Tiling in Universitas
Universitas sits adjacent to the University of the Free State campus and mixes academics, families and long-term residents. The suburb's homes range from 1960s and 1970s originals to more recent renovations, and that age range means plumbing, electrical wiring and roof structures are often overdue for attention.

Great tiling makes a space, bad tiling ruins it. Our tilers lay floor and wall tiles with proper surface preparation, straight lines and clean grouting, whether it's a bathroom, kitchen, patio or a whole house. Clients regularly compliment how neat our finished tiling looks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do tiles come loose or sound hollow?
Usually poor surface preparation or the wrong adhesive. We prepare and screed surfaces properly so tiles bond permanently.
Can you tile over existing tiles?
Sometimes, if the existing surface is sound and heights allow. We'll assess and tell you honestly whether removal is the better route.
Do you waterproof before tiling showers?
Always. Wet areas are waterproofed before tiling, it's the step that prevents damp problems years later.
How long does tiling a bathroom take?
A standard bathroom typically takes 3–5 days including preparation, tiling, grouting and cleaning.
Do you supply tiles or do we choose our own?
Either works, we can supply and recommend tiles, or install tiles you've already chosen.
