Costs range from around $2,500 for a tiling-only refresh to $60,000+ for a full gut renovation with custom cabinetry. The main variables are kitchen size, tile and material selection, and whether plumbing or electrical work needs to be relocated. We provide free on-site quotes so you get an accurate figure for your specific kitchen.
A splashback tiling job can be completed in 1–2 days. A full kitchen renovation typically takes 2–5 weeks, depending on the scope of work, material lead times, and the sequence of trades (plumbing and electrical must be completed before tiling can begin).
For small tiling jobs, no. For a full renovation, most families opt for a temporary kitchen setup (microwave, BBQ, portable cooktop) for 2–4 weeks. We work efficiently and keep you updated on your kitchen's status at every stage.
Rectified porcelain tiles (matte finish, 600×600mm or larger) are the most popular choice among Melbourne homeowners. They're highly durable, easy to clean, moisture-resistant, and available in a wide range of colours and stone-look finishes. Polished porcelain is also popular in open-plan homes where aesthetics are a priority.
Both are excellent options. Tiled splashbacks offer greater design flexibility, allowing you to use colour, texture, pattern, and mixed formats. They're also easier to repair if a tile cracks. Glass splashbacks are seamless and easy to wipe down, but they're harder to repair and offer fewer design choices. We install both and can help you choose the right one based on your style and cooking habits.
Waterproofing is required around any area regularly exposed to water, particularly under the sink and around the dishwasher. Without proper waterproofing, moisture can penetrate the substrate, causing significant, expensive-to-repair damage. We apply compliant waterproofing membranes as standard in these areas.
In some cases, yes, if the existing tiles are firmly adhered, the surface is flat, and the added height won't affect cabinetry or appliances. In other cases, removing the old tiles is the right approach. We assess this during your free consultation and provide honest advice.
Porcelain is denser, harder, and less porous than ceramic. It's better suited to high-traffic areas like kitchen floors because it's more resistant to scratches, stains, and moisture. Ceramic tiles are lighter and easier to cut, making them a popular choice for walls and splashbacks where heavy wear isn't a concern.
Yes. All our tiling and renovation work is backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty. We also pass through any manufacturer warranties for materials and fixtures.
