Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tiling cost in Observatory?
As 2026 ballparks, labour-only floor tiling is roughly R180 - R320 per m² and supply-and-install porcelain about R550 - R900 per m². Removal, preparation and tile choice change the total.
Can new tiles go on old floorboards in Observatory?
Not directly. Timber floors move, so they need a suitable board system or another approach. Ask the tiler what they recommend.
Is regrouting enough to freshen up a rental bathroom?
If the tiles are sound and the shower does not leak, regrouting and new silicone often make a big difference for less.
Do you do the tiling yourselves?
No. This is a quote-comparison service. Independent tiling contractors assess, quote and do the work.
