How does Decoration Tiling charge for a job?
We quote per square metre after we've seen the space. The rate covers labour, adhesive, grout, sealing where needed, and a clean handover. Tiles are usually a separate line because clients pick them — though we're happy to source them on your behalf if that's easier. Quotes are free, fixed for 30 days, and we don't add anything mid-job unless the scope changes and you sign off on it.
How long does outdoor tiling usually take?
It depends on the size and complexity, but a typical residential job runs three to five working days from start to grout-cure. We'll give you a day-by-day schedule with the written quote so you're not guessing about access or timing.
Do I need to supply tiles for the outdoor tiling job?
You can — many clients enjoy picking tiles themselves. If you'd rather skip the showroom rounds, we'll bring you samples that suit your space and budget. Either way, we'll talk through wear-rating, slip-rating and grout colour before anything goes down.
Do you warrant the tiling work?
Yes. Workmanship is warranted for two years against defects — that means cracked grout, lifting tiles or waterproofing failures down to how the work was done. The tiles themselves come with whatever warranty the manufacturer provides; we'll point you toward suppliers whose product holds up under Brisbane conditions.
What surface preparation does outdoor tiling need?
Levels, substrate condition and (where relevant) waterproofing all have to be right before any tile is laid. We assess the substrate when we quote — if it needs grinding, screeding, sheeting or waterproofing, we tell you up-front so the job is priced honestly.
Can you match outdoor tiling to an existing finish?
Often, yes. Bring a sample tile or a photo and we'll either find a match or suggest a deliberate complementary tile that reads as a design choice rather than an obvious patch.
How quickly can you start a job in Brisbane?
For most residential bathrooms and kitchens we can usually start within two to four weeks, depending on the queue. Commercial fitouts we plan around your trading hours so the doors stay open. If something's urgent — a leak under a tile, a damaged splashback before a property settlement — call us and we'll see what we can move.
