Vetted tilers in Randburg. Book now.

Randburg tilers charge in the region of R180 – R320 per m² labour on floors and R220 – R380 per m² on walls, with a call-out minimum of R350 – R650. Levelling or new screed, common in 1960s to 80s houses, is R120 – R250 per m² and tile removal R80 – R150 per m². Tiles from R150 – R900+ per m² are priced separately from labour.

Yes, if the existing floor is sound and level — a tiler will tap for hollow spots, prime the glazed surface and use a flexible adhesive. It avoids days of rubble in an occupied house. Bear in mind the finished floor rises by around 12mm, so doors need trimming and thresholds to carpeted rooms or the stoep will need a step or ramp strip.

Many older Randburg homes have screeds that have cracked, hollowed or were never level in the first place, and tiles laid over them fail quickly. A tiler will check with a straightedge and by tapping; patch repairs and a self-levelling compound often do, but a fully drummy screed should come out. Ask for the substrate assessment in writing before the quote is final.

Regrouting at about R1,500 – R4,000 per bathroom makes sense when the tiles are firmly bonded and you can live with the style. It is a two-day job with no rubble. Retiling is the better spend if tiles are drummy, the shower leaks or you are renovating anyway, since new waterproofing goes in at the same time.
