Homes and buildings in Durban
Durban's warm, humid air and salty sea breeze shape every floor here. Along the Berea, Musgrave and the beachfront, older flats and homes often have terrazzo or tired vinyl that owners replace with porcelain. In Umhlanga, Morningside and Westville, new apartments and townhouses ask for large format tiles and covered patios. Grout stays damp and grows mould easily, so tilers talk about epoxy grout and good ventilation. Hotels, guesthouses and restaurants along the Golden Mile need hard-wearing, non-slip floors, and pool decks want R11 finishes. Showrooms and tilers work across the metro, with suppliers clustered in the southern and western industrial areas.
Typical tile painting requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: refreshing dated bathroom walls or a kitchen splashback without retiling
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: repainting guest bathroom walls and bar areas to match a new look
- Landlords and body corporates: a cheap update for old tiles between tenants, without demolition mess
- New builds and extensions: a colour change on tiles that arrived in the wrong shade
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: painting wall tiles on covered stoeps, never in standing water
- Shops, offices and showrooms: fast colour changes on wall tiles in shop fronts and toilets
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: washable, water-resistant coatings on wall tiles in ablutions
