Best tilers in Rockingham and Mandurah (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-rated wall and floor tilers working the coast south of Perth, from Rockingham, Waikiki, Warnbro and Safety Bay through Baldivis, Port Kennedy, Secret Harbour, Golden Bay and Singleton, down into Mandurah, Halls Head, Falcon and Dawesville. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. Every operator below is a working tile contractor we could verify to a real location on this stretch of coast, either by its map coordinates, its street address or its own trade registration. The tile showrooms, bathroom supply stores and carpet retailers that crowd these searches have all been cut. Below the list you’ll find what tiling actually costs around Perth in 2026, the two things that quietly blow a tiling quote out, the red flags that tell you to keep scrolling, and a quick 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 Rockingham, Baldivis, Port Kennedy and Mandurah.
- Volume matters as much as the score. We weight each rating by its review count, so a perfect score proven across 21 jobs sits clearly first and the three below it land within a whisker of each other. Read positions two to four as three quotes worth getting, not as a verdict on who is better.
- 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. We tell you what to check in the checklist below.
- Verified on the map, or cut. A lot of tilers down here run as service-area businesses with their address hidden, which drops them onto a shared placeholder map point. Where a listing sat on one of those points we looked for an independent signal, a real street address, its own domain, a local landline or a registered trading base, and cut it if there wasn’t one. One well-reviewed operator with no address, no website and nothing else checkable didn’t make the list for exactly that reason.
- 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.
Tiling Spirit
A perfect 5.0 across 21 reviews from a verified street address on Ambleside Parade in Waikiki, which is the deepest unblemished tiling record we found anywhere between Rockingham and Mandurah. Reviewers keep landing on the same two words, workmanship and attention to detail, and several describe multi-room jobs where the old tiles came out, the floors were levelled and the walls and floors went back in. The most recent of those was posted within the last month, so the record is current rather than historical. This is the first call.

A 5.0 held across 12 reviews from a base we placed in Baldivis on its own map coordinates rather than a shared placeholder point, which matters more here than it should. It’s an incorporated tile contractor, and its reviewers reach for the words that actually predict a good tiling job: responsive, clean, respectful of the house. Baldivis sits in the middle of this run, so Rockingham, Port Kennedy and Secret Harbour are all short trips. Get this quote alongside the one above.
View listing & contact ▸Mandurah Tiling Solutions
A 5.0 across 6 reviews, and the only operator on this page based squarely in Mandurah itself. It runs its own Mandurah domain and answers a local 9520 landline, which is what let us verify it despite the hidden address. The services it lists are a good fit for the Peel coast: bathroom and indoor tiling plus balcony and alfresco work and screeding, which is exactly the mix that salt air and outdoor living generate down here. Six reviews is a modest sample, so treat it as a strong local option to quote rather than a long track record.
View listing & contact ▸4.9 (7)
All four are working tile contractors placed on this coast: Waikiki, Baldivis, Mandurah and Port Kennedy. That Tiling Guy sits fourth on a hair rather than a gap, its 4.9 across seven reviews landing a fraction behind the 5.0 across six above it once volume is weighted; it trades from a Port Kennedy base under its own registered business number, covers ceramic, porcelain, marble and granite, and answers a local 9524 landline. We left off Stonehenge Ceramics in Port Kennedy (4.7 across 53 reviews, but Google’s own listing files it as a tile store with in-store shopping and delivery), Rockingham Tiles, Cerámico Tiles & Bathrooms, Mandurah Tile & Bathrooms and Tile Empire Mandurah (all shops or bathroom supply stores rather than tradespeople), and a 5.0 across ten reviews with no address, no website and no other checkable signal beyond a shared placeholder map point. Several more listings down here carry one review or none at all, which is below our minimum. We’d rather cut a good-looking listing than send you to a business we can’t place on the map.
What tiling actually costs around Rockingham and Mandurah (2026)
Nobody likes ringing a tiler blind on price. These are honest ballpark ranges for the common jobs, GST included, based on what Perth 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 |
| Shower regrout & reseal | $350-$800 | Mould-affected silicone, epoxy grout upgrade, leak investigation |
| Balcony or alfresco tiling | $60-$110/m² | Falls to be re-screeded, membrane over a living space, exposed coastal decks |
Ranges assume standard ceramic or porcelain and reasonable access. This coast splits neatly in two on price. Baldivis, Secret Harbour and Golden Bay are full of newer homes where large-format floors and alfresco areas dominate quotes, while older Rockingham, Safety Bay and Mandurah stock is where original wet areas, tired screeds and removal costs carry the bill. Outdoor tiling near the water is its own category: falls, drainage and membrane matter far more than the tile, and a job that skips them fails early. A good tiler prices all of it 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 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.
- An outdoor or balcony quote with no mention of falls or membrane. Close to the water this is the job that fails most often. If nobody has talked to you about drainage falls, the waterproof membrane under the bed and what happens at the edges, you’re buying a leak with a nice finish on top.
- 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).
- Recent local work. Photos of jobs finished in the last few months on this coast, and reviews mentioning your kind of job rather than just “great bloke”.
- 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 Rockingham, Baldivis, Port Kennedy and Mandurah. The weighting is why Tiling Spirit’s 5.0 across 21 reviews sits clearly first while the three below it separate by fractions. Every listing is a working tile contractor we could place on this coast, not a tile showroom, a bathroom supply store or a flooring retailer.
Why are there only four tilers on this list?
Because that’s how many we could verify. Tiling searches down here return plenty of names, but most of the strongest records belong to tile and bathroom shops rather than tradespeople, and several genuine contractors hide their address, which drops them onto a shared placeholder map point with nothing checkable behind it. Where we could confirm a base another way, by street address, a local landline, an own domain or a registered trading base, the operator is on the list. Where we couldn’t, it isn’t, whatever its star rating.
Does a Perth tiler charge more to come to Mandurah?
Often, yes, and it’s worth asking before you fall in love with a quote. Mandurah is far enough from the metro that travel gets priced in, and some Perth-based tilers quietly decline smaller jobs at that distance. The four operators on this page are all based on this coast, which is the simplest way around it. If you do get a metro quote, ask whether travel is included and get the answer in writing.
What does it cost to retile a bathroom in Perth?
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. In older Rockingham, Safety Bay and Mandurah homes, allow extra for removal and floor levelling. Get the 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.
