    Renovations

    Bathroom renovations in Kensington

    A full bathroom renovation in Kensington is one of the most common jobs we quote. SA Tiling Pro manages the whole project: strip-out, coordination of licensed plumbers and electricians, screeds and waterproofing to AS 3740, floor and wall tiling, fit-off of screens, mirrors and accessories, and the licensed plumber fitting off vanities, toilets and tapware.

    Most renovations take two to four weeks. We keep the rest of the house usable, clean up daily and give you a written, itemised quote before any demolition starts.

    Local knowledge

    Tiling homes and businesses in Kensington

    A tiler who is licensed and insured protects you as much as the finished result does. SA Tiling Pro carries public liability insurance and stands behind every job in Kensington, from a small repair to a full renovation.

    Norwood, Kensington, St Peters and College Park hold some of Adelaide's best-kept Victorian bluestone villas and cottages, while Burnside, Tusmore and Linden Park are known for interwar bungalows and 1950s and 1960s cream-brick homes. Further out, Campbelltown, Paradise, Newton and Athelstone are dominated by 1960s to 1980s brick homes, many now being replaced by two-storey rebuilds and townhouses.

    Renovating an existing home in Kensington

    Older bathrooms and kitchens often hide uneven floors, out-of-square walls and tired waterproofing. We strip out carefully, level and prepare the substrate, then waterproof and tile so the new finish is flat, dry and built to last.

    Coordinating with other trades in Kensington

    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 Kensington does not stall on site waiting for someone else.

    About Kensington

    Kensington (postcode 5068) is part of the Adelaide Eastern Suburbs region, 5 to 20 minutes east of the CBD. SA Tiling Pro is Adelaide based and services Kensington along with nearby Heathpool, Kensington Gardens, Kensington Park.

    Things we consider in Adelaide's Eastern Suburbs

    • Wet areas in heritage villas

      Bluestone villas and bungalows in Norwood, Kensington and St Peters often have timber floors, uneven substrates and bathrooms added long after the house was built. We level and prepare the floor and waterproof to AS 3740 before any tile goes down.

    • Reactive clay and movement joints

      Much of the eastern suburbs sits on reactive clay that swells in wet winters and shrinks over dry summers, and the slab moves with it. We place movement joints at the spacings set out in AS 3958.1 so tiles do not crack or drum when the ground shifts.

    FAQ

    Tiling questions from Kensington

    SA Tiling Pro is available Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm, for quotes and bookings in Kensington 5068. There is no charge and no obligation, and you will get a straight answer on whether we can help.

    How far ahead do I need to book?
    Lead times vary with the season and the size of the job. Small repairs can often be fitted in quickly, while full bathroom renovations are best booked a few weeks ahead so tile orders and other trades line up.
    How long will the tiling take?
    A single bathroom typically takes several days once waterproofing cure times are allowed for; a splashback or a small floor can be quicker, and a commercial fit-out longer. We give you a schedule with the quote for your job in Kensington and tell you straight away if anything changes. Cure times cannot be rushed, so we build them into the program rather than cutting them short.
    Do you take on small jobs like regrouting or a few cracked tiles?
    Yes. Tile repairs and regrouting are a regular part of our work across South Australia, and a small job in Kensington done properly often saves a much bigger one later. We quote small jobs the same way as large ones, in writing and without obligation.
    Do you cover every suburb in the eastern suburbs, or just the main ones?
    We cover all 59 suburbs in postcodes 5064 to 5076, from Hackney and College Park through to Athelstone and Castambul. It is all metropolitan work for us, so there is no regional travel to arrange. Quotes are free, and site visits are booked during our normal hours, Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm.
    Do you supply the tiles or can I buy my own?
    Either works. We can source tiles through our suppliers or lay tiles you have already chosen. If you are supplying your own, we will tell you how much to order including a cutting allowance.
