Quick answer

Elite Makeovers provides tiling as part of a full home renovation in Perth. Based in Osborne Park and serving Perth's western suburbs for over 14 years, Elite Makeovers has in-house, award-winning tilers who work alongside its interior designers, carpenters and project managers. Tiling is not a separate job to organise. It is built into the renovation, from the screed and waterproofing underneath to the precision-cut tiles and grout on top.


Why it matters that tiling is included

Tiling is the most visible part of a bathroom, kitchen or laundry renovation, and the part that depends most on the work beneath it. When tiling is hired separately, the tiler, plumber, waterproofer and builder all work to their own schedules, and no one is responsible for how the layers fit together.

When tiling is part of the renovation, one team is responsible for the whole result. That means:

  • One point of contact for the design, the tiles and the finish

  • One company to pay, with no running around between trades

  • Better coordination. The tiles are chosen, ordered and set out to suit the room, not squeezed in after the fact

  • Clear accountability if anything needs to be adjusted

Tiles are included in your quote

The tiles are included in the price of your Elite Makeovers quote. Elite Makeovers purchases the tiles itself, so you do not have to buy them separately or arrange delivery. If a tile is faulty, damaged or wrong, that is Elite Makeovers' problem to sort out, not yours.

For homeowners, that means:

  • One price. The tiles are part of the quote, not an extra to organise

  • No sourcing or returns. You do not chase suppliers or manage deliveries

  • No problem tiles to deal with. Any issue is ours to fix

  • Clear accountability. The company that buys the tiles is the one responsible for them

What do tiling services in a renovation include?

A complete tiling service covers much more than laying tiles on a wall. In a full Elite Makeovers renovation, it includes:

Stage

What it covers

Tile selection

Help from an interior designer choosing tile, size, finish and grout

Layout planning

Setting out the pattern, orientation and cuts before work begins

Screed and falls

A screed layer shaped to send water to the drain

Waterproofing

A waterproofing system applied in the wet areas before any tile goes down

Precision tiling

Carefully cut and placed wall and floor tiles

Grouting and finishing

Grout colour, sealing where needed and clean, tidy edges

Protection

Your floors, furniture and corners protected during the work


The layers you never see

A tiled bathroom is a system, and the tiles are only the top layer. Three parts have to work together:

  1. The screed. It is set to create the falls, the gentle slope that carries water to the drain instead of letting it sit.

  2. The waterproofing. It is applied over the screed and up the walls in the wet areas, so water stays where it belongs.

  3. The tiles. They are precision cut and placed over the top, with grout lines that are straight and consistent.

A simple way to see whether it has been done well is the marble test: drop a handful of marbles on the finished floor. In a well-engineered bathroom, every marble ends at the drain.

Elite Makeovers' tilers and designers work with the styles Perth homeowners are choosing, including:

  • Large-format tiles, such as 600x600, for fewer grout lines and a calmer, more spacious look

  • Stone-look and terrazzo tiles in soft, warm neutrals

  • Full-height tiling, often the same tile on the walls and floor, for a seamless finish

  • A bold feature wall, such as deep green gloss tiles against a quiet backdrop

  • Textured and mosaic tiles, such as marble mosaic cladding on a pillar

  • Patterns, such as herringbone, which has a broken, staggered look, or chevron, which has sharp, continuous V-shapes

A quick grout rule

The golden rule is to match the grout to the tile. It looks seamless and calm. Going darker should only happen in a few select circumstances, and always as a deliberate choice.


Examples of recent tiling work

  • Swanbourne ensuite and bathroom. Water-damaged, cracking tiles were replaced with full-height large-format stone-look tiles, with misty grey grout and frosted shower panels.

  • Menora kids bathroom. Deep green gloss feature tiles with midnight grout behind the vanity and shower, balanced by a soft neutral tile on the floor and remaining walls.

  • Dalkeith home bar. Structural pillars reshaped into semi-circles and clad in marble mosaic.

Who does the tiling?

Elite Makeovers' own tilers do the tiling. Along with in-house carpenters and all-rounders, they are part of the team that manages your renovation from start to finish. Some specialist trades, such as plumbing and electrical, are carried out by trusted contractors, and Elite Makeovers coordinates them so you deal with one company.

Where does Elite Makeovers work?

Elite Makeovers serves Perth's western suburbs, including Dalkeith, Cottesloe, Nedlands, Claremont, Mosman Park, City Beach, Swanbourne and Menora, and surrounding areas.

Questions to ask any Perth renovator about tiling

Whoever you choose, these questions show how complete the tiling service really is:

  1. Are the tilers in-house, or are they subcontracted?

  2. Who is responsible for the screed, falls and waterproofing under the tiles?

  3. Will I see a layout or plan before the tiles are cut?

  4. Who helps me choose tiles and grout?

  5. How is my home protected during the work?

  6. What is included in the quote, and what is not?
