Consistency, Professionalism & Splashback Tiling Experience
Looking for a splashback tiler in Auckland who actually gets it right the first time? You’ve found them. At Dakom Tiling, we’ve been delivering precision splashback installs across Auckland for over 10 years – with the certifications, reviews, and finished work to back it up.
Whether you’re refreshing a tired kitchen, upgrading a bathroom, or tiling a new build from scratch, the right splashback sets the tone for the whole space. We take that seriously. Clean cuts, consistent grout lines, full-coverage adhesive – no shortcuts, no spot-fixing, no drama.
What East Auckland Homeowners Actually Want from a Tiler
We’ve spoken with a lot of homeowners across the east, and the pattern is clear. They don’t just want someone to show up and start laying tiles. They want a tiler who:
Shows up when they say they will. Unreliable trades are one of the most common complaints in any renovation. We respect your schedule.
Gives them a straight quote. No vague estimates that balloon after the job starts. We quote the job properly before work begins, including waterproofing, substrate preparation, and finishing details.
Does the waterproofing work correctly? Not as an afterthought. Not with the cheapest membrane on the market. Our bathroom waterproofing service follows the correct standards, and as PS3 Registered Authors, we can issue the Producer Statements your council consent inspection may require.
Communicates throughout the job. Nobody wants to be left guessing. We keep you informed at each stage, especially if something unexpected comes up during the job, like discovering the previous substrate wasn’t correctly prepared.
Leaves the site clean. We’re in your home. We treat it that way.

Our Recent Auckland Splashback Projects
White Subway – Te Atatū Kitchen
Slim white subway tiles laid in a classic brick pattern, paired with a dark grout to make the layout pop. The elongated format keeps the eye moving across the bench, making the space feel wider and more open. Clean, structured, timeless — and far easier to maintain than it looks.
Large Format Grey Stone – Ponsonby Bathroom
Full-height large format tiles in a warm grey stone finish – no grout lines cluttering the view, just a clean, seamless wall that reads as one continuous surface. The scale of the tile makes a narrow bathroom feel taller and more considered. Adhesive fully bedded, falls correct, finished to a standard we’re proud of.
Teal Gloss, North Shore Kitchen
A bold choice that paid off. These handcrafted-feel teal tiles bring colour and texture to a kitchen that was previously all-white and flat. The natural glaze variation means no two tiles look the same — it’s a splashback that gives you something to look at. Paired against white cabinetry and stainless appliances, it’s the feature piece the room needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Splash Tiling
How much does splashback tiling cost in Auckland?
A straightforward kitchen splashback typically runs between NZ$50–$150 per m² for supply and install, depending on tile choice and surface conditions. Smaller areas often cost more per m² because the fixed preparation and labour time is the same regardless of size. We’ll give you an itemised quote upfront – no guessing.
How long does splashback tiling take?
Most kitchen splashbacks are a one-day job. Larger or more complex installs – full wall height, intricate layouts, or combined waterproofing – may take two days. We’ll confirm the timeline in your quote.
Do I need waterproofing behind a kitchen splashback?
All of them. Ceramic, porcelain, glass, natural stone, large format, mosaic – we work with any material. If a tile needs special handling (glass, marble, oversized format), we’ll tell you upfront.
What tiles can you install for a splashback?
A typical bathroom tiling project takes three to six days depending on the size of the space, tile format, design complexity, and whether waterproofing is required. We’ll give you a clear timeframe as part of your quote so you can plan your renovation around it.
Do you supply tiles or do I buy them?
Both options work. We can advise on suppliers and tile selection, or work with tiles you’ve already purchased. We’ll specify the quantity you need so nothing is wasted.
