Homes and buildings in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a big, uneven city for tiling. Older suburbs such as Parkview, Melville, Observatory and Linden have original terrazzo, parquet and Marseille tile floors that owners want repaired or matched rather than ripped out. Inner city flats in Berea and Yeoville are usually re-tiled by landlords between tenants, while the northern suburbs lean towards large porcelain slabs and open plan living. Restaurants, offices and shops around Braamfontein and Fourways need hard wearing commercial floors laid over weekends. Summer storms and cold winter nights mean outdoor tiles should be frost resistant, and old screeds on mining ground sometimes crack, so ask the tiler to check the base first.
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
- 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
- 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
- Schools, clinics and public buildings: washable, water-resistant coatings on wall tiles in ablutions
