Premium Tile and Stone Installation

We specialise in the meticulous installation of high-value surface materials, including large-format tiles, marble, and custom mosaics. We ensure proper preparation (subfloor levelling and substrate rigidity) is complete before installation, which is critical for protecting the final finish.

Custom Vanity and Joinery Integration

We design and install bespoke joinery that maximises storage and complements the bathroom aesthetic. Our focus is on using moisture-resistant materials and precision fitting to ensure the vanity is a flawless, long-lasting component of the room.

Concealed and Wall-Mounted Fixture Installation

For a minimalist, high-end look, we expertly install all concealed fixtures, including in-wall cisterns, wall-mounted taps, and built-in shower niches. This work is handled meticulously by our in-house plumbers to ensure reliability behind the finished wall.

Our clients frequently praise the flawless execution and finish of the materials we install, often highlighting the quality of our tiling and the seamless integration of custom features in their 5-STAR REVIEWS.

Our design and installation process is rigorous, ensuring all materials are handled and fitted to a guaranteed premium standard.

1. Material Specification and Procurement Planning: We confirm all design details and create a detailed procurement schedule, ensuring materials—especially those with long lead times—are secured to maintain the 4–6 week timeline.

2. Rough-In Precision Check: Before wall sheeting, our in-house plumber and electrician perform a final check of all rough-in heights and depths, accounting for the chosen tile thickness to ensure all fixtures align perfectly with the finished surface.

3. Waterproofing for Material Protection: The application of the certified membrane protects the subfloor, which in turn protects the expensive finishing materials from movement or moisture damage from below.

4. Meticulous Tiling Execution: Tiling is executed by our master tilers, who perform dry layouts to ensure pattern and grout lines are perfect, especially around feature tiles and custom niches.

5. Final Fixture Installation and Sealing: All final fixtures, from frameless glass to tapware, are installed and sealed meticulously. All silicone work is executed cleanly and professionally to prevent future mould issues.



6. Final Quality Audit: Our project manager checks every joint, alignment, and seal against the original design specification, ensuring the luxury aesthetic is delivered perfectly.

The true value of a luxury material lies in its installation. Our guarantee covers the precision required to deliver a flawless final product.

The 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee: This warranty provides crucial security for your material investment. It guarantees the quality of our installation for seven years, covering any failure resulting from poor labour, such as tiles lifting, grout cracking (if due to installation error), or fixtures coming loose.

Controlled Installation Environment: By relying solely on our in-house team, we ensure that high-end materials are handled by professionals familiar with our quality standards, eliminating damage or installation errors common with outsourced labour.



Materials Advice and Durability: Our 40+ years of family experience allows us to provide expert advice on the durability of chosen materials, ensuring your beautiful design choices are also robust enough for the Lower North Shore climate and usage.

The Lower North Shore homeowner understands that the look of a bathroom is only as good as the materials used and, crucially, the skill of the installer. The use of premium stone, custom joinery, and frameless glass has become the standard in Mosman, Neutral Bay, and Cremorne, and these materials require specialist care.

Our 40+ years of local experience has positioned us as experts in sourcing and installing these delicate, high-value components. We understand that installing a large-format marble slab, for example, is entirely different from installing standard ceramic. It requires a rigid sub-base, specialised adhesives, and a tiler with an eye for matching the natural veins of the stone. Our in-house tradespeople possess this master-level skill.

We also focus heavily on the 'hidden' design elements, such as the exact colour of the grout, the precise placement of shower niches, and the lighting angles that best showcase the textures of the tile. These small details collectively elevate the bathroom from standard renovation to guaranteed luxury.



Our refusal to use subcontractors for this intricate finish work is not just about efficiency (though it secures our On-Time Guarantee); it is about protecting the quality of your aesthetic investment. When an in-house tiler installs your expensive tiles, that work is directly guaranteed by our company's 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee. This confidence in our ability to execute flawless design is what separates us and secures the highest satisfaction among Lower North Shore clients.

Large-format tiles (typically anything over 600mm×600mm) are highly popular in luxury Lower North Shore bathrooms but require precise technical installation to avoid failure.

Substrate Flatness: Large tiles accentuate any imperfection in the subfloor. Australian Standard 3958.1 mandates a maximum deviation of 4mm over a 2m area. Our team uses self-levelling compounds before screeding to achieve a near-perfect flatness, ensuring the tile lies uniformly and prevents 'lippage' (uneven edges).

Adhesive Coverage: With large tiles, 90% adhesive coverage is non-negotiable. Our tilers use a specific back-buttering technique (applying adhesive to both the substrate and the back of the tile) to eliminate air pockets, which can lead to tile cracking or lifting, thus protecting the installation quality covered by our 7-Year Workmanship Guarantee.

Grout Selection: The grout joint should be kept minimal (often 1.5mm to 3mm) to enhance the seamless look. We specify flexible, non-porous epoxy or high-performance cementitious grouts that resist staining and mildew, ensuring the luxury look lasts.



This technical adherence to installation best practices is essential for securing the beauty and structural integrity of your finished bathroom.
