Our tiling and flooring installations include proper waterproofing to Australian Standards, anti-slip ratings for family safety, and quality materials that withstand Hobart’s moisture and temperature fluctuations. From porcelain planks to natural stone, we’ll help you choose materials that suit your style and budget—then install them right the first time.
Best Bathroom Floor Tiles for Hobart
Porcelain tiles are the top choice for Hobart bathroom floors due to their superior density, low water absorption, and resistance to Tasmania’s moisture and temperature fluctuations. They’re highly durable and require minimal maintenance.
Ceramic tiles offer excellent water resistance and durability at a more budget-friendly price point, making them ideal for family bathrooms.
Key considerations for Hobart conditions:
- Choose textured or matt finishes for slip resistance (minimum R10 rating)
- Select tiles rated for wet areas and freeze-thaw cycles.
- Consider heated floor compatibility for cold Hobart winters.
- Natural stone (travertine, slate) provides luxury but requires regular sealing and maintenance.
- Timber-look porcelain planks combine warmth and aesthetics with porcelain’s waterproof performance—perfect for Hobart’s climate.

Our Hobart Bathroom Tiling and Flooring Services
Floor Tile Installation with Anti-Slip Ratings
We install bathroom floor tiles with proper anti-slip ratings (R10-R13) for safety in wet conditions. Every installation includes substrate preparation, levelling, and waterproofing to handle Hobart’s moisture.
Wall Tiling for Showers and Feature Areas
Complete wall tiling for shower enclosures, splashbacks, and feature walls. We handle everything from full-height shower tiling to accent niches, coordinating patterns and finishes for a cohesive look.
Waterproof Membrane Application and Wet Area Compliance
Professional waterproofing to AS 3740 standards before any tile installation. We apply membranes to floors, walls, and critical junctions to prevent moisture damage and mould growth in Hobart bathrooms.
Grout, Sealing, and Finishing Work
High-quality grout application with mould-resistant formulas. We seal natural stone and porous tiles, finish all edges cleanly, and ensure every detail meets professional standards for long-term performance.
Choosing the Right Tiles for Hobart's Climate
Porcelain vs Ceramic: What Works Best in Tasmania
Porcelain offers superior water resistance and durability for high-use Hobart bathrooms. Ceramic provides good performance at a lower cost. Both handle Tasmania’s temperature swings, but porcelain lasts longer.
Natural Stone and Timber-Look Options
Natural stone, like travertine and slate, adds luxury but needs regular sealing in Hobart’s humid conditions. Timber-look porcelain planks give you warmth and style without timber’s maintenance headaches.
Slip-Resistant Tiles for Hobart’s Moisture Conditions
Textured and matt finish tiles prevent slips in wet Hobart bathrooms. We recommend R10 minimum for floors, R11-R12 for shower areas. Polished tiles look great but can be dangerous when wet.
Coordinating Floor and Wall Tiles for Cohesive Design
Matching or complementary floor and wall tiles create a unified bathroom aesthetic. We help you balance large format floors with feature walls, ensuring materials work together without overwhelming small Hobart bathrooms.
Professional Installation with Compliant Waterproofing
Substrate Preparation and Floor Levelling
Proper substrate prep and levelling prevent future tile cracking and water pooling. We fix uneven floors common in older Hobart homes, creating stable surfaces for long-lasting tile installations.
AS 3740 Waterproofing Standards for Hobart Bathrooms
All our installations meet AS 3740 waterproofing requirements. We apply certified membranes to wet areas, seal penetrations, and protect your Hobart home from water damage and costly repairs down the track.
Heated Floor Integration and Tile Layout Planning
We integrate heated floor systems before tiling, perfect for cold Hobart winters. Tile layout is planned to minimise cuts, maximise aesthetics, and ensure heating cables are positioned correctly for even warmth.
Grout Selection and Long-Term Maintenance
We use epoxy or high-quality cement grouts with mould inhibitors for Hobart’s humid conditions. Proper grout joints and sealing mean easier cleaning and less maintenance over your bathroom’s lifetime.
The Benefits of Quality Tiling and Flooring

Frequently Asked Questions About Tiling and Flooring in Hobart
Most bathroom tiling projects take 3-5 days, depending on size and complexity. We need time for waterproofing to cure (24-48 hours) before tiling, then grout needs another 24 hours to set properly. Heated floors add an extra day. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during your consultation.
Sometimes, but we don’t recommend it. Tiling over old tiles adds height (which affects doors and fixtures) and hides potential water damage underneath. We usually remove old tiles to check the substrate, fix any issues, and apply fresh waterproofing for a proper job.
Bathroom tiling typically costs $80-$150 per square meter for materials and labour combined, depending on tile choice and complexity. A standard Hobart bathroom (5-8 square meters) runs $2,500-$6,000, including waterproofing. We provide detailed quotes after seeing your space.
Heated floors aren’t required, but they’re popular in Hobart for good reason. Our winters are brutal, and stepping onto warm tiles beats freezing feet every morning. They also help dry the bathroom faster, reducing mould risk. Running costs are surprisingly low—about $2-4 per week.
We recommend a minimum of R10 for bathroom floors, R11-R12 for shower areas. These ratings mean the tiles have enough texture to prevent slips when wet. Polished tiles might look beautiful in the showroom, but they’re dangerous in Hobart bathrooms where moisture is constant.
