Why invest in a professional Tiling renovation?
-
Enhanced Aesthetics
A well-executed tiling job can completely transform the look of a room. Whether you prefer sleek, modern tiles or a more rustic feel, the right tiles add texture, color, and character to your space. -
Increased Property Value
High-quality tiling increases your home’s overall value and makes it more appealing to potential buyers. Professionally installed tiles are a sign of a well-maintained home and a thoughtful design. -
Improved Durability and Protection
Tiles are not only visually appealing but also highly durable. They protect your walls and floors from moisture, stains, and wear—making them ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas. -
Easy Maintenance
Tiles are easy to clean and maintain. Unlike carpets or wooden floors, tiles resist stains, moisture, and damage, making them a long-lasting and low-maintenance flooring option.
Our Tiling Renovation Process
1. Floor and Surface Preparation
We start by securing and deep-cleaning the area to ensure the surface is ready for tiling. Any damage is repaired, and irregularities are leveled with an appropriate agent. If necessary, we’ll overboard hardwood floors and prime the surface for a secure foundation.
⸻
2. Priming
Before laying tiles over an existing surface, we assess the subfloor to confirm it can support the weight of the tiles. Our team determines whether priming is required to ensure a strong adhesive bond.
⸻
3. Measuring and Marking
Accuracy is key to a professional finish. We locate the exact center point of the room and use straight lines to guide the tile layout. Since many rooms are not perfectly square, we carefully adjust the alignment to create a balanced design.
⸻
4. Dry Laying
To avoid mistakes, we lay out a row of tiles without adhesive to ensure the design and spacing are correct. We use 3mm spacers to keep tile joins consistent and adjust the layout as needed before securing the tiles.
⸻
5. Tile Cutting and Laying
Once the design is approved, we cut the tiles to fit around edges and corners with precision. We apply adhesive with a notched trowel and press the tiles into place, twisting slightly to create a secure bond. For larger tiles, we back-butter the tile to improve adhesion.
⸻
6. Drying
After laying the tiles, we allow the adhesive to cure for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight if needed). This ensures a solid, lasting bond.
⸻
7. Grouting
We mix and apply grout carefully, ensuring it’s compatible with the tiles. We remove spacers and fill the gaps with a grout float, working at a 45-degree angle for even coverage. After 10–15 minutes, we wipe off excess grout with a damp sponge.
⸻
8. Silicone Sealing
To complete the project, we apply a silicone profile to all tile edges for a professional, finished look. We recommend waiting 24 hours before walking on the surface or adding furniture to allow the grout and adhesive to fully cure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Though theoretically feasible, tiling over tiles isn’t always the best option. While this might save you some time and money in the near term, it’s recommended that you remove any damaged or worn-out tiles before installing the new fitout.
The duration of a tiling renovation depends on the size of the area and the complexity of the design. Smaller projects, like a bathroom or kitchen backsplash, can usually be completed within 2 to 4 days. Larger or more intricate tiling jobs, such as full flooring or patterned designs, may take 1 to 2 weeks. We’ll provide a clear timeline during the consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
The best tile style for your bathroom depends on the overall look and feel you want to achieve. For a modern look, large-format tiles in neutral tones or marble-effect finishes work well. If you prefer a classic style, subway tiles or hexagonal patterns can create a timeless feel. For a spa-like atmosphere, consider natural stone or textured tiles.
At BOMO, we offer expert design guidance and can help you choose the perfect tile style to match your vision. Our team can also source high-quality tiles from trusted suppliers, ensuring a stylish and durable finish for your bathroom.
Jérémy Van Canneyt2026-08-26 A big thank you to Bomo and the whole team for the amazing work they did in our apartment. We’re really happy with the final result! Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and the team was professional, helpful and lovely to work with. A special thank you to Clara for managing the project so well and keeping everything on track. It was a real pleasure working with you, and we would definitely recommend you! ophir schapiro2026-08-07 Had my doors repainted. Very professional and pleasant to work with. Great job on the doors👍 Kate Stannard2026-08-03 What a great experience. From helping me design splitting a small-shared bathroom into two, being a sounding board on fittings, ordering parts, project management and excellent execution and speed. The whole team at BOMO are a joy to work with. Best renovation I have ever done (and I have done many). Estee Maria Redding2026-07-17 Wesley Tapson2026-05-27 I recently had my bathroom renovated by BOMO renovations, I had such nightmares with previous contractors which I had to kick off site due to extreme incompetence, and really needed someone to just come in and help. We went for high end finishes and large slab tiles, which many contractors in Cape Town are not qualified to do well, so we learned… and BOMO really did come in and save the day for us so we are extremely greatful for that. I worked with Clara, Joseph the tiler, and Blessing the project manager. Clara was very attentive and she was willing to offer any assistance which I needed, Joseph’s tiling skills were on point and he handled my big 2.4m slab tile with care and he and his assistant also really took care of my apartment which I really appreciated, they always cleaned up really well after their work too which was something I was very impressed by. Taking care of my property while doing the work is something I really wanted. Then Blessing managed the team very well and again took much emphasis on taking care of all my things while the work was underway, all in all I would highly recommend BOMO to do your renovations, as I’ve learned there is a big incompetence of contractors in Cape Town, and the standards BOMO hold is what is needed when you want your job done properly and to a higher end, not just your “simple” renovations. Stephanie Perkins2026-03-15 My motivation was to find a team who could help me physically transform my apartment, implement creative ideas, complete all the furnishing, and create a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. The team at BOMO made this happen perfectly! The most efficient timeline and communication, continuous extra effort, and attention to the small details. I am so happy with the outcome of the project and have full confidence in the team’s ability to manage the apartment on my behalf. I would recommend BOMO highly. Landre Pretorius2026-02-19 I couldn’t be happier with the work Clara did on my apartment! From start to finish, she was professional, attentive, and incredibly creative. She took the time to understand my vision and then elevated it with her own design expertise, turning my space into something far more beautiful and functional than I imagined. What impressed me most was her attention to detail—every finish, every corner, every choice felt intentional and perfectly executed. Clara managed the project seamlessly, keeping me updated throughout and making the whole process stress-free. Now, my apartment feels brighter, more spacious, and truly like home. Friends and family can’t stop complimenting the transformation, and I owe it all to Clara’s talent and dedication. If you’re considering a renovation, I wholeheartedly recommend Clara. She doesn’t just remodel spaces—she reimagines them with style, warmth, and precision.
