General

About our tiling service

What suburbs and regions does Century Tiling Services cover?
We are based in Shailer Park and provide tiling services across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Moreton Bay Region and the Gold Coast. Our team travels throughout South East Queensland for residential and commercial projects. If you are unsure whether we cover your suburb, the quickest way to find out is to call us or send an enquiry — we will let you know straight away.
What are your opening hours?
Century Tiling Services is contactable around the clock — our Google listing shows us as open 24 hours, 7 days. You are welcome to call or send an enquiry at any time, and we will get back to you as soon as we can to discuss your project and arrange a quote.
Is Century Tiling Services licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold QBCC Licence 150 796 39 and operate as a fully qualified tiling business with ABN 70 613 445 917. Using a licensed tiler gives you confidence that waterproofing and wet-area work is carried out to the required standards. We are happy to confirm our credentials when you get in touch.
How does pricing and quoting work?
We quote every job individually rather than using flat rates, because tiling projects vary so much in size, materials and preparation. We assess your project and provide a free, itemised quote that sets out exactly what is included. The price you approve is the price you pay — there are no hidden costs added later.
How do I get a free quote?
Getting a quote is easy. Send an enquiry through our website or call us directly on 0413 823 125. Tell us about the area you want tiled, the kind of tiles you are considering and your ideal timeframe, and we will arrange to assess the space and provide a free, no-obligation quote.
How much experience does Century Tiling Services have?
We have over 20 years of hands-on tiling experience across residential and commercial work. Over that time we have built a reputation for precision, quality and elegance, with a portfolio that ranges from bespoke residential projects to large-scale work. That experience shows in the attention to detail on every job we complete.
Do you waterproof wet areas before tiling?
Yes. Waterproofing is an essential step for bathrooms, showers, laundries and other wet areas, and we treat it as a core part of every relevant job. We apply quality waterproofing membranes and follow industry best practice and standards, protecting your home from leaks, mould and long-term water damage.
What types of tiling projects do you take on?
We handle kitchen and bathroom tiling, floor and wall tiling, outdoor and pool tiling, stone wall cladding, new home and renovation tiling, and bedding, levelling and waterproofing. Whether it is a single splashback or a full home renovation, we bring the same craftsmanship and care to every project.
Kitchen and Bathroom Tiling

Kitchen and Bathroom Tiling questions

Do you tile kitchens and bathrooms across Brisbane and Logan?
Yes. Century Tiling Services works throughout Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Moreton Bay Region and the Gold Coast. Kitchens and bathrooms are two of the most common projects we take on, from single splashbacks and shower recesses through to full renovations. If you are unsure whether your suburb is covered, give us a call and we will let you know straight away — we are based in Shailer Park and travel right across South East Queensland for residential and commercial work.
How does pricing work for a kitchen or bathroom tiling job?
Every kitchen and bathroom is different, so we quote each job individually rather than using a flat rate. Pricing depends on the size of the area, the tile type and format, how much surface preparation or waterproofing is needed, and whether old tiles are being removed first. We provide a free, itemised quote before any work begins so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden costs added later — the quote you approve is the price you pay.
Do you waterproof bathrooms before tiling?
Yes. Waterproofing is one of the most important steps in any bathroom and we treat it as a non-negotiable part of the job. We apply quality waterproofing membranes to wet areas such as showers, floors and around bathtubs before any tile goes down. Proper waterproofing protects your home from leaks, mould and long-term water damage, and it is essential for a finish that lasts. We follow industry best practice and relevant standards for every wet-area installation.
What tile materials can you install in a kitchen or bathroom?
We work with a wide range of materials including ceramic, porcelain, glass and natural stone tiles. In kitchens we install splashbacks, floor tiles and feature surfaces; in bathrooms we tile walls, floors, showers and around bathtubs. We will happily talk through the pros and cons of each material — durability, water resistance, slip rating and ease of cleaning — so you can choose tiles that suit both the look you want and how the room is used day to day.
How long does a typical bathroom tiling job take?
The timeframe depends on the size of the bathroom, the tile format and how much preparation is involved. A straightforward bathroom is usually completed within several working days, while a full renovation that includes demolition, levelling and waterproofing takes longer. We will give you a realistic timeline as part of your quote and keep you updated as the work progresses, so there are no surprises along the way.
Do you remove old tiles before installing new ones?
Yes, we can handle the full process including demolition and removal of existing tiles. In renovation projects we strip back the old surfaces, prepare and level the substrate, and then install your new tiles. Removing old tiles properly is important because it lets us check and correct the surface underneath, which leads to a stronger, longer-lasting result than tiling straight over the top.
Are you licensed and insured for bathroom tiling work?
Yes. Century Tiling Services holds QBCC Licence 150 796 39 and operates as a fully qualified tiling business. Bathroom work involves waterproofing and wet-area construction, so using a licensed tiler gives you confidence the job is done to the required standards. We are happy to confirm our licence and credentials when you get in touch.
How do I get a quote for my kitchen or bathroom?
The easiest way is to send an enquiry through our website or call us directly. Let us know the room, roughly how large it is, the kind of tiles you are considering and your ideal timeframe. We will arrange to assess the space and provide a free, no-obligation quote so you can make a decision with all the details in front of you.
Floor and Wall Tiling

