I am not liking the tiles that we currently have and am wanting a change. I have porcelain tiles in mind at the moment. Approx 16 squares of our home is made up of tiles. I am wondering if someone can kindly explain to me the process of having the home re-tiled, how long it will take from start to finish? what is involved? approx cost? (I know that depends on the type of tiles I am looking at etc) and any other information that I may need to know. Thanks Everyone Re: RE-TILING 2Jan 30, 2008 7:51 pm Are you talking about floor or wall tiles?? If floor, is your home on a concrete slab or piers? Re: RE-TILING 4Jan 30, 2008 11:53 pm Which rooms or areas? Does it include wet areas? If so, would you want the same tiles in these areas, or different? Are you SURE you want tiles, or would you consider replacing your tiled floors with a different floor-covering?
After your planning and choosing new selections, the process would begin with getting up the old tiles. Big messy job! Get a contractor to do it. If you are buying new tiles, speak to the supplier. They might arrange removing the old tiles as part of the contract, or they may refer you to a contractor. Have fun! Ash. Re: RE-TILING 5Jan 31, 2008 8:30 am Yes it includes all wet areas. I was tossing up between new tiles or polished boards but I figured tiles would be the easier option????
