Tilers
Compare local tilers and book online in seconds.
Tilers lay wall and floor tiles in bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and outdoor areas, and the best of them also handle waterproofing, screeds and surface preparation. Waterproofing is the part to take seriously: failed shower waterproofing is one of the most common and expensive building defects in Australia, and in some states it must be done or certified by a licensed person.
OneBookPlus takes the friction out of getting tiling done: book a measure and quote online, compare itemised prices, and schedule the job around waterproofing cure times. Your quotes, invoices and progress photos live in one place, which makes warranty conversations far simpler if a tile drums or a grout line cracks later.

List your business, freeHow to choose a good Tiler
- Ask who does the waterproofing and whether they are licensed or certified for it where your state requires.
- Tiling needs a licence in some states for larger jobs; elsewhere it is unlicensed, so insurance and a portfolio matter.
- Look closely at portfolio photos for straight grout lines, neat mitred edges and level large-format tiles.
- Confirm the quote covers surface preparation, since tiling over an uneven or damp substrate fails early.
- Ask about movement joints and trim finishes, which separate careful tilers from fast ones.
- For large-format or stone tiles, check they have specific experience, as both are far less forgiving to lay.
Questions to ask before you book
Frequently asked questions
Do tilers need a licence in Australia?
In some states, yes, above a job value: NSW and Queensland require a licence for wall and floor tiling on larger residential jobs, while other states have no tiling-specific licence. Waterproofing is more tightly controlled and in several states must be carried out or certified by a licensed waterproofer. Ask what applies to your job and verify any licence online.
Why is waterproofing such a big deal in bathrooms?
Because failures hide until they are expensive. Leaking showers rot wall frames, lift tiles and grow mould, and fixing them usually means stripping the bathroom back to the frame. Australian Standard AS 3740 sets out where membranes must go in wet areas. Insist on the membrane being installed to standard and photographed before tiles cover it.
How long does tiling a bathroom take?
Allow roughly one to two weeks end to end for a standard bathroom: a day or two of preparation, waterproofing with cure time of at least a day or two more, then several days of laying, followed by grouting and silicone. Rushing cure times is a classic cause of failure, so a slightly slower quote is often the better one.