Floor and Wall Tiling questions

Which areas do you cover for floor and wall tiling?
Century Tiling Services provides floor and wall tiling across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Moreton Bay Region and the Gold Coast. We tile single rooms, multiple living areas and whole properties for both homeowners and businesses. We are based in Shailer Park and travel throughout South East Queensland — if you would like to confirm we cover your suburb, just give us a call.
How do you price a floor or wall tiling project?
We quote floor and wall tiling individually because the cost depends on several factors: the total area, the tile size and pattern, the condition of the existing surface, and whether levelling or removal of old tiles is required. After assessing the space we provide a free, detailed quote that sets out exactly what is included, so you can budget with confidence and there are no unexpected charges.
Do you prepare and level the surface before tiling?
Yes. A smooth, level and stable base is essential for a professional tiling result. Before any tile is laid we assess the existing surface and carry out the necessary preparation, which can include floor levelling and substrate correction. Skipping this step is a common cause of tile lippage, cracking and uneven wear, so we never cut corners on preparation.
What types of tiles can you lay on floors and walls?
We install ceramic, porcelain and natural stone tiles in a wide range of sizes, colours and patterns. Floor tiles are chosen with durability and slip resistance in mind, while wall tiles open up more decorative options. We are happy to advise on which tiles suit the room, the level of foot traffic and the style you are aiming for, whether that is sleek and modern or warm and traditional.
Can you tile over existing tiles or do they need removing?
It depends on the condition of the existing surface. In some cases tiling over sound, well-bonded tiles is possible, but in many situations removing the old tiles produces a better and longer-lasting result because it allows us to inspect and correct the base underneath. We will assess your floors and walls and recommend the right approach for your project as part of the quote.
How do you finish the tiles once they are laid?
After the tiles are set we grout the joints, filling them evenly and wiping the surface clean for a polished finish. Where appropriate we also apply sealants to protect the tiles and grout from moisture and staining, which improves durability and makes ongoing cleaning easier. The result is a hard-wearing surface that looks sharp and is built to last.
How long will floor and wall tiling take?
The timeframe depends on the area being tiled, the tile format and the amount of preparation involved. A single room is generally completed quickly, while larger or multi-room projects take longer. We provide a realistic schedule with your quote and keep you informed throughout, working tidily and respecting your home or business at every stage.
Outdoor and Pool Tiling

