Homes and buildings in Gauteng

Gauteng is the biggest tile market in the country, from Johannesburg and Pretoria to the East Rand and Vaal. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Brooklyn and Waterkloof have parquet, terrazzo and original quarry tiles that owners want matched or replaced, while Fourways, Centurion and Midrand are full of new estates and complexes asking for large porcelain. Highveld frost and big day to night swings mean outdoor tiles must be frost-resistant and laid with movement joints, and summer storms soak patios. Landlords, body corporates and builders price in bulk, and shopping centres and offices re-tile after hours. Showrooms line the main roads in every metro, and tilers travel between them daily.

Typical tile painting requests in the area come from:

  • Homeowners renovating: refreshing dated bathroom walls or a kitchen splashback without retiling
  • New builds and extensions: a colour change on tiles that arrived in the wrong shade
  • Landlords and body corporates: a cheap update for old tiles between tenants, without demolition mess
  • Shops, offices and showrooms: fast colour changes on wall tiles in shop fronts and toilets
  • Patios, stoeps and pool areas: painting wall tiles on covered stoeps, never in standing water
  • Workshops, warehouses and gyms: two-pack epoxy on canteen and ablution tiles that see heavy use
  • Guesthouses, hotels and restaurants: repainting guest bathroom walls and bar areas to match a new look
  • Schools, clinics and public buildings: washable, water-resistant coatings on wall tiles in ablutions

Highveld frost: use frost-resistant porcelain outside and movement joints. Say in your request whether the tiles go inside, outside or in a wet area, so the supplier quotes a suitable tile and finish. For more, see outdoor tiles in Gauteng.
Do you sell or lay the tiles yourselves?
No. We don't sell tiles or do tiling. We pass your request to independent tile suppliers, flooring companies and tilers, who quote you directly. Give the rooms, the size and what is there now so the quotes are easy to compare.
