Why invest in a professional Tiling renovation?

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.