Outdoor and Pool Tiling questions

Do you tile outdoor areas and pools across South East Queensland?
Yes. Century Tiling Services installs outdoor and pool tiling throughout Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Moreton Bay Region and the Gold Coast. We tile patios, walkways, driveways, pool interiors and pool surrounds. Based in Shailer Park, we travel across the region — contact us if you would like to confirm that we service your suburb.
How is outdoor and pool tiling priced?
Outdoor and pool projects are quoted individually because cost depends on the area, the tile type, site access and how much preparation, waterproofing or levelling is required. Pool work also involves specialised tiles and detailing. We assess the site and provide a free, itemised quote before starting, so you have a clear picture of what is involved with no hidden extras.
What tiles do you use for pools and outdoor spaces?
For pools we use tiles designed specifically for that environment, including mosaic, glass and ceramic options that resist water, pool chemicals and UV exposure. For patios, walkways and driveways we use durable, weather-resistant materials that handle the elements and heavy foot traffic. Many outdoor tiles are also selected for slip resistance, so the surface stays safe when wet.
Are outdoor tiles slip resistant?
Slip resistance is an important consideration for any area that gets wet, such as pool surrounds, patios and entertaining spaces. We can recommend tiles with suitable slip ratings for outdoor use so the finished surface looks great and remains safe underfoot. We will talk through the options with you so the choice balances appearance, durability and safety.
Do you waterproof and prepare the area before outdoor tiling?
Yes. We begin by assessing the site and carrying out the necessary preparation, which can include waterproofing and levelling depending on the area. Proper preparation is essential outdoors, where surfaces are exposed to weather and moisture, and it is critical for pool areas. Only once the base is correctly prepared do we move on to installing the tiles.
Can you tile both the pool interior and the surrounding area?
Yes. Our pool tiling covers both the pool itself and the surrounding deck or paved area, so the finished result has a consistent, cohesive look. We install the tiles with precise alignment and secure adhesion, then grout and seal them for added protection and longevity, whether you are after a luxury pool oasis or a practical outdoor entertaining space.
How long does an outdoor or pool tiling project take?
Timeframes vary with the size of the area, the tile type and the amount of preparation and waterproofing required. We provide a realistic schedule as part of your free quote and keep you updated throughout the job. Weather can occasionally affect outdoor work, and we will always keep you informed if that happens.
Stone Wall Cladding and Tiling

Stone Wall Cladding and Tiling questions

Where do you provide stone wall cladding and tiling?
Century Tiling Services offers stone wall cladding and stone tiling across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Moreton Bay Region and the Gold Coast. We work on feature walls, fireplaces, building facades, garden structures and interior stone surfaces. Based in Shailer Park, we cover South East Queensland — get in touch to confirm we service your area.
How do you quote a stone cladding project?
Stone cladding and stone tiling are quoted individually. The cost depends on the type of stone, the size and location of the area, site access and the preparation required for proper adhesion and durability. We assess the project and provide a free, detailed quote that explains exactly what is included before any work begins.
What types of stone do you work with?
We work with a range of stone materials including natural stone, cultured stone and veneer stone. Each has its own character, texture and aesthetic, as well as practical differences in weight and installation. We are experienced with all of these and will recommend the best option based on your design preferences and the specific requirements of your wall or surface.
Can stone cladding be used both inside and outside?
Yes. Stone cladding works well in both interior and exterior settings. Indoors it is popular for feature walls and fireplaces, while outdoors it suits facades, garden walls and entrance features. We select and install the stone with the location in mind, ensuring the cladding is secure, stable and able to withstand weather and everyday wear.
How is stone cladding installed?
We start with a thorough site evaluation and surface preparation to ensure proper adhesion and durability. The stone pieces are then carefully cut and fitted, with close attention to alignment and spacing so the finished wall has a seamless, natural appearance. Our installation techniques ensure the cladding is firmly secured and built to last.
Do you also install stone floor and benchtop tiling?
Yes. As well as wall cladding, we install stone tiling for floors, benchtops and other surfaces. Our stone tiling includes precise installation, grouting and sealing to bring out the natural beauty of the stone and protect it from staining and moisture, so you can enjoy the elegance and resilience of stone throughout your home or business.
Is stone cladding durable and easy to maintain?
Stone is valued for its durability and timeless appeal. Once installed and sealed correctly, stone cladding and tiling stand up well to wear and the elements. Sealing also helps protect the surface from stains and moisture and makes cleaning more straightforward. We will explain how to care for your particular stone so it keeps looking its best for years.
New and Renovated Homes

