About Tiling in South Australia
Tiling covers floor and wall tiling for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, outdoor areas, swimming pools, and commercial spaces. Tiling is not a licensed trade in South Australia, but waterproofing inside wet areas (showers, bathrooms) requires compliance with the National Construction Code and AS 3740 — non-compliant waterproofing causes most bathroom tile failures.
Common tiling jobs in SA homes:
- Bathroom and ensuite full tile
- Kitchen splashback tiling
- Laundry tiling
- Floor tiling (kitchen, hallway, living areas)
- Outdoor entertaining area tiling
- Pool surround and coping
- Tile repair and replacement (matching old tiles)
- Regrouting (refreshes a tired-looking bathroom)
- Tile sealing (porcelain, natural stone)
- Heritage tile restoration (Victorian and Federation Adelaide homes)
What it usually costs: Wall tiling labour $50–$80 per sqm. Floor tiling labour $50–$90 per sqm. A standard bathroom retile (walls + floor, including waterproofing) typically $4,500–$9,000 labour only — tiles and materials supplied separately. Regrouting a shower $400–$800. Pool tile replacement $80–$150 per linear metre.
Hiring tips: The single most important question for a bathroom tile: who does the waterproofing? It must be done by someone with the appropriate qualification, and you should receive a certificate. Cheap tilers who skip or shortcut waterproofing cause water damage that costs $10,000+ to fix later. Always allow at least 24-48 hours for waterproofing to cure before tiling. For pool tiling, ask whether they use frost-resistant tiles and waterproof adhesive rated for submersion. Heritage tile work is a speciality — most modern tilers don't know how to source matching reproduction tiles.
