Homes and buildings in East London
East London enjoys a mild, humid coastal climate, with warm summers and frequent drizzle blowing in from the Indian Ocean. Beachfront flats at Nahoon and Gonubie, family homes in Beacon Bay and Vincent, and older houses in Selborne and Southernwood show a broad mix of floors, from original parquet and Marseille tiles to modern porcelain. Damp walls and grout mould are common complaints, so tilers stress good waterproofing in bathrooms. Mdantsane has many owners improving homes in stages, and Bhisho and Qonce add government and school work. Showrooms and tilers serve the whole metro, with specialist stone and imported tiles sometimes ordered through Gqeberha or Durban.
Typical tile painting requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners renovating: refreshing dated bathroom walls or a kitchen splashback without retiling
- 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
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: washable, water-resistant coatings on wall tiles in ablutions
- Shops, offices and showrooms: fast colour changes on wall tiles in shop fronts and toilets
- Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: repainting guest bathroom walls and bar areas to match a new look
- Patios, stoeps and pool areas: painting wall tiles on covered stoeps, never in standing water
