Hiring a Tiler in Robina
Before hiring any tiler in Robina, use this checklist to protect yourself and ensure you're working with a properly licensed and insured professional.
- Ask whether they hold a waterproofing licence or endorsement — In wet areas (bathrooms, showers, laundries), waterproofing is required under the National Construction Code before tiling commences. In some states, waterproofing requires a separate licence. Ask whether the tiler will apply the waterproofing membrane themselves (and is licensed to do so) or whether a separate waterproofer is needed.
- Confirm their experience with your chosen tile format — Large-format tiles (600 x 1200 mm and above) require different adhesives, notch trowels, and levelling systems compared to standard tiles. Natural stone requires sealing and special adhesives. If you have chosen an unusual format or material, ask whether the tiler has recent experience with it.
- Ask how they handle tile layout and cuts at edges — A professional tiler will dry-lay tiles or plan the layout to ensure cuts are symmetrical, no sliver cuts appear at doorways or focal walls, and patterns are centred. Ask to see the layout plan before work begins — poor layout planning is the hallmark of an inexperienced tiler.
- Check they will use the correct adhesive for each application — Different substrates and locations require different adhesives. Cement-based adhesive for concrete, flexible adhesive for timber floors, and rapid-set for time-critical areas. A tiler who uses a single "all-purpose" adhesive for every situation risks bond failure and cracked tiles.
- Verify their QBCC or equivalent tiling licence — In Queensland, wall and floor tiling over $3,300 (inc. GST) requires a QBCC licence. NSW requires a licence for tiling work over $5,000. Ask to see the licence and verify it online. An unlicensed tiler cannot provide the consumer protections that licensing bodies offer if defects appear.
Get at least three quotes and compare not just price, but response time, warranty on workmanship, and whether the quote includes parts.
- Proposes tiling wet areas without addressing waterproofing — Waterproofing under tiles in wet areas is mandatory under the National Construction Code. A tiler who starts laying tiles in a bathroom or shower without confirming that waterproofing has been applied, inspected, and passed is setting you up for the most expensive bathroom defect — water leaking into your subfloor or the storey below.
- No expansion or movement joints in large tiled areas — Large tiled areas (generally over 40 square metres for floors) and junctions between different substrates require movement joints to prevent cracking. A tiler who lays tiles wall-to-wall without incorporating flexible joints is ignoring Australian Standards and the tiles will likely crack as the building moves.
- Uses incorrect notch trowel size for the tile format — The adhesive notch trowel size must match the tile size to ensure adequate coverage — large-format tiles require a 12–15 mm notch trowel and often back-buttering. If you see a tiler using a small notch trowel for large tiles, the adhesive coverage will be insufficient and tiles will debond or sound hollow.
- Cannot show a waterproofing compliance certificate for wet areas — Before tiling a wet area, the waterproofing must be inspected and a compliance certificate issued. If the tiler cannot produce this document and has already tiled over the membrane, there is no way to verify the waterproofing was done correctly without removing the tiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my tiler also do the waterproofing?
Sometimes, but not always. Waterproofing in wet areas is a separate trade in some states and requires its own licence. In Queensland, waterproofing requires a specific QBCC licence class. Some tilers hold both a tiling and waterproofing licence, while others subcontract the waterproofing to a specialist. Either way, the waterproofing must be inspected and certified before tiles are laid.
Can I tile over existing tiles?
Yes, provided the existing tiles are firmly bonded, the surface is level, and there is enough floor-to-ceiling height to accommodate the extra thickness. The existing tiles must be thoroughly cleaned and roughened or coated with a bonding primer. Tiling over tiles in wet areas is more complex as the waterproofing membrane under the original tiles must still be intact and compliant.
How much does tiling cost per square metre in Australia?
Labour costs for tiling typically range from $35–$60 per square metre for standard floor tiles and $40–$75 for wall tiles. Large-format tiles, intricate patterns, and natural stone cost more due to additional preparation and cutting time. Waterproofing, if required, is an additional $25–$50 per square metre. These figures exclude the cost of the tiles themselves.
What grout should I use in my shower?
Epoxy grout is the gold standard for showers because it is waterproof, mould-resistant, and does not require sealing. Cement-based grout is cheaper but must be sealed regularly to prevent water penetration and mould growth. For floor-to-wall junctions and corners, a flexible silicone sealant — not grout — should be used to accommodate building movement.
How long before I can walk on newly tiled floors?
With standard cement-based adhesive, you should avoid walking on newly tiled floors for at least 24 hours. Rapid-set adhesives may allow light foot traffic after 4–6 hours. Grouting should wait at least 24 hours after tiling. Full curing — when the floor can handle heavy furniture and normal use — takes 7–14 days depending on adhesive type and conditions.
How do I verify a tiler's licence in QLD?
You can verify any tiler's licence using TradieVerify's free search tool or directly through the Queensland Building and Construction Commission register. Enter the tiler's name or licence number to confirm their licence status, class, and any disciplinary history.
