Tiler in Kenmore.

Pool surrounds, outdoor areas and full bathroom renovations through Kenmore and the western suburbs.

Tiling in Kenmore.

Kenmore is family housing on larger blocks — a lot of it from the 1970s and 80s, much of it with a pool, and most of it now on its second or third round of renovation.

Two things come up constantly here. The first is pool surrounds: original 80s pool paving that has lifted, cracked or simply dated, replaced with a modern external porcelain and proper coping. The second is the main bathroom, which in a house of that age is usually the original room with the original membrane. Both are jobs where doing the invisible half properly is what makes the visible half last.

Tiling and waterproofing are done by the same crew, which is the part that decides whether a Kenmore wet area is still sound in ten years. Measures and written quotes cost nothing — call 0405 508 730 or send the job through and we will come and look at it.

Questions

Tiling in Kenmore, asked and answered.

Can you retile around an existing pool?

Yes, pool surrounds are one of our main Kenmore jobs. Coping and surround tiles take sun, chlorine and ground movement, so they need external-rated tile, proper falls away from the water and expansion joints. If the old surround has lifted, the cause is usually one of those three missing.

Our bathroom is original 80s. What does a full renovation involve?

Strip-out, new falls, a compliant membrane, then tiling, grouting and silicone. Bathrooms of that vintage in Kenmore typically have minimal or no waterproofing behind the tile, so the membrane is the part you are really paying for — the tile is just what you see.

Can you tile a courtyard or outdoor dining area?

Yes. Outdoor areas need fall away from the house, a membrane where they abut the building, and a tile with an outdoor slip rating. On the bigger Kenmore blocks these areas are large enough that movement joints matter too.

More questions on timing, tiles and waterproofing are on the FAQs page.
