Best tilers in Bunbury (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-rated tiling and regrouting businesses working Bunbury and the towns around it, from South Bunbury, Carey Park and Withers through East Bunbury and Glen Iris out to Australind, Eaton, Dalyellup, Gelorup and Capel. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. Every operator below is a working tradesperson with a verified local base and a real review record. The tile showrooms, bathware suppliers and flooring shops that fill these searches have been cut, along with a well-reviewed operator carrying a Bunbury-region landline whose own Google listing says it works Perth’s suburbs. Below the list you’ll find what tiling actually costs in the South West in 2026, the two things that quietly blow a tiling quote out, the red flags that tell you to keep scrolling, and a checklist to run before anyone opens a bag of glue in your house.

- Google reviews do the ranking. We start with every operator’s live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled fresh from Google Maps across Bunbury, Australind, Eaton, Dalyellup and Capel.
- Volume matters as much as the score. We weight each rating by its review count, so a perfect score proven across 51 jobs sits first and a 5.0 from two reviews sits third. The gaps between these three are small, and they don’t all do the same work. Read the entries rather than just the order.
- No tiling licence exists in WA, so we look harder at the reviews. Wall and floor tiling isn’t a licensed trade in Western Australia. Anything over $20,000 must be run by a registered builder, and wet-area waterproofing has to meet AS 3740, but for a straight tiling job the review record and insurance are your real protection.
- Verified locally, or cut. Regional searches get padded with metro operators, so we checked coordinates, street addresses, local landlines and business websites rather than trusting names. We cut a 5.0-rated tiler whose Google listing carries a South West landline but describes itself as working across Perth’s suburbs, with every review naming a Perth suburb.
- Paid spots are labelled, and never jump the queue. When a business pays for a “Featured” spot it’s marked as such. The review-based order below does not change to favour a payer. Right now, no spots are sold.
ReGrout WA
A perfect 5.0 across 51 reviews is by a wide margin the deepest verified record of any tiling trade in the Bunbury region, and it is worth being clear about what earns it. This is a family-run epoxy grout specialist with its own site at regroutwa.com.au, working showers, bathroom and laundry floors, kitchen splashbacks, balconies and patios, plus leak detection and tile and soap-dish replacement. It is a repair and restoration business rather than a new-build tiling crew, so if you are tiling a new bathroom from bare substrate, look at the next two first. If your grout has failed, your shower is leaking or your balcony needs resealing, nobody in this region has a longer clean record. Reviewers consistently name Bo and cite fast scheduling and fair pricing.
View listing & contact ▸Excellent Tiling Pty Ltd
A 4.9 across 17 reviews and the strongest record of any conventional tile contractor we could verify around Bunbury. Google files it as a tile contractor and the reviews back that up: full bathroom and ensuite installs, stripping old tiles and retiling walls and floors, kitchen splashbacks and travertine work. Its map point sits south of the city on the Gelorup and Dalyellup side rather than on a shopfront strip, which fits a working tradesperson rather than a showroom, and reviewers name Andy running the job. Several mention turning up on time every day and clear communication about progress, which is the boring detail that separates a good tiling job from a six-week one. If you are doing a full retile, start here.
View listing & contact ▸Stokes Tiling
A 5.0 across 2 reviews from a checkable street address on Paris Road in Australind. Two reviews is a thin sample and both are several years old with no written detail, so the weighting keeps it third and you should treat it as a local worth quoting rather than a proven front-runner. What lifts it above the unrated listings is independent verification: its trade-directory profile describes a trade-certified tiler with around a decade of experience working ceramic, porcelain, granite, marble, terrazzo, travertine and natural stone, and the phone number matches across sources. Its Google listing is unclaimed, so ring rather than message, and ask for recent local jobs you can look at.
View listing & contact ▸Only three made this page, and that’s deliberate. Everything else we found either fell short of our minimum of a 4.3 rating with at least two or three reviews, wasn’t a tiling tradesperson, or wasn’t actually local. Bunbury has a healthy set of tile and bathware retailers, and Google files several of them under tiling searches, but a showroom that sells you tiles is not a tradesperson who lays them. One Bunbury tiler holds a 1.0 from its single review and another a 5.0 from one, both outside our floor in opposite directions. One local tiling business is marked permanently closed. Four more have no reviews at all, which means nothing public to rank. And a 5.0-rated operator with a regional landline turned out, by its own Google description and every review on it, to be working Perth’s suburbs rather than the South West. Three verified locals beats ten padded ones.
What tiling actually costs around Bunbury (2026)
Nobody likes ringing a tiler blind on price. These are honest ballpark ranges for the common jobs, GST included, based on what WA tilers are charging in 2026. They’re a guide to keep you from being overcharged, not a quote. The two numbers that quietly swing a tiling bill hardest are floor preparation (ripping up old tiles and levelling what’s underneath) and tile format (large-format 600×600-plus and mosaics both cost more to lay than a standard 300×300). Always get the prep priced separately in writing.
