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.

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.
