Do you provide PS3 producer statements for waterproofing in Wellington?

Yes. We issue the PS3 producer statement required by Wellington City, Hutt City, Upper Hutt and Porirua councils as part of every waterproofing job we complete. No separate inspector required — we are certified waterproofing applicators.

What areas of Wellington do you service?

All About Tiles serves the entire Greater Wellington region from Lower Hutt. This includes Wellington City and suburbs (Khandallah, Karori, Wadestown, Thorndon, Brooklyn, Miramar), the Hutt Valley (Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Petone, Eastbourne), Porirua, the Kapiti Coast (Paraparaumu, Waikanae) and the Wairarapa (Masterton, Carterton, Greytown).

Do you offer emergency tile and waterproofing repairs?

Yes. We run a priority response service for commercial partners and residential clients with urgent issues like lifting tiles, failing waterproof membranes or active leaks. Call Francis directly on 021 525 799 for same-day or next-day onsite assessment across Wellington, Hutt Valley and Porirua.

How long does a typical bathroom tile installation take?

Most full bathroom installations run 8 to 14 working days for the tiling and waterproofing portion, depending on size, material and substrate condition. We give a firm schedule before we start and stick to it.

Do you do commercial fit-outs as well as residential bathrooms?

Yes. We tile retail showrooms, hospitality venues, office fit-outs and other commercial spaces across Wellington. We work to construction programmes, use industrial-grade materials rated for foot traffic, and supply full PS3 and H&S documentation.

Why a 1mm lippage is visible across an entire wall — and how we eliminate it.

When you've invested in 1200mm porcelain, Italian marble or natural stone, the installation is what protects that investment. We have the wet-saws, the calibrated leveling, and the 20 years' experience these materials require.

What we install

Large-format porcelain (slabs up to 3 metres) — substrate-levelled, dry-laid, lippage-free.
Italian and Spanish marble — handled, adhered and sealed correctly.
Natural stone (travertine, limestone, slate) — correct sealant per material.
Glass mosaics and bespoke patterns — precision cutting and dry-fit.
Custom 45° mitred edges — seamless tile-to-tile corners, no plastic trim.

Why premium materials need a specialist

Equipment matters

Standard tilers don't own the wet-saws required for large-format porcelain or natural stone. We do. The right cut prevents chipping and protects your investment from delivery onwards.

Substrate prep is 80% of the job

A 1mm lippage is visible across an entire wall in large-format. We level, dry-lay every sheet, and use calibrated leveling clips on every install.

Adhesive selection is material-specific

Marble requires a different adhesive to porcelain. Natural stone requires different prep to ceramic. We spec it per material — generic mortar is what causes failures down the line.

The detail that separates us

A 45° mitred tile edge takes three times longer to cut than a standard L-bead — but the finish is seamless. No plastic trim breaking the line. It's the detail that turns a beautifully tiled wall into a flawless one.

We work closely with Tile Depot and other Wellington suppliers and can spec the right product for your application, or install material you've already chosen.

Common questions

Do you charge more for large-format installation?

Yes — the labour and equipment requirements are higher than standard tile. The price reflects the time and expertise. We quote on a per-square-metre basis with material and complexity factored in.

What's the largest tile you've installed?

Up to 3 metres in length. We have the wet-saw, handling rigs, and team experience for this format.

Can you source the tile, or should I buy direct?

Either. We work with Tile Depot and other Wellington suppliers and can spec the right product for your application, or install material you've already chosen.
