Why Tiling is Important
Tiles are incredibly important for your bathroom. As mentioned earlier, they are your first line of defence against water damage. When tiles or grouting lines start to crack, or waterproofing starts to wear off underneath, then water can easily seep behind walls and floors. Over time, this leads to rot, mould, bad smells, and structural damage that ends up being expensive to fix. Poor drainage can also cause water to stay above your floor surfaces and cause them to become slippery. Our tiling team prepares your surfaces properly, installs waterproofing the right way, and lays your tiles with care so they look great as well as provide a safe floor for you to walk on.
Tile Material Selection Guide
When it comes to choosing tiling and flooring materials, there are many to choose from. Different types of tiles have different strengths, appearances, and maintenance requirements you'd have to consider. Here are the main types of tiles we offer:
Porcelain tiles are a hard, durable, and non-porous material made of clay and other minerals. They can vary in looks from wooden planks to marble tiles, depending on the print used for them.
Ceramic tiles provide good water resistance and attractive appearances at a lower cost. They are slightly cheaper than porcelain.
Natural stone creates timeless elegance with unique character, though it requires sealing and ongoing maintenance.
Glass mosaics give a small, glassy tile look that varies in colour. They add shimmer and visual interest to your bathroom.
When getting a tiling and flooring service with us, our bathroom renovation contractors in Nowra, NSW guide you though each tiling material's characteristics, cost, and look to hlep you decide what the best tile is for your bathroom.
Tile Size and Layout Considerations
The size of your tiles affect how your bathroom looks and how easy it is to maintain. Large format tiles, 600x600mm or bigger, creates smooth, seamless looks which is popular in the current era. It helps bathrooms look and feel more spacious than they are and cleaning is easier with fewer grount lines that can collect dirt.
Small tiles on the other hand, usually under 100x100mm, add texture, provide more slip resistance on floors, and allow for creativity in patterns and designs. Standard tiles, around the 300x300mm and bigger tiles, are the middle ground between large format and small tiles. They tend to provide more versatility with their different styles and costs.
Chooseing the right tile size is predominantly a customer decision, but our expert tiling contractors will be assessing your bathroom's design, talking to you directly to recommend a size that fits your bathroom and why. We highlight the pros and cons of different tile sizes, and discuss how it fits into your layout or design. This allows you to be fully informed into making a decision that affects the visual look as well as the practicality of your bathroom.

Different Tiling Areas in a Bathroom
All areas of your bathroom are exposed to moisture, and different parts face varying levels of water and wear. Showers are exposed to constant spraying, floors deal with foot traffic and leftover water from your taps and shower, and the vanity gets splashed here and there from when you wash your hands or face over the sink. Poorly installed tiles and waterproofing end up leading to more slips, mould growth, and hidden damage to your floors. At Nowra Bathroom Renovations, our tilers assess every part of your floor and choose the right tiles that properly protect your floors and fit how your space is used.
Bathroom Floor
Bathroom floors must be able to handle moisture and foot traffic on a daily basis. At Nowra Bathroom Renovations, we install slip-resistant tiles that guide water into proper drainage so that it doesn't pool above the surface. Our team uses strong adhesives and good grout to prevent cracks between tiles, ensuring you have a safe, durable floor that is easy to maintain and lasts years.
Walls
The walls in your bathroom need protection from the moisture and steam it's exposed to. Walls don't retain as much water on their surfaces as floors, but they still need to be protected. Our team install waterproofing boards behind your wall tiles so that water can't easily seep in, even through tile cracks. Our team ensures your walls are protected and installed with the right tile designs.
Showers
Showers are constantly receiving water exposure, and mistakes in your shower are probably the most impactful. Our bathroom renovation experts in Nowra apply solid waterproofing membranes to reinforce your shower walls and waterproofing boards for your floor, so that your wall and floor structures are protected as well as water being guided to the right drains.
Whether you're looking at getting a porcelain, ceramic, natural stone or vinyl tile, our team at Nowra Bathroom Renovations will choose and install flooring that suits your home and protects your floors. We offer proper guidance so you don't make ill-informed decisions, and base this on your budget, style, and preference.

Do I need council approval to renovate my bathroom?
If you’re doing a simple like-for-like renovation, you usually won’t need approval. But if you’re moving plumbing, changing structure, or adding windows, you may need permits. Regardless, it's always best to check before starting.
Can I stay in my home during a bathroom renovation?
Yes, many homeowners stay in their homes during a bathroom renovation. However, the bathroom being renovated will be unusable for part of the project, so access to another bathroom is usually necessary. Your renovation team will also take steps to minimise dust and disruption.
