After completing countless tiling projects across Perth’s diverse suburbs, one of the most common questions I hear from clients is “How long will this take?”
Whether it’s a compact bathroom in Subiaco or a sprawling open-plan living area in Joondalup, understanding project timelines helps homeowners plan effectively.
As a highly experienced tiler, let me share my real-world experience about what affects installation times and what you can realistically expect.
Typical Project Timelines
Before diving into specifics, it’s important to understand that every project is unique. However, based on my extensive experience, here are standard timeframes for common projects:
Standard Bathrooms
- Basic Timeline
- Demolition: 1 day
- Preparation: 1-2 days
- Waterproofing: 1 day (plus drying time)
- Floor tiling: 1 day
- Wall tiling: 2-3 days
- Grouting: 1 day
- Sealing and finishing: 1 day
Real Project Experience
One of our clients, Ben McNamara, shared this insight:
“Was an absolute pleasure engaging Garry and the GIB team to tile my bathroom… David (our tiler) did some awesome work, cleaned up each day, left the house as he found it.”
What Ben’s review doesn’t mention is how we structured the project timeline to minimize disruption to his daily routine.
