Bathroom Tiling in Auckland, Done Right the First Time

A bathroom is the most failure-prone tiled area in any home. Not because of the tiles, but because of what sits underneath them.

Poor waterproofing, uneven substrates, or rushed installation can lead to:

Cracked tiles within months Movement in unprepared substrates telegraphs straight through the tile face.

Mould and moisture behind walls Invisible until the smell starts, and impossible to clean away.

Leaks that damage framing and flooring Water travels far beyond the bathroom before anyone notices.

Costly repairs that require ripping everything out Fixing a failed bathroom costs far more than building it properly once.

Nebo did an outstanding job on our 2 bathrooms. From the very beginning, he was incredibly thorough during the quoting process, asking lots of detailed questions to make sure he fully understood exactly what we wanted. His workmanship is excellent, with impressive attention to detail throughout, and the final result not only matched our vision but exceeded our expectations. We are so pleased with the quality of his work and would highly recommend Dakom tiling to anyone looking for a skilled, professional and reliable tiler.

Nebo and his team of tilers did a 1st class job of our bathroom renovation. Very high level attention to detail with flawless mitre joints and they really took their time getting our herringbone pattern lined up and symmetrical around our shower niche. Great communication, always turned up on time & tided up afterwards. If you’re looking for a very good tiler, at a reasonable price point I would contact Nebo & lock it in. Will be recommending Dakom Tiling to our friends & family for sure.

We’ve used Dakom Tiling Ltd on multiple projects for bathroom tiling and waterproofing, and they’ve been consistently solid.
The workmanship is top quality — clean lines, good attention to detail, and everything finished properly. Their waterproofing is done right, which is critical, and gives us confidence handing over to clients.
They’re reliable, turn up when they say they will, and get through the work without dragging things out. Easy to deal with on site and don’t need to be micromanaged.
Overall, very happy with their work and we’ll continue using them for bathroom tiling and waterproofing moving forward.

More Than Laying Tiles

What You Actually Get With Our Professional Bathroom Tiling Services

Most homeowners assume bathroom tiling starts with laying tiles. In reality, that's only the visible part of a much more technical process. A properly tiled bathroom is built from the structure up, with each stage affecting how well the final result performs over time.

Preparation, Structure & Waterproofing

Every successful tiling job begins with a detailed assessment of the surfaces underneath. Floors and walls must be level, stable, and properly aligned. Even slight movement in the subfloor or uneven wall linings can lead to cracked tiles, failing grout, and costly repairs later on.

Once assessed, surfaces are carefully prepared: levelled where needed, reinforced if required, and primed to ensure proper adhesion. This stage is critical and often where lower-quality jobs fall short.

In Auckland, waterproofing is also a non-negotiable requirement for wet areas. A compliant system must be installed to prevent moisture from penetrating behind the tiles. This protects not just the tiles, but the structure of your home.

Our tilers use trusted ARDEX waterproofing systems and are PS3 certified, so all Auckland tiling work meets building standards and comes backed with proper documentation.

Precision Installation & Long-Term Performance

Precision bathroom tiling and finishing work by Dakom Tiling in Auckland

With the foundation properly prepared, tile installation becomes a process of precision rather than guesswork. Every layout is planned to ensure clean alignment, balanced cuts, and consistent grout lines across the entire space.

Particular attention is given to high-risk areas such as showers, where correct falls are essential for proper drainage. Accurate detailing around fixtures, edges, and corners ensures both durability and a clean, professional finish.

When all stages are completed correctly, the result is more than just a visually appealing bathroom. It's a space built to handle daily moisture, temperature changes, and long-term use without failure.

Planned layouts, balanced cuts, correct falls. The details you'll notice every day for the next twenty years are the ones we obsess over on day one.

Avoid the Most Expensive Bathroom Mistake

The biggest mistake homeowners make with other bathroom tilers?

Hiring based on price alone.

A cheap tiling job, whether it's a shower tiler repair in Greenhithe or a full retile anywhere in Auckland, can quickly turn into:

  • Full bathroom rework
  • Hidden water damage
  • Insurance and compliance issues

Fixing a failed bathroom costs significantly more than doing it right the first time. That's why our bathroom tiling company makes it right, always.

FAQs

Got questions? Here’s everything you need to know before hiring a tiler

Bathroom tiling in Auckland typically costs between $80 and $130 per square metre for labour, excluding the cost of tiles themselves. On top of that, waterproofing adds to the total – and in any tiled shower or wet floor area, waterproofing is not optional under the New Zealand Building Code. Hidden costs that catch many homeowners off guard include subfloor preparation, levelling, removal of old tiles, and structural repairs if moisture damage is found once the walls or floor are opened up. For a complete bathroom retile in Auckland – walls, floor, and shower – budgets of $5,000 to $12,000 for tiling and waterproofing alone are realistic, depending on the size, tile format, and complexity. Auckland labour rates are consistently higher than the rest of New Zealand, so getting an itemised quote from your tiler before work begins is the best way to avoid surprises.

It depends on the scope of work. Like-for-like replacements – swapping tiles without altering waterproofing, plumbing, or structure – generally do not require consent. However, if your renovation involves installing a new tiled shower, altering waterproofing systems, moving plumbing, or making structural changes, a building consent is required. Once consent is issued for wet area work, the Auckland Council will require a PS3 Producer Statement from a certified waterproofing installer before a Code Compliance Certificate can be issued. This means your tiler must be registered with the Auckland Council as a PS3 author and hold current manufacturer certification for the waterproofing system they install. Proceeding without the correct documentation can cause significant problems when selling or insuring your home – fines of up to $200,000 apply for unconsented building work under the Building Act 2004.

This is one of the most common concerns raised by Auckland homeowners, and the answer is often more than a surface problem. Persistent damp smells and grout that darkens quickly after cleaning frequently point to a failed waterproof membrane behind the tiles rather than a cleaning issue. Once a membrane fails, moisture works its way into the substrate and wall framing, feeding mould growth that no amount of surface cleaning will resolve. If the same area keeps going soft, stained, or smelly despite repeated cleaning, the tiles likely need to come off so the waterproofing layer can be inspected and replaced. The good news is that individual areas – a shower base or a section of wall – can often be stripped and retiled without a full bathroom gut-out. A qualified tiler can assess which areas are compromised and give you an honest picture of what actually needs doing.

A standard bathroom retile – floors, walls, and shower – typically takes between three and seven working days from start to finish, including waterproofing, tile installation, grouting, and curing time. Waterproofing membranes require a mandatory curing period before tiling can begin, so rushing this stage is not possible without compromising the result. If old tiles need to be removed first, or if substrate damage is discovered once they’re stripped, additional time for repairs will be needed before tiling can proceed. Most Auckland homeowners find that their bathroom is completely out of use for the duration of the tiling work. If you have only one bathroom, discussing the schedule with your tiler before work starts – and planning access to alternative facilities – avoids unnecessary stress during the project.

Fully vitrified porcelain is the most practical choice for Auckland bathroom floors and showers. It has a water absorption rate of 0.5% or less, handles Auckland’s humidity well, and is resistant to the cleaning products typically used in bathrooms. For shower floors specifically, look for a slip rating of R10 or above – this is the minimum recommended under New Zealand standards for wet residential floors. Natural stone, such as marble, is popular for its appearance but requires regular sealing and reacts badly to acidic cleaners, making it higher maintenance in a busy family bathroom. Large-format tiles are a strong design trend in Auckland bathrooms, but require a more precisely levelled substrate to install correctly – any unevenness in the floor or wall becomes far more visible with large tiles than small ones. Your tiler should assess the substrate condition before specifying tile size, not after.
