Good to know
Leaking shower recesses are a common problem in older bathrooms, often caused by waterproofing membranes that have failed or were never installed properly. NSW requires shower recesses and wet areas to be waterproofed to AS 3740 — a standard some older bathrooms weren't built to. Retiling a shower without replacing the waterproofing membrane underneath is a temporary fix that is likely to leak again.

Common questions
How much does bathroom tiling cost in Blacktown?
It depends on the area being tiled, the tile size and pattern, whether old tiles and screeds need removing, the condition of the walls and floor, waterproofing, and any plumbing changes. Large format tiles and feature patterns such as herringbone take more time to lay accurately. Ask for a written quote that separates demolition, waterproofing, tiling and materials.
Do I need to waterproof before tiling in Blacktown?
Yes. NSW building regulations require all shower recesses and wet area floors to be waterproofed to AS 3740 before tiling. The waterproofing should be done by someone licensed for that work — check the licence with NSW Fair Trading — and it must cure fully before tiling starts. Skipping waterproofing or using inadequate products is a common cause of shower leaks and water damage to the structure below.
How long does bathroom tiling take in Blacktown?
It depends on the size of the job. Waterproofing needs time to cure before tiling starts, then the tiling and grouting follow, so even a shower retile takes more than one day. A full bathroom retile takes longer, and the bathroom will be unavailable during the works — plan for an alternative shower.
What tiles work best in a Blacktown bathroom?
For bathroom floors, choose a tile with a slip rating suited to wet areas — ask your tiler or supplier for the rating. For shower walls, large format rectified tiles are popular for their minimal grout lines and easier cleaning. Porcelain tiles outperform ceramic for durability and moisture resistance. Your tiler can advise on specific products.
Can I supply my own tiles for a bathroom tiling job in Blacktown?
Yes — many homeowners source their own tiles from suppliers like Beaumont Tiles or National Tiles. If supplying your own tiles, ask your tiler how much extra to order for cuts and breakage. Provide your tiler with the tile specifications (size, rectified or not, slip rating) before they quote — the labour rate may vary depending on the tile format and complexity of the pattern.
