standards.
💰 Estimated cost: $80–$130 per hour -

Carpentry Work (If Required)
Before tiling, some spaces need carpentry adjustments. This could include reinforcing floors, adjusting door frames, or building niche shelving into bathrooms. Our carpentry partners help us deliver a smooth workflow so your project finishes on time.
💰 Estimated cost: $70–$120 per hour
