Kitchen Tiling
The kitchen is the heart of every Wellington home, and the right tiles can transform it from functional to stunning. Whether you need a striking splashback behind the hob, durable floor tiles that handle heavy foot traffic, or a feature wall that ties the whole room together, Rohullah Rassuli Tiling Services delivers kitchen tiling that looks exceptional and performs brilliantly.
We work with homeowners, kitchen designers, and builders across the Wellington region to install tiles that complement cabinetry, benchtops, and appliances. From classic subway tiles in a Thorndon villa to bold geometric patterns in a modern Petone apartment, we bring precision and care to every kitchen tiling project.
Kitchen Tiling Services
Expert tile installation for every surface in your kitchen.
Kitchen Splashbacks
Protect the walls behind your benchtops, hob, and sink with a tiled splashback. We install everything from simple single-row splashbacks to full-height feature walls that run from benchtop to rangehood and beyond.
Kitchen Floor Tiling
Hard-wearing floor tiles that stand up to daily kitchen demands — spills, dropped utensils, and constant foot traffic. We ensure proper levelling and use slip-resistant finishes for safety.
Feature Walls
Create a focal point in your kitchen with a tiled feature wall. Textured tiles, bold patterns, or contrasting colours can define a dining nook, frame a window, or highlight an island bench.
Island Bench Cladding
Tile the sides of your kitchen island for a polished, contemporary look. Large-format tiles, stone-effect porcelain, or slim-profile panels create a seamless finish that is easy to clean.
Open-Plan Kitchen-Living Areas
When your kitchen flows into the living and dining space, consistent floor tiling ties the whole area together. We handle large open-plan layouts with careful attention to expansion joints and transitions.
Butler's Pantry & Scullery
Functional tile finishes for pantries and sculleries — splash-proof walls, easy-clean floors, and practical layouts designed for working spaces behind the main kitchen.
Popular Kitchen Tile Styles
Wellington homeowners love these trending tile styles for their kitchen projects.
Subway Tiles
The timeless classic. Available in standard 75x150mm or elongated 75x300mm formats, subway tiles suit everything from heritage villas to modern minimalist kitchens. Lay them in brick bond, herringbone, or vertical stack for completely different looks.
Mosaic Tiles
Small-format tiles on mesh backing that add texture, colour, and visual interest. Glass mosaics reflect light beautifully, while stone mosaics bring organic warmth. Perfect for splashbacks and feature strips.
Glass Tiles
Sleek, reflective, and easy to clean. Glass tiles are ideal for splashbacks where you want maximum light reflection. Available in a wide range of colours — from subtle neutrals to vibrant statement shades.
Large-Format Porcelain
Tiles over 600mm create a seamless, modern look with minimal grout lines. Stone-effect and concrete-effect porcelain is particularly popular in contemporary Wellington kitchens with clean-line cabinetry.
Geometric & Patterned Tiles
Hexagons, chevrons, fish scales, and Moroccan-inspired patterns make bold design statements. Use them as a splashback feature or to define a specific zone in an open-plan layout.
Handmade & Artisan Tiles
Slightly irregular edges and glazes give handmade tiles a warm, characterful look that complements Wellington's many heritage homes. Each tile is unique, creating a one-of-a-kind finish.
Why Tile Your Kitchen?
Durability
Quality tiles withstand heat, moisture, stains, and daily wear far better than paint or wallpaper. A professionally tiled splashback will look as good in ten years as it does on day one.
Easy Cleaning
Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles wipe clean in seconds. No special products needed — just a damp cloth to remove cooking splashes, grease, and everyday grime.
Heat Resistance
Tiles behind your hob and oven handle heat without discolouration or damage. Unlike acrylic or laminate splashbacks, tiles will not warp, melt, or yellow over time.
Added Property Value
A well-tiled kitchen is a strong selling point. Wellington buyers expect quality finishes, and professional tiling signals a home that has been maintained and upgraded with care.
Endless Design Options
With thousands of tile colours, sizes, textures, and patterns available, you can create a kitchen that is uniquely yours — from understated elegance to bold, statement-making design.
Hygienic Surface
Non-porous glazed tiles do not harbour bacteria or absorb odours. This makes tiled surfaces the hygienic choice for food preparation areas and sink surrounds.

Kitchen tiling projects often involve floor tiling that extends into adjoining living areas. If you are renovating the whole kitchen, you may also want underfloor heating installed beneath floor tiles for added comfort during Wellington's cooler months.

Frequently Asked Questions — Kitchen Tiling
What is the best tile for a kitchen splashback?
Subway tiles, glass tiles, and porcelain tiles are all excellent choices for kitchen splashbacks. Subway tiles offer a timeless look, glass tiles are easy to clean and add a modern feel, and porcelain tiles come in endless patterns including marble-look finishes. We help you choose the right tile for your kitchen design and budget.
How long does it take to tile a kitchen splashback?
A kitchen splashback typically takes 1 to 2 days to complete, including surface preparation, tile installation, and grouting. Larger kitchens or complex mosaic patterns may take an additional day. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to your kitchen routine.
Can you tile over existing kitchen tiles?
In some cases, yes. If the existing tiles are firmly bonded, level, and in good condition, we can tile over them using a suitable adhesive. However, we always recommend removing old tiles for the best long-term result. We will assess your situation during our free quote visit and recommend the best approach.
Do you supply the tiles or do I need to buy them?
You can supply your own tiles, or we can help you source them. We work closely with local Wellington tile suppliers and can recommend quality products that suit your style and budget. Either way, we will advise on the correct quantities to order, including a recommended allowance for cuts and waste.
