What to expect

Four steps, no surprises

Most homeowners do not manage tiling projects every day. Here is how we keep the process clear, from your first conversation to final handover.

01

First call

Tell us about the space, your timeframe and any tiles or plans you already have. We will ask a few practical questions and explain the next step.

02

Site visit & quote

We measure the area, assess the substrate, falls, drainage and access, then provide a detailed quote with the scope clearly set out.

03

Set-out & preparation

We prepare the surface, complete screeding or waterproofing where required, and agree on the tile layout before the first tile goes down.

04

Tile, finish & handover

Our team installs, grouts, seals and silicones the tiled surfaces. We leave the site clean and walk you through the finished work.

Quality of work second to none. From the professional quote highlighting all aspects of work to the final clean up. The whole job went smoothly. The team turned up when they said they would, were respectful and confirmed decisions previously made to ensure everything was correct. Cannot speak highly enough about Ben and the team working here, Floyd and Lachie

As a Bathroom Builder on the Sunshine Coast, it’s bloody hard to find tilers who aren’t just “good enough” but actually get so good at their trade that it becomes their craft. When someone hits that level, demand follows and the real challenge is building a team that can hold that line. Darben Tiling has genuinely lifted the standard on the Coast. Not only is the workmanship top tier, but he’s managed to put together a crew who set that same standard on every job. If you’re lucky enough to get Darben Tiling on your project, you’ll see exactly what I mean. Highly recommend!

I recently worked with Darben Tiling on a project in Kawana Island, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. As an interior designer, I really value working with trades who not only understand the vision but also deliver exceptional craftsmanship—and Darben Tiling absolutely delivered. Their team was incredibly proficient, with an eye for detail and a commitment to excellence that showed in every aspect of the finished work. They completed the project right on time, which is such a relief when coordinating with multiple trades. Their admin team was super friendly and communicative, making the whole process seamless from start to finish. I’d highly recommend Darben Tiling to anyone who wants quality tiling work and a great experience all around. Thank you for making this project such a success!

Ben and his team have done a fantastic job of my bathroom tiles. Ben is meticulous from the get go ensuring all preparations were spot on. I chose a mosaic penny round tile for a floor which requires perfect preparation and expertise. Not a job for just any tiler.. No stone was left unturned, everything had to be perfect clearly honoring the reputation they uphold. Ben really knows his stuff and is the best in the business. I had 2 different people recommend Darben Tiling and I'm wrapped I trusted their advice. Many thanks to all the team coming and going who showed respect and courtesy around the home.

Common questions

Before you book a tiler

Costs, timeframes and what is involved. These are the questions homeowners ask us most.

What does a tiling project usually cost?

The cost depends on the size of the area, tile format, substrate condition, access, waterproofing, screeding, mitres and the level of detailing required. Once we have reviewed your plans or visited the site, we provide a clear, fixed quote with the scope written out.

Timeframes depend on the size and complexity of the project. A splashback may only require a short installation, while a bathroom, whole-home floor or new build involves several stages and appropriate curing time. We explain the programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout the project.

Yes. Our team handles substrate preparation, screeding and licensed waterproofing in-house where required. Waterproofing is completed to AS 3740, documented and allowed to cure properly before tiling begins.

Yes. We can advise on tile size, layout, grout colour, edges and practical considerations such as slip resistance and maintenance. If you are working with a designer or tile supplier, we can coordinate with them too.

Yes. We work directly with homeowners, as well as builders and designers, across the Sunshine Coast. Whether you are planning a renovation, new build or individual tiled space, you can contact us directly for guidance and a quote.
