Floor Tiling in Christchurch
Professional Floor Tiling
Tiled floors are hard-wearing, easy to clean and look fantastic when they're laid flat with tight, consistent grout lines. We tile floors in bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, entries and whole open-plan living areas across Christchurch and Canterbury.
Large-format porcelain is increasingly popular — and it's unforgiving. Getting a flat, lippage-free finish depends on floor preparation, the right adhesive coverage and experience.
Why Choose Tiling Canterbury?
Floor preparation first
Concrete checked and levelled; timber floors stiffened with a suitable underlay to prevent cracking.
Large-format experience
600×600, 600×1200 and bigger — laid flat with levelling systems.
Choose your own tiles
Bring your own tiles from TileDirect, Mitre 10 or any supplier — you stay in control of the materials and style. We don't sell tiles, so there's no markup.
Affordable, transparent rates
Fair, itemised pricing for the installation — no markup on materials and no hidden surprises.
Floors we tile
- Open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas
- Bathrooms, ensuites, toilets and laundries
- Entranceways and hallways
- Wall and floor tiling in new builds, for builders and homeowners
- Patterned floors — checkerboard, herringbone and mosaics
The difference good preparation makes
Most tiled-floor failures — cracked tiles, hollow spots and uneven edges — come back to the substrate. New concrete slabs need time to cure and shrink before tiling, and timber floors must be rigid. We assess the floor during the free quote and include any preparation needed, so there are no surprises.

Floor Tiling FAQs
How many square metres can a tiler lay in a day?
It varies a lot with tile size, layout and preparation — an open floor with large tiles goes quicker than a small bathroom full of cuts. We'll give you a timeline for your specific job.
Can you tile over timber floorboards?
Yes, with the right preparation. Timber floors need to be stiff, so we typically install a fibre-cement underlay screwed and glued to the floor before tiling.
What is lippage?
Lippage is a height difference between neighbouring tiles. We use levelling clips on large-format tiles to keep the surface flat.
