Toowoomba Tilers

Frequently asked questions

Is Toowoomba Tilers the business doing the work?

No. Toowoomba Tilers is a referral website run by Yes Right Pty Ltd. It takes your enquiry and passes it to an independent tiler working in your area. That tiler decides whether to quote, sets the price and is responsible for the job, the contract and any warranty.

Which areas around Toowoomba can I send an enquiry from?

Enquiries are taken from Toowoomba and its suburbs in the 4350 postcode, plus nearby towns such as Highfields. Put your suburb in the form so the job can go to a tiler who covers that part of the region. Jobs further out may still find a provider, but travel can affect the price.

Does a tiler in Queensland need a licence?

For building work valued over 3,300 dollars, yes. The QBCC has a wall and floor tiling licence class that also covers applying waterproofing for tiling, and a separate waterproofing class. Ask for the licence number and check it on the QBCC register before signing anything.

What should I include in my tiling enquiry?

The suburb, the rooms or outdoor area, rough measurements in square metres, whether old tiles need removing, who is supplying the tiles and a few clear photos. For a leaking shower, add photos of any stains on nearby walls, floors or ceilings.

Can I supply my own tiles?

Many tilers will lay tiles you have bought, while others prefer to supply so they control quality and quantity. Say which you want in the enquiry. If you buy them, order extra to allow for cuts and breakages, and keep a few spares from the same batch for future repairs.

Is the Home Warranty Scheme relevant to a tiling job?

It can be. The QBCC lists tiling as insurable residential work when the job is worth more than 3,300 dollars, including labour, materials and GST. In that case the licensed contractor who contracts with you must pay the premium, which is normally built into the price.
