Questions
Asked most often.
What areas do you cover?
Brisbane and the surrounding suburbs. It is a mobile business rather than a shopfront, so the van comes to the job — residential homes, renovations and commercial fit-outs right across the city. If you are on the edge of the map, call and ask; the answer is usually yes.
How long have you been tiling?
Around 20 years in the trade. Torrisi Tiling & Maintenance operates as Torrisi Tiling and Maintenance Pty Ltd, ABN 29 621 851 492, and has been trading under the Torrisi name for years — the work in the gallery on this site spans that time and is all our own.
Do you do the waterproofing as well as the tiling?
Yes, and we would rather do both. Waterproofing and tiling are one job, not two — when the same crew forms the falls, lays the membrane and then tiles over it, nothing falls through the gap between two trades. It is the single biggest reason a wet area lasts.
How long does a bathroom take?
A standard bathroom is usually a handful of days on site once it starts — strip-out and prep, waterproofing with time to cure, then tiling, grouting and silicone. The variable is almost always tile availability, so getting selections locked in early keeps it moving.
Do you supply the tiles or do I?
Either. Most clients choose and buy their own tiles from a supplier they like, and we advise on quantities, setout and what will actually work in the space. If you would rather we handled it, we can point you to suppliers and take it from there.
Can you fix silicone or grout without redoing the whole bathroom?
Yes — that is the maintenance half of the name. Cutting out failed or mouldy silicone, replacing movement joints, regrouting and sealing are jobs we do on their own. It is a fraction of the cost of a rebuild and it buys a wet area years.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Alongside houses and renovations we tile commercial fit-outs and shared spaces. The gallery includes commercial floor work as well as residential.
Do you do outdoor tiling and stone walls?
Both. Pool surrounds, courtyards, verandahs and external stairs are regular work, and we expanded into dry-stack stone and rock wall cladding on the back of demand for it — feature walls, fireplace surrounds and external faces.
