Precise tiling installation on bathroom walls and floors

Flawless Porcelain, Ceramic & Natural Stone Tiling

Tiling is the defining visual finish of any bathroom, kitchen, or living space. Poor sub-floor preparation or rushed leveling leads to hollow tiles, lippage, and cracked grout lines.

At The Restorers, our skilled tiling artisans specialize in large-format porcelain, ceramic, mosaic, natural slate, and travertine tiles. We implement meticulous surface screeding, expansion joints, and waterproof tanking before laying a single tile, ensuring lifetime durability.

Luxury Tiling Across Knysna's Finest Residential Estates

We cater to homeowners and interior designers across Simola, Pezula, Leisure Isle, Belvidere, and Brenton-on-Sea. From seamless open-plan living room floors and mitred bathroom corners to exterior non-slip patio tiles and swimming pool coping, our tiling projects are straight, level, and impeccably finished.

Tile Leveling Clip Systems: We use mechanical leveling clips to pull tiles flush, eliminating 'lippage' or uneven tile corners.

Bathroom & Wet-Wall Prep: We apply waterproofing membranes to shower walls and bathroom floors before laying tiles, guaranteeing leak-free wet areas.

Precision Mitre & Trim Cuts: We tile external corners with clean 45-degree mitre cuts or use premium anodised aluminium tile trims.

Our Tiling Process

We ensure surfaces are flat, check layout lines to avoid narrow tile slivers, and use appropriate, high-strength adhesives.

01

Floor Level Check

We check the floor for flatness, chip away bumps, grind down high spots, and apply self-leveling screeds if required.

02

Grid Layout & Laser Align

We set laser lines and map tile positions to ensure grout lines run straight, avoiding thin cut pieces at walls.

03

Adhesive & Laying

We spread high-strength polymer tile adhesive using notched trowels, back-butter large tiles, and lay tiles using leveling clips.

04

Grouting & Cleanup

We pull clips, clean joint lines, mix and apply waterproof grout, clean tile faces, and apply flexible silicone sealants to corners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our services in Knysna? Here are answers to some of the common inquiries we receive.

Can you tile over existing floor tiles or uneven screed? ↓

Yes, provided the existing substrate is solid. We grind the surface, apply specialized tile-on-tile bonding primer, or apply self-leveling screed to ensure a completely flat, sound base.

Do you waterproof shower walls and wet areas before tiling? ↓

Always. We apply a flexible multi-layer waterproof tanking membrane with polyester reinforcing tape along all internal corners, pipe penetrations, and shower pans before tiling to prevent concealed leaks.

What type of adhesive and grout do you use for large format porcelain? ↓

We use high-polymer modified, flexible C2-classified adhesives and anti-fungal, water-repellent grouts designed to withstand temperature fluctuations without cracking or popping.
