Where We Install

Tile, in every part of the bathroom that takes it.

We tile bathrooms top to bottom: floors, walls, shower, niches, benches, kerbs, and detail work. Each surface has different rules, and we install each one to the standard it needs.

Tiled shower walls with large-format Natural Gold porcelain

Shower Walls

Full-height tile over Schluter Kerdi waterproofing. Large-format porcelain, marble, or mosaic, with bonded inside corners and proper movement joints.

Schluter linear drain installed in tiled shower floor

Shower Floors

Pre-sloped Kerdi tray with a linear or center drain. Mosaic, hexagon, or large-format with tile-in drain covers, all engineered to move water cleanly.

Bathroom Floors

Schluter Ditra decoupling membrane over a flat, clean subfloor. Heated floor cable can be added underneath for a warm-floor finish.

Custom shower niche with porcelain and glass mosaic combination

Niches & Details

Recessed niches, benches, kerbs, and accent bands. Mitred outside corners on porcelain, bullnose where it suits the style, mosaic accents for character.

Tile Formats We Work With

From mosaic to slab, the format changes the install.

Each tile size has its own substrate, thinset, and technique. Putting a 24 by 48 down the same way as a 4 by 4 is how installs fail.

Mosaic & Small Format

Mosaic and small-format tile.

Penny rounds, hex, fish-scale, and 2-inch squares. Used on shower floors for slip resistance and on accent walls for character. Sheet-mounted installs need careful seam alignment so the grid does not telegraph through.

Standard Format

Standard rectangular tile, set in pattern.

12 by 24 and 4 by 12 subway are the workhorses. Brick offset (one-third lap, not 50 percent on long planks), straight set, herringbone, or vertical stack. We follow tile manufacturer offset rules so the tile does not lippage out.

Large Format

Large-format porcelain, 24 by 48 and bigger.

The look most homeowners want now. Fewer grout lines, cleaner reads, modern feel. The substrate has to be flat to a tighter tolerance, the thinset has to be back-buttered, and the tile has to be set into a levelling system to control lippage.

Slab & Book-Match

Porcelain slab and book-matched panels.

Slab tile up to 5 by 10 feet, often used with veining book-matched across panels for a continuous marble look without the maintenance. Specialized handling, suction-cup transport, and slab-cutting equipment required.

Materials We Install

Every common bathroom tile material, installed to its own rules.

Material decides everything that happens after the tile arrives on site, the thinset colour, the sealing, the grout, the saw blade. We install all four major categories in-house.

01

Porcelain

Hardest, lowest absorption, broadest format range. The default for floors, showers, and large-format walls. We work with Italian, Spanish, and Turkish porcelain from Toronto-area suppliers.

02

Ceramic

Lighter, easier to cut, well-suited to wall installations. Most subway tile is ceramic. We use ceramic where the cost-to-look ratio works in your favour and porcelain is overkill.

03

Natural Stone

Marble, limestone, travertine, slate. White thinset, sealed substrate, sealed tile before grouting on porous stones. The character and patina you cannot get from porcelain.

04

Glass & Mosaic

Glass mosaic for accent bands, niches, and feature walls. Translucent glass shows the thinset behind it, so substrate prep and the right adhesive matter. We use white non-staining thinset on every glass install.

What's Under the Tile

The substrate is the install. Everything else is finish.

Tile cracks because the floor moves. Grout fails because the wall got wet. Both are substrate problems, not tile problems. We build the substrate first, every time.

Schluter Kerdi waterproofing membrane installed on a shower wall before tile
  • Schluter Ditra on bathroom floors. Decoupling membrane that lets the subfloor move without cracking the tile above it. Standard on every bathroom floor we tile.
  • Schluter Kerdi in showers. Sealed membrane behind the tile and a pre-sloped Kerdi tray on the floor. Water that gets through grout has nowhere to go.
  • Cement board where it belongs. Outside the wet zone, we use cement board or moisture-resistant drywall depending on the application. We do not put tile over standard drywall in any wet area.
  • Levelled and prepped before tile lands. Self-levelling underlayment on out-of-plane floors, primed substrates on walls. The first tile goes down on a substrate that is already flat to spec.
  • Movement joints where the spec calls for them. Inside corners, transitions to other materials, large open floors, every place the TCNA handbook calls for one. Silicone, not grout.
What We Fix Before It Happens

The five tile failures we see most often, and how we prevent them.

Most of our renovation calls start with a tile install someone else did wrong. Here is what fails, and what we do differently on day one.

Failure 01

Hollow tiles, debonding

Caused by partial thinset coverage, dry-set on a porous substrate, or skipping the back-butter on large format. Sounds hollow, lifts within a year.

How we prevent it

Back-buttered large format, full notched coverage, thinset matched to tile size and substrate.

Failure 02

Lippage on large format

Edges that sit higher than the tile next to them. Trips on floors, looks bad on walls, impossible to fix after the thinset cures.

How we prevent it

Levelling clip system on every large-format job, dead-flat substrate, manufacturer-spec offset patterns.

Failure 03

Grout cracking and water damage

Grout used in inside corners and silicone joints, no waterproofing membrane behind shower tile, drywall in wet areas.

How we prevent it

Schluter Kerdi behind every shower wall, silicone in every plane change, no drywall in wet zones.

Failure 04

Cracked floor tile

Subfloor flexes, tile cannot. Without a decoupling layer, every floor movement is transferred straight into the tile.

