Tiling done in-house, done properly

Tiling is one of the trades HRB Border Construction keeps entirely under its own roof. Led by Harry — a registered builder — we handle the whole wet-area process, from waterproofing right through to the final grout line, so there's no waiting on an outside tiler and no gap in accountability.

Great tiling is all in the preparation and the setting-out. We take the time to plan cuts, balance the layout and keep grout lines true, whether it's a full bathroom, a kitchen splashback, a feature wall or floors throughout the home. Because we waterproof and tile as one team, the critical steps happen in the right order and to code — which is exactly why our clients trust us with their most-used rooms.

  • Waterproofing & tiling in-house — one team, to AS 3740, in the right order.
  • Precise setting-out — balanced layouts, clean cuts, true grout lines.
  • 5.0★ from 21 reviews — trusted by homeowners across the region.

Got HRB to completely renovate my laundry and bathroom — the whole experience was perfect. Daily updates with photos, and helped design the room and pick the tiles.

Questions

Tiling FAQs

How much does tiling cost in Warrnambool?

Tiling is usually priced per square metre and depends on the tile size, the layout and how much preparation the surface needs. As a guide, standard floor and wall tiling typically runs from around $70–$120 per square metre for labour, with mosaics, large-format tiles, herringbone and feature patterns costing more because they take longer to set out and cut. We quote every job in full up front so you know the total before we start.

Do you do the waterproofing as well as the tiling?

Yes. We complete waterproofing to Australian Standard AS 3740 in-house before we tile any wet area. Keeping waterproofing and tiling under one team means the two critical steps are done in the right order, to code, with no gap in accountability — and no waiting on an outside trade.

Can you lay large-format, herringbone or feature tiles?

Absolutely. We regularly lay large-format tiles, herringbone and chevron patterns, mosaics, vertical feature walls, shower niches and stone. Careful setting-out and clean cuts are what make these finishes look right, and it's the part of tiling we most enjoy getting perfect.

Do you only tile bathrooms?

No. As well as bathrooms and ensuites, we tile kitchen splashbacks, laundries, floors throughout the home, entryways, outdoor and alfresco areas. If it needs tiling and it needs to last, we can help.

Are you a registered builder?

Yes. HRB Border Construction is led by Harry, a registered builder. That means your waterproofing and tiling are done to code, backed by proper standards — an important difference from an unlicensed tiler when it comes to your home and warranty.

Which areas do you tile in?

We tile across Warrnambool and throughout South West Victoria, including Port Fairy, Koroit, Allansford, Terang, Camperdown, Timboon, Colac, Portland and Hamilton.
