Getting Started
Do You Do Small Tiling Jobs?
Absolutely. No job is too small, from small repairs and splashbacks through to complete bathroom renovations.
What Areas Do You Service?
We service Cowra and surrounding areas, and out-of-town work can also be arranged depending on the project.
How Far in Advance Should I Book a Tiler?
As early as possible. Our schedule can fill up quickly, particularly for larger bathroom and renovation projects.
How Do I Get a Quote?
Send CJ Tiling a message with a few photos, your location, approximate measurements and a description of what you would like done, and we can go from there.
Tiles and Styles
Do You Supply Tiles?
We can supply tiles, or we can work with tiles you have already selected. We can also give advice on tile sizes, layouts and suitable products.
Can You Install Large-Format Tiles?
Yes. We work with a range of tile sizes and styles, including large-format tiles, subway tiles, patterned tiles, natural stone and more.
Do You Do Mitred Tile Edges?
Yes. Mitred finishes can be used to create a clean, high-end look where suitable.
Can You Help Me Decide on a Tile Layout?
Definitely. We can discuss positioning, grout joints, cuts and feature areas before installation to get the best-looking result.
Preparation, Waterproofing, and Grout
Do You Do Waterproofing?
Waterproofing requirements are discussed as part of the job so the complete installation complies with the relevant requirements.
Why Does Good Preparation Matter So Much?
The finished tiling is only as good as the surface underneath it. Getting walls, floors, falls and substrates right before tiling is a major part of achieving a quality, long-lasting result.
Do You Use Epoxy Grout?
Epoxy grout is available for suitable applications and is a great option where durability and stain resistance are priorities.
Existing Tiles and Repairs
Can You Tile Over Existing Tiles?
Sometimes. The existing surface needs to be properly assessed first to make sure it is sound and suitable.
Do You Do Repairs and Regrouting?
Yes, depending on the condition of the existing tiling and what is causing the problem.
How Long Does a Bathroom Take to Tile?
It depends on the size, tile selection, preparation required and complexity of the layout. We will give you a better indication once we have seen the job.
