    Renovations

    Renovating a bathroom in Hillcrest

    Homes in Hillcrest and across Adelaide North-Eastern Suburbs range from older bathrooms with tired tiles and failing waterproofing to newer rooms that simply need a refresh. Either way, we start with a site visit, talk through layout and tile options, and quote the renovation in full.

    From there SA Tiling Pro runs the job as a single trade, booking plumbing and electrical work around our program so the bathroom comes back together in the right order and to the timeline we set out in the quote.

    Local knowledge

    Tiling homes and businesses in Hillcrest

    Every home in Hillcrest is different, which is why we quote on site rather than over the phone. Seeing the substrate, the drainage and the existing finishes lets us give you an accurate price and a realistic timeframe.

    Housing ranges from post-war Housing Trust homes around Enfield, Northfield and Gilles Plains, through 1960s and 1970s brick homes in Ingle Farm, Para Hills and Modbury, to 1980s and 1990s estates at Golden Grove and Wynn Vale. Mawson Lakes, Lightsview and Northgate are newer, and the older suburbs are seeing steady infill as townhouses replace single homes on large blocks.

    Coordinating with other trades in Hillcrest

    Tiling depends on what comes before it, so we confirm with the plumber, the waterproofer and the builder that the substrate, the falls and the rough-in are right before we start. That way the job in Hillcrest does not stall on site waiting for someone else.

    Renovation or new build in Hillcrest

    On a renovation we deal with what is already there: uneven screeds, old membranes, plumbing that has moved and tiles that were never level. On a new build we work to the plans, coordinate with the builder and other trades, and have the wet areas ready for fit-off when the program says they should be.

    About Hillcrest

    Hillcrest (postcode 5086) is part of the Adelaide North-Eastern Suburbs region, 15 to 30 minutes north-east of the CBD. SA Tiling Pro is Adelaide based and services Hillcrest along with nearby Gilles Plains, Greenacres, Hampstead Gardens.

    Things we consider in Adelaide's North-Eastern Suburbs

    • Original bathrooms without membranes

      Many 1960s and 1970s homes in the north-east still have their first bathroom, often with no waterproofing membrane at all. A renovation means stripping back to the substrate, waterproofing the wet area to AS 3740, then tiling.

    • Reactive clay and slab movement

      Much of the Adelaide Plains sits on reactive clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons, and sloping foothills blocks add split-level slabs to the picture. We check slabs for cracking before we start and plan movement joints in line with AS 3958.1.

    FAQ

    Tiling questions from Hillcrest

    Whether the job is in Hillcrest or one of the nearby areas such as Gilles Plains, Greenacres, Hampstead Gardens, we quote it the same way: on site where practical, in writing, with no obligation. Get in touch and we will organise a time.

    How does a quote for Hillcrest work?
    Quotes are free and carry no obligation. Where practical we come out to Hillcrest, measure up, look at the substrate and the existing waterproofing, and put the price in writing. Where distance makes that impractical, or the job is a new build, we quote from plans and photos first and confirm on site. The quote sets out what is included so there are no surprises once work starts.
    Do you do commercial tiling in Hillcrest?
    Yes. Commercial work is part of what SA Tiling Pro does across South Australia, from a single shop or clinic fit-out to community buildings and multi-unit developments. We confirm the slip resistance rating the floor needs before tiles are chosen (tiles are classified under AS 4586), plan staged work where the premises must stay open, and keep the documentation in order for the builder or property manager.
    Can I supply my own tiles?
    Of course. Many Hillcrest customers choose their own tiles. We will tell you how much to order, including a cutting allowance, and check the tiles on delivery before we start.
    The tiles in my 1970s home are cracking. Is that the soil?
    Often, yes. Much of the Adelaide Plains sits on reactive clay, and the slab moves as the ground wets and dries through the year. We inspect the slab, allow for movement joints in line with AS 3958.1, and choose adhesives suited to the substrate before we repair or retile.
    Is waterproofing included in bathroom tiling?
    Yes. Any wet area we tile is waterproofed to Australian Standard AS 3740 before tiling begins. Waterproofing is itemised on your quote so you can see exactly what is included.