New and Renovated Homes questions

Do you tile new builds as well as renovations?
Yes. Century Tiling Services provides tiling for both brand-new homes and renovation projects across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Moreton Bay Region and the Gold Coast. Whether you are building from the ground up or updating an existing property, we deliver the same precise, high-quality workmanship in kitchens, bathrooms, living areas and outdoor spaces.
How is tiling for a new or renovated home priced?
We quote each home individually because the scope varies widely. Pricing depends on the areas being tiled, the tile types and formats, the amount of preparation, levelling or waterproofing required, and whether old tiles need removing in a renovation. We provide a free, itemised quote covering the full scope so you can plan your project budget with confidence.
Do you work with builders, architects and designers?
Yes. On new home projects we collaborate with builders, architects and designers so the tiling aligns with the overall construction plan and design intent. Clear coordination keeps the project running smoothly and ensures the finished tiling fits seamlessly with the rest of the build. We are comfortable working as part of a wider project team.
Can you help update outdated rooms in a renovation?
Absolutely. In renovation projects we work closely with homeowners to understand their goals, then update outdated spaces, repair or replace damaged tiles and install new tiles that reflect your style. We handle the full process — surface preparation, demolition of old tiles, installation, grouting and sealing — for a smooth, hassle-free renovation.
Which rooms can you tile in a home project?
We tile all the key areas of a home, including kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, living rooms, entryways and outdoor spaces. Using quality materials and proven techniques, we create durable, attractive surfaces throughout the property. We are happy to advise on tile choices room by room so each space works for how you live.
How do you manage timing on a home tiling project?
We provide a realistic schedule as part of your quote and coordinate our work to fit the wider build or renovation program. For new homes that means aligning with other trades; for renovations it means keeping disruption to a minimum. We keep you informed throughout so you always know what is happening and when.
Are you licensed for tiling work on homes?
Yes. Century Tiling Services holds QBCC Licence 150 796 39 and operates as a fully qualified tiling business. With over 20 years of experience across residential and commercial projects, we bring proven craftsmanship and a strong attention to detail to every new build and renovation we take on.
Bedding, Levelling & Waterproofing

Bedding, Levelling & Waterproofing questions

What does bedding, levelling and waterproofing involve?
Bedding, floor levelling and waterproofing are the essential preparation steps that set up a tiling job for success. Bedding and levelling create a stable, even base for tiles, while waterproofing protects wet areas from water damage. Century Tiling Services provides these foundational services with precision and care, because proper preparation is what makes a tiled surface durable and long-lasting.
Do you cover Brisbane and the surrounding regions for this service?
Yes. We provide bedding, levelling and waterproofing across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Moreton Bay Region and the Gold Coast. These services are part of most of our tiling projects, and we also carry them out as preparation work. Based in Shailer Park, we travel across South East Queensland — call us to confirm your suburb is covered.
How is preparation work like levelling and waterproofing priced?
We quote preparation work individually because the cost depends on the size and condition of the area and how much levelling or waterproofing is needed. After assessing the space we provide a free, itemised quote. In most cases this work is quoted as part of the overall tiling project so you can see the full scope clearly.
Why is floor levelling important before tiling?
An even, stable base is essential for a quality tiling result. We assess the existing conditions and use the right materials and techniques to level floors and create a smooth, solid foundation. This step helps prevent common problems such as tile lippage, cracking and uneven wear, keeping your tiled surfaces looking good and performing well for years.
Where is waterproofing needed in a home?
Waterproofing is critical anywhere a surface is exposed to moisture — bathrooms, showers, laundries, kitchens and many outdoor areas. We use quality waterproofing membranes and coatings to protect these surfaces from water damage, mould and mildew. Correct waterproofing not only extends the life of your tiles but also helps maintain a healthy, safe environment in your home.
Do you follow Australian standards for waterproofing?
Yes. Our team follows industry best practice and adheres to the relevant standards and regulations for wet-area preparation and waterproofing. Doing this work correctly is essential for a durable, compliant result, which is why we treat preparation as a core part of every project rather than an afterthought.
Can you do preparation work for tiling done by others?
Our bedding, levelling and waterproofing services are most often carried out as part of a complete Century Tiling project, which lets us guarantee the base is right before we tile. If you have a specific preparation requirement, contact us with the details and we will let you know how we can help.
