Before you hire a tiler in Auckland

Bathroom and floor tiling faults, lippage, uneven grout lines, and failed waterproofing in wet areas, are obvious once finished and expensive to redo. Ask whether they handle waterproofing themselves or coordinate it, how they deal with an uneven substrate, and whether the quote includes setting out so cuts fall in sensible places. Confirm whether tile supply is included or separate.

The questions below are drawn from 193 customer reviews collected for this page.

What does tiling typically cost in New Zealand?

Labour alone runs $60 to $150 per square metre for floor tiling, with Auckland sitting toward the upper end of that range. Add materials and the total rises to $100 to $250 per square metre, depending on tile choice and substrate condition.

Splashbacks are smaller jobs but attract higher per-metre rates due to fiddly cuts and adhesive work on vertical surfaces. Large-format tiles and mosaics cost more to lay because they demand precise setting out and more time to align correctly.

Who is responsible for waterproofing in a wet area, and why does it matter?

Waterproofing in showers and wet areas must meet NZ Building Code clause E3 and comply with NZS 4858:2004, which sets minimum membrane thickness and upstand heights of at least 100mm in shower areas. Once tiles go down, the membrane is permanently hidden, so any failure only becomes visible as water damage in framing or ceilings, often long after the job is finished.

The work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, who should provide a Record of Work confirming the installation meets code. Ask for that LBP number and Record of Work before tiles go down, not after, because without it you risk voiding insurance and losing the ability to obtain a Code Compliance Certificate.

How do I tell quality tiling from a poor job?

Run your hand across adjoining tiles and check for lippage, where one tile edge sits higher than its neighbour, as this signals poor bedding or an uneven substrate that was not properly prepared before laying began. Crouch down and sight along grout lines from a low angle to check they are straight and even in width, since inconsistent spacing points to rushed setting out rather than a properly planned tile layout. Tap tiles lightly with a knuckle across the whole surface and listen for a hollow or drummy sound, which indicates inadequate adhesive coverage underneath and a tile that is likely to crack or delaminate over time.

What are the warning signs of a tiler you shouldn't hire?
  • –Verbal quotes only, with no written breakdown separating labour, materials, waterproofing, and substrate preparation.
  • –No clear answer on who is doing the waterproofing or whether an LBP is involved, particularly for shower enclosures and wet room floors.
  • –Cut tiles placed in the most visible spots, such as the centre of a wall or the entrance of a room, which signals poor setting out before work began.
  • –An unwillingness to assess the substrate before quoting, since tiling over an uneven or damaged surface is a common cause of cracked and hollow tiles.
  • –No mention of waterproof membrane upstands or drying time before tiling, which are non-negotiable steps in any wet-area installation.
  • –Pressure to start immediately without a site visit, as accurate pricing for substrate prep and waterproofing requires a proper inspection first.
What should you ask before hiring a tiler?
  • –Ask who is responsible for waterproofing, whether they hold an LBP licence, and whether they will provide a Record of Work on completion.
  • –Ask how they assess and deal with an uneven substrate, since the answer tells you whether prep costs are included in the quote or will appear later as extras.
  • –Confirm whether the quote includes setting out, specifically how they plan tile cuts so awkward slivers do not land in prominent positions like doorways or room centres.
  • –Ask whether tile supply is included or priced separately, and if separate, whether they will advise on quantities and wastage allowance for cuts.
  • –Ask what warranty covers the finished wet-area installation and how long the adhesive and grout products they use are rated to last in a shower environment.

How are the top tilers in Auckland chosen?

We build this page from Google Maps results for tilers in Auckland. Each one is scored on its public rating and review record, using the same published method on every page. Businesses outside the area, or whose reviews describe a different line of work, are left out. Every category and city is rechecked on a rolling cycle, about every two to three months. See how we rank for how rankings are made and who is left out. On specialist pages like this one, a business's reviews count in proportion to how many of them are about tilers, so a business mostly reviewed for other work cannot win on review volume alone. See the words we look for.

Not listed? The usual reasons are a Google Business category that does not match, too few reviews to score near the top, or an address outside the area we cover. Check where you rank first, and if you think we missed you, get in touch.
