Professional floor layers on TaskerAsker handle supply and installation, subfloor levelling, underlay selection, removal of existing flooring, and fitting of trims and transitions. Timber floors require on-site acclimatisation (24–72 hours) before laying. Post your floor job with the area in square metres and your preferred floor type for written quotes.
Bathroom, kitchen & outdoor tiling
Tiling in wet areas requires proper waterproofing beneath the tiles to prevent structural water damage — a regulated requirement in most Australian states. Professional tilers on TaskerAsker handle full bathroom re-tiles (walls and floor), kitchen splashback tiling, outdoor paving and alfresco areas, pool surrounds and feature walls. Always ask your tiler for their waterproofing method and membrane type, and confirm they will provide a compliance certificate.

Frequently asked questions about flooring & tiling services
How much does timber floor installation cost in Australia?
Solid hardwood or engineered timber flooring installation in Australia typically costs $60–$120 per square metre for labour, plus $50–$200/m² for the timber depending on species and grade. Laminate and hybrid vinyl plank (LVP) flooring is more affordable at $30–$70/m² supply-and-lay. For a standard 3-bedroom home (80–90 m² of living areas), total floor installation costs range from $7,000 for laminate to $25,000+ for premium hardwood. Subfloor preparation, levelling and removal of existing flooring are usually quoted as extras. Always confirm these inclusions in writing before committing to a quote.
How much does bathroom or kitchen tiling cost in Australia?
Tiling installation costs in Australia typically range from $45–$120 per square metre for labour, depending on tile size, pattern and complexity. Tile supply adds $30–$200+/m² depending on the product. A standard bathroom re-tile (floor and walls, approximately 20–25 m²) costs $2,500–$7,000 all-in. Large-format tiles (600 × 600 mm+), herringbone or mosaic patterns cost more to lay due to the extra skill and wastage. Wall tiling for a kitchen splashback (typically 2–3 m²) runs $300–$800 including labour and tiles.
Do tilers need to be licensed in Australia?
Waterproofing requirements make tiling in wet areas a regulated trade in most states. In Queensland, a QBCC licence is required for tiling and waterproofing work. In Victoria, tilers performing waterproofing in wet areas must be registered with the VBA. In NSW, tiling in residential wet areas requires a contractor licence for work over $5,000. Poor waterproofing behind tiles is one of the leading causes of structural water damage in Australian homes. Always ask your tiler for their waterproofing qualifications and method before any wet-area tiling begins.
How long does floor installation or tiling take?
Laying new flooring in a standard 3-bedroom home (80–90 m²) takes 2–5 days for an experienced installer, depending on the floor type, subfloor preparation required and acclimatisation time for timber (typically 24–72 hours on site before laying). A bathroom re-tile (walls and floor) takes 3–5 days including adhesive and grout curing time. The bathroom is not usable until grouting is complete and waterproofing has cured — allow 48–72 hours after tiling completes before using the shower or bath. Your installer should confirm the exact timeline in the written quote.
How do I find a local floor or tiling specialist?
Post your flooring or tiling job on TaskerAsker with your suburb, the type of floor or tile work needed, the approximate area in square metres and any photos of the current floor. Verified, ABN-checked flooring specialists and tilers servicing your area will respond with written no-obligation quotes. Compare quotes, check licence details and read customer reviews before choosing. Posting is free.
Can I lay new flooring over existing tiles or floorboards?
In some cases, yes — but only if the existing floor is structurally sound, level, clean and firmly bonded. LVP (hybrid vinyl plank) and laminate floating floors can be installed over existing tiles or timber, adding only 8–12 mm to the floor height (check door clearance first). Tiling over existing tiles is possible on a solid substrate but adds significant weight and height. Have your installer assess the subfloor condition before assuming overlay is appropriate — an unsound or uneven subfloor causes premature failure regardless of the flooring type chosen.
