    Renovations

    Bathroom renovations in Macgillivray

    A full bathroom renovation in Macgillivray 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 Macgillivray

    Licensing and insurance are not paperwork for its own sake. If an unlicensed tiler's waterproofing fails, the owner is usually the one carrying the cost, and a body corporate or property manager has little to fall back on. SA Tiling Pro is fully licensed and insured, and we can provide the documentation before work starts in Macgillivray.

    Kingscote has a mix of older weatherboard and brick homes alongside newer builds, while the coastal settlements at Emu Bay, American River and Penneshaw have many holiday houses and shacks. Inland around Parndana, farmhouses date from the post-war soldier settlement scheme, and a number of homes across the island are recent rebuilds following the 2019-20 bushfires.

    New builds and extensions in Macgillivray

    On new work we tile to plan and to program. We liaise with your builder on set-downs, falls and waterproofing inspections, and we schedule around other trades so your build keeps moving.

    Matching discontinued tiles in Macgillivray

    Many tiles fitted in South Australian homes decades ago are no longer made, so a repair often means sourcing the closest match or working the new tiles into a deliberate feature. We will tell you honestly which is possible before you commit to anything.

    Things we consider on Kangaroo Island

    • Bushfire rebuilds and new construction

      Much of the island is bushfire-prone and many homes have been rebuilt since the 2019-20 fires. Wet areas in these new builds are waterproofed to AS 3740 and floors are set out to suit the new slab or sheet flooring, with movement joints placed as AS 3958.1 recommends.

    • Salt air on exposed coasts

      Homes on the island's coastline cop salt-laden wind, particularly on the south and west coasts facing the Southern Ocean. Outdoor areas need frost-resistant tiles, exterior-grade adhesives and grouts, and balconies over living areas are waterproofed to AS 4654.

    How it works

    What a tiling job in Macgillivray looks like

    The work itself follows a fixed order: preparation, waterproofing where it applies, tiling, grouting, sealing and clean-up. We check each stage before moving to the next, because a level floor and a dry membrane are far easier to get right than to fix.

    Are you licensed and insured?
    SA Tiling Pro is a fully licensed tiling contractor and carries public liability insurance. Details are available with your quote.
    What affects the cost of tiling in Macgillivray?
    The main factors are the area to be tiled, the tile size and material, the condition of the substrate, waterproofing requirements and layout complexity such as herringbone or mosaics. Your itemised quote shows exactly what is included.
    Do you travel to Macgillivray?
    Yes. SA Tiling Pro services all of South Australia, and Macgillivray is a ferry ride from Cape Jervis. For metropolitan work we travel daily; for regional and remote jobs we arrange travel so the work is completed in as few trips as possible.
    What tiles suit a coastal home on the island?
    For outdoor areas and exposed entries, use frost-resistant porcelain or stone with a suitable AS 4586 slip rating, laid with exterior-grade adhesive. Inside, salt air is less of a concern, but wet areas still need waterproofing to AS 3740 and sealed grout to cope with tank or bore water. We can advise on tile selection when we quote.
    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.