How we prevent it

Schluter Ditra on every bathroom floor we tile, full bond to a flat clean subfloor.

Failure 05

Stained or discoloured stone

Grey thinset bleeding through translucent stone or glass. Tile sealed too late, stained by grout pigment.

How we prevent it

White non-staining thinset on stone and glass, tile sealed before grouting on porous stones.

Failure 06

Bad transitions and corners

Mismatched profiles, raw porcelain edges, rough corners where two materials meet. Looks rushed, often sharp.

How we prevent it

Schluter profiles on edges, mitred outside corners on porcelain, bullnose where the tile line allows it.

Mississauga Service Area

We tile across Mississauga from our Etobicoke shop.

Our crew is based at 254 The Queensway in Etobicoke, which puts most of Mississauga inside a 25-minute drive. That matters because tile work is detail work, and detail work needs daily on-site attention, not a contractor showing up twice a week.

If your home is in Mississauga, we serve you directly. Common neighbourhoods we work in:

Lorne Park Mineola Port Credit Clarkson Erin Mills Central Erin Mills Streetsville Cooksville Meadowvale Lisgar Churchill Meadows Credit Woodlands

How a Tile Project Runs

From tile selection to final grout, in six steps.

A bathroom-floor retile takes 3 to 5 working days. A shower retile runs about a week. A full bathroom tile install lands in the 8 to 12 working day range.

Step 01

In-Home Consult

We measure the area, look at the existing substrate, and walk through the tile look you want.

Step 02

Tile Selection

Visit a Toronto-area showroom with us or send us inspiration shots. We match to format, finish, and budget.

Step 03

Demo & Substrate

Old tile and substrate out, framing checked, subfloor flattened, Ditra or Kerdi installed depending on the surface.

Step 04

Tile Install

Layout dry-fit first to land cuts in the right places, then full thinset coverage, levelling clips on large format, mitred corners.

Step 05

Grout & Seal

Grout cured 24 to 48 hours after install. Silicone in every plane change. Stone and porous tile sealed before and after grouting.

Step 06

Walkthrough

We walk the finished install with you, answer maintenance questions, and leave a small batch of spare tile from the same lot.

What Tile Installation Costs

Fixed pricing, ranges by scope.

Every tile project we run is quoted as a single fixed price before work begins. These ranges cover the great majority of Mississauga jobs we handle, with size of the area, format, and material being the biggest swing factors.

Scope
Price Range
Typical Includes
Floor Retile
$3,000 to $5,500
Demo of existing floor tile, substrate flattening, Schluter Ditra, porcelain or ceramic floor tile install, grout, silicone, baseboard reset.
Shower Retile
$5,500 to $9,500
Demo, framing check, Schluter Kerdi waterproofing, pre-sloped Kerdi tray, wall and floor tile install, niche, linear or center drain, grout and silicone.
Full Bathroom Tile

Ranges assume tile installation inside an existing bathroom footprint. If your project is part of a full bathroom renovation with new fixtures and plumbing, the tile work is priced as a line item inside the larger fixed-price quote. Numbers above are starting points for Mississauga homes, not promises, your specific quote depends on what we measure on site.

Frequently Asked

Tile installation questions, answered.

How much does bathroom tile installation cost in Mississauga?

Bathroom tile installation in Mississauga typically ranges from $3,000 for a floor-only retile up to $14,000+ for full bathroom tile with premium materials, large-format porcelain, and natural stone. Every project is quoted as a single fixed price before work begins.

How long does bathroom tile installation take?

A floor-only retile typically takes 3 to 5 working days. A shower tile install runs about a week. A full bathroom tile installation, with substrate prep, waterproofing, install, and grout, lands in the 8 to 12 working day range. Tile drying time is the main schedule driver.

Can you install large-format tile (24 by 48 and bigger)?

Yes. Large-format porcelain (24 by 48, 30 by 60, and slab tiles) is one of our specialties. The substrate has to be perfectly flat, the thinset has to be back-buttered, and lippage has to be controlled with a levelling system. We do all of this as standard practice on large-format jobs.

What goes under the tile?

On bathroom floors, we install Schluter Ditra as a decoupling and waterproofing layer over the subfloor. In showers, we use Schluter Kerdi membrane on the walls and a pre-sloped Kerdi tray on the floor. On standard wall areas outside the wet zone, we use cement board or moisture-resistant drywall depending on the application.

Can you match grout and tile from a previous install?

If the original tile is a current product, yes, we can source it. If the tile has been discontinued, we will tell you straight and walk through close-match options. Grout colour matching is more forgiving and we can typically blend a new section into existing tile cleanly if the grout is recent.

Do you do natural stone, or just porcelain and ceramic?

We install marble, limestone, travertine, and porcelain slab. Natural stone has its own rules: sealed substrate, white thinset to avoid bleed-through, sealing the tile before grouting on porous stones. We handle all of this in-house.

Which Mississauga neighbourhoods do you serve?

We work across Mississauga, including Lorne Park, Mineola, Port Credit, Clarkson, Erin Mills, Central Erin Mills, Streetsville, Cooksville, Meadowvale, Lisgar, Churchill Meadows, and the Credit Woodlands. Our shop is at 254 The Queensway in Etobicoke, a short drive across the border.

Can I see examples of your tile work?

Yes. Our project gallery shows finished bathrooms across Mississauga, Toronto, and Etobicoke, with tile work in a range of formats and materials. Visit bathroomrenos.ca/bathroom-renos-gallery/ for the full set.