| Job | Typical range | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|
| Floor tiling, laying only | $45-$75/m² | Large-format tiles, herringbone or diagonal patterns, uneven slab |
| Wall tiling, laying only | $50-$90/m² | Mosaics, feature niches, window reveals, floor-to-ceiling walls |
| Old tile removal & disposal | $25-$50/m² | Tiles glued to screed, double layers, tight access, tip fees |
| Bathroom waterproofing (AS 3740) | $500-$900 | Hob-less showers, second wet areas, failed old membrane to strip |
| Full bathroom retile (floor + walls) | $2,500-$7,000 | Tile choice, floor levelling, moving drainage, niche and hob work |
| Leaking shower repair & epoxy regrout | $600-$1,500 | Full wall and floor regrout, silicone renewal, tile replacement, leak tracing |
| Kitchen or laundry splashback | $300-$800 | Glass mosaics, power point cutouts, out-of-square walls |
Ranges assume standard ceramic or porcelain and reasonable access. Two things lift quotes around Bunbury specifically. The first is travel: the pool of tilers here is small and jobs in Capel, Harvey, Collie or Donnybrook are often serviced out of Bunbury or Australind, so ask whether the trip is in the price. The second is coastal exposure, because balconies, alfrescos and pool surrounds in Bunbury, Dalyellup and Binningup take salt-laden wind and full sun, and outdoor tiling there needs the right adhesive, movement joints and a sound membrane rather than the cheapest quote. A good tiler prices both after seeing the job, in writing, before starting. If they won’t, that’s a red flag (see below).
Don’t get ripped off: red flags
- No waterproofing certificate for wet areas. Every shower and bathroom floor in WA has to be waterproofed to AS 3740 before a single tile goes down, and you should get the certificate or written confirmation for it. A tiler who shrugs at waterproofing is quoting you a leak that shows up in two years, inside a wall cavity.
- A regrout sold as the fix for a failed membrane. Regrouting genuinely solves a lot of leaking showers, and it’s far cheaper than a retile. But if the water is getting past a failed waterproofing membrane rather than through cracked grout, new grout hides the problem for a season and the damage keeps going. Anyone quoting a regrout on a leaking shower should tell you how they established where the water is actually going, and what happens if it leaks again.
- A per-room price with nothing itemised. “Bathrooms are five grand” over the phone, sight unseen, with no square-metre rate and no line for prep or waterproofing, means the surprises get invented later. A real quote separates laying, prep, waterproofing and materials.
- A big deposit up front. For home improvement work between $7,500 and $500,000, WA’s Home Building Contracts Act caps the deposit at 6.5 per cent. Anyone wanting a third or half of a bigger job before starting is either cash-flow desperate or planning a slow fade. Smaller jobs should still only carry a modest materials deposit.
- No public liability insurance. Tiling isn’t a licensed trade in WA, so insurance and the review record are your only real backstops. If they can’t show a current certificate, keep scrolling.
Before you hire: quick checklist
- Written, itemised quote. Square-metre rate, prep and removal, waterproofing, and materials each on their own line, with a start date and a rough duration.
- Waterproofing to AS 3740. Who’s doing it, and do you get a certificate. For wet areas this matters more than the tiles.
- Insurance. A current public liability certificate of currency, and if the whole job tops $20,000, a registered builder running it (that’s the WA threshold).
- Travel agreed up front. If you’re out at Capel, Harvey, Collie or Donnybrook, confirm in writing whether the quote includes the trip, and expect a small job that far out to be scheduled around bigger ones.
- Warranty in writing. What happens if grout cracks, tiles drum or the shower leaks in twelve months, and who pays for it.
Frequently asked
How did you rank these tilers?
By their live Google star rating weighted by the number of reviews behind it, pulled from Google Maps across Bunbury, Australind, Eaton, Dalyellup and Capel. The weighting is why a 5.0 across 51 reviews sits first while an identical 5.0 across two reviews sits third. Every listing is a working tradesperson verified to the region by coordinates, street address, local landline or its own website, not a tile shop or a bathware retailer.
Can regrouting fix a leaking shower, or do I need a full retile?
Often regrouting fixes it, and it costs a fraction of a retile. Water most commonly escapes through cracked or worn grout and perished silicone, and replacing both with an epoxy system seals the path without touching the tiles. What regrouting cannot fix is a failed waterproofing membrane underneath, or movement in the substrate that will crack the new grout too. A good operator checks where the water is going before quoting, tells you honestly if a retile is the real answer, and puts a warranty behind whichever one they recommend.
Why are there only three on this list?
Because that’s how many we could verify. Bunbury is a smaller market than Perth and a lot of what turns up in a tiling search here is retail: tile showrooms, bathware suppliers and flooring shops. Several genuine tilers in the area have no Google reviews at all, which leaves nothing public to rank, and one holds a single 1.0. Rather than pad the page, we listed the three with verifiable local bases and real review records. As more Bunbury tilers build a review history, the list grows.
What does it cost to retile a bathroom in the South West?
For a standard-sized bathroom, floor and walls, expect roughly $2,500 to $7,000 depending on tile choice, how much prep the floor needs and whether drainage moves. Waterproofing to AS 3740 usually adds $500 to $900 and is not the place to save money. Outside Bunbury itself, allow for travel to be priced in. Get prep and waterproofing itemised separately on the quote.
Do tilers need a licence in WA?
No. Unlike electricians or plumbers, wall and floor tilers aren’t licensed in Western Australia. Two rules still protect you: any home improvement work over $20,000 must be carried out by a registered builder, and wet-area waterproofing must meet the AS 3740 standard. Beyond that, the tiler’s review record, insurance and warranty are what you’re relying on, which is exactly why this list is ranked on reviews.
