Best tilers in Geraldton (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-rated wall and floor tilers working Geraldton and the Mid West, from Beachlands, Tarcoola Beach and Wandina through Mount Tarcoola, Rangeway and Utakarra up to Bluff Point, Drummond Cove and the coast road. 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 and ceramics showrooms that dominate these searches have been cut, along with roof tiling businesses, which is a different trade entirely. Below the list you’ll find what tiling actually costs in the Mid 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 tiler’s live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled fresh from Google Maps across Geraldton and the surrounding Mid West towns.
- Volume matters as much as the score. All three below hold a perfect 5.0, so the review count is what separates them: ten reviews sits first, four second, three third. Those gaps are genuinely small. Treat all three as quotes worth getting rather than a ranking to follow blindly.
- 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, so we checked coordinates, trade-directory records and business websites rather than trusting names. We also cut a roof tiling contractor: roof tiling and wall and floor tiling are separate trades that share a word.
- 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.
Bella Tiling
A perfect 5.0 across 10 reviews, which is more than double the review depth of anything else we could verify in Geraldton. The reviews describe exactly the work most people are hiring for: bathroom and laundry wall and floor tiles, kitchen splashbacks, and full bathroom renovations including tricky mosaic work on every wall. Reviewers name Dario and the team, and the recurring words are professional, efficient and cheerful, with several jobs finished in the last few months rather than years ago. It’s listed to Geraldton in independent trade directories and posts its work publicly, which is more verification than most one-man tiling outfits in a regional town offer. This is the first call.
View listing & contact ▸One Stop Bathroom Renovations
A 5.0 across 4 reviews from a Geraldton husband-and-wife team, and the reason it sits this high on a tiling page is the combination: one is a plumber, the other a tiler, and the reviews single out both sets of skills on the same job. For a full bathroom that matters more than it sounds, because the handover between the plumber and the tiler is where most renovation delays and most finger-pointing happen. Reviewers name Ben and Tia, and describe stress-free scheduling and heavy attention to detail. It’s worth being clear that this is a renovation business that tiles in-house rather than a tiling contractor you’d call for a splashback, so match it to the job.
View listing & contact ▸Jadesky Tiling
A 5.0 across 3 reviews, which is a thin sample and why the weighting keeps it third, but the trade record behind it is the deepest on this page. Its own site puts lead tiler Rodney Baynes at more than 30 years across ceramic, porcelain, travertine, marble, stone and mosaic, and the service list runs well past bathrooms: new home floors, wet areas, kitchens and splashbacks, bricking baths, shower hobs, floor screeding, balconies and external tiling, plus demolition and resurfacing where old walls come out. Waterproofing is supplied with a stated two-year warranty. The published job galleries include work out at Dongara and Jurien Bay, so it genuinely travels the Mid West. Good third quote, and the one to ring for anything unusual.
View listing & contact ▸Only three tilers made this page, and that’s deliberate. All three hold a verified Geraldton or Mid West base and a real review record. Everything else we found fell short: four local tiling businesses have no Google reviews at all, which leaves nothing public to rank, and one more holds a 5.0 from a single review, below our floor of a 4.3 rating with at least two or three reviews. The town’s best-known ceramics business is a tile store rather than a tiling contractor, and a roof tiling contractor also turns up in these searches doing an entirely different job. Regional lists are short for honest reasons, and a short verified list beats a padded one.
What tiling actually costs around Geraldton (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 |
| Out-of-town call-out (Dongara, Northampton, Jurien Bay) | $150-$400 per trip | Distance, whether materials come from Geraldton, single-day vs staged jobs |
| 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 in the Mid West specifically. The first is the size of the local trade pool: with only a handful of reviewed tilers covering Geraldton and the towns around it, lead times stretch and small jobs get scheduled around big ones, so book early rather than expecting next week. The second is materials, because tile ranges here are narrower than Perth and a special order can add both cost and a wait, which is worth knowing before you fall in love with a tile. A good tiler prices travel and materials 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 travelling crew wanting money before they start. Regional towns get worked by operators passing through, and a stranger asking for cash up front to “cover materials” before a tile is cut is the oldest version of this. Pay for materials on delivery or on account at a local supplier, keep deposits small, and prefer someone with a checkable local address you could drive to.
- 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.
- 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 and lead time agreed up front. If you’re out at Dongara, Northampton or Jurien Bay, confirm in writing whether the trip is in the price and when they can actually start.
- 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 Geraldton and the Mid West. All three hold a 5.0, so review count decides the order: ten, then four, then three. Every listing is a working tradesperson verified locally through coordinates, trade directories or its own website, not a tile store and not a roof tiler.
Will a Geraldton tiler travel to Dongara, Northampton or Jurien Bay?
Usually yes, but ask before you get attached to a quote. Mid West jobs outside the city are commonly serviced out of Geraldton, and at least one of the tilers on this page publishes work from Dongara and Jurien Bay. Travel is a real cost, so say where you are on the first call, ask whether it’s included, and get the answer on the written quote. Bundling several jobs into one visit, or lining up with a neighbour, is the easiest way to make a country call-out worth someone’s while.
Why are there only three tilers on this list?
Because that’s how many we could verify. Geraldton has a genuine handful of tilers, but several have no Google reviews at all, which leaves nothing public to rank, and one holds a single review. Rather than pad the page with names you can’t check, we listed the three with real local bases and real review records. As more Mid West tilers build a review history, the list grows.
What does it cost to retile a bathroom in Geraldton?
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. Allow for a longer lead time than Perth and for special-order tiles to take a while to arrive. 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.
