Bathroom Tile Materials
We work with a wide range of tile materials to suit your style, budget, and practical requirements.
Ceramic Tiles
The most popular choice for bathroom walls. Affordable, easy to maintain, and available in thousands of colours, patterns, and sizes. Ideal for splashbacks and feature walls.
Porcelain Tiles
Denser and more water-resistant than ceramic, porcelain is the go-to for shower floors and wet areas. Extremely durable and available in finishes that replicate natural stone, timber, and concrete.
Mosaic Tiles
Small-format tiles on mesh backing, perfect for shower floors, feature strips, and niches. Available in glass, ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone for endless design possibilities.
Natural Stone
Marble, travertine, slate, and limestone bring organic warmth and luxury to any bathroom. Requires sealing but delivers a timeless, high-end aesthetic that ages beautifully.
Large-Format Tiles
Tiles over 600mm create fewer grout lines and a seamless, spacious feel. Popular for modern Wellington bathrooms where a clean, minimalist look is the goal. Requires expert installation.
Waterproofing Compliance
Waterproofing is not optional in wet areas — it is a legal requirement under the New Zealand Building Code. All bathroom tiling by Rohullah Rassuli Tiling Services includes waterproofing that meets the NZS 4858 standard for wet area membranes.
We apply liquid-applied waterproofing membranes to shower walls, floors, and any surface that will be exposed to water. Band reinforcement is used at all internal corners, floor-to-wall junctions, and around penetrations such as shower mixers and waste outlets.
When your project requires building consent, we provide PS3 producer statements to confirm that waterproofing has been installed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications and NZS 4858. This documentation is essential for code compliance sign-off in the Wellington region.
Our 7-Step Bathroom Tiling Process
A proven workflow that delivers consistent, high-quality results on every bathroom project.
1. Consultation
We visit your property to discuss your vision, review the existing bathroom, and talk through tile options, layout, and budget. This initial consultation is completely free.
2. Measurement & Quote
Precise measurements are taken to calculate tile quantities, adhesive, grout, and waterproofing materials. You receive a detailed, itemised quote with no hidden costs.
3. Surface Preparation
Existing tiles are removed (if applicable), and the substrate is inspected, repaired, and levelled. Proper preparation is the foundation of a long-lasting tile installation.
4. Waterproofing
Liquid-applied membranes are applied to all wet areas, with band reinforcement at corners and junctions. We allow proper curing time before any tiles are laid.
5. Tiling
Tiles are laid using premium adhesives, with careful attention to layout, spacing, and alignment. We use levelling systems to ensure a perfectly flat finish, especially with large-format tiles.
6. Grouting & Sealing
Grout is applied, cleaned, and sealed where required. Silicone sealant is used at all movement joints, corners, and junctions between tiles and fixtures.
7. Final Clean-Up & Handover
The completed bathroom is thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and handed over to you. We walk you through the finished work and provide care and maintenance advice for your new tiles.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bathroom Tiling
How long does a bathroom tiling job take in Wellington?
A standard bathroom tiling project typically takes 3 to 5 days, depending on the size of the bathroom and complexity of the tile layout. This includes surface preparation, waterproofing, tile installation, and grouting. Larger renovations with custom designs may take up to 7 days.
Do you waterproof the bathroom before tiling?
Yes, waterproofing is a critical step in every bathroom tiling project. We apply NZS 4858 compliant waterproofing membranes to all wet areas including showers, floors, and around baths. This protects your home from moisture damage and is required by New Zealand building standards.
What types of tiles work best for bathrooms?
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are the most popular choices for Wellington bathrooms due to their durability and water resistance. Large-format porcelain tiles create a modern, spacious feel with fewer grout lines, while mosaic tiles work well for shower floors where extra grip is needed. We can advise on the best options for your space and budget.
