RESIDENTIAL TILING SERVICES
Residential tile installation in Auckland
Cutting Edge Tiling is a residential tile installation company based in Silverdale, serving Auckland homeowners since 2013. We can also handle tile supply and installation as one team, covering bathrooms, kitchens, floors, and natural stone.
Every job is backed by a 10-year guarantee.
WHY CUTTING EDGE
Expert tile installation, and optional bespoke tile supply
Managing supply and installation together gives clients a better result. Through our partnership with The Tile Room, we can handle both the tile supply and the installation, keeping the selection, ordering, set-out, and install process properly connected. It means fewer gaps between decisions, better communication, and a cleaner finished outcome.
A 10-year guarantee on every job
Most tiling workmanship guarantees in New Zealand run one to two years. Ours runs ten. If something we've installed fails inside that window, we come back and fix it. The guarantee covers workmanship on every bathroom we tile, residential or commercial.
Use Your Own Tiles, or We Can Supply Them
You are welcome to supply your own tiles, or we can arrange supply through The Tile Room. When we manage supply, The Tile Room handles the ordering, delivery, grout colour matching, and supply details, so everything is lined up properly before installation. It gives you flexibility, while also giving us a smoother process when you want the supply handled for you.
PS3-certified waterproofing, in-house
Our team includes Auckland Council PS3 authors and Certified Waterproofers. We waterproof your shower and wet areas ourselves before a single tile goes down, so you're not coordinating a separate trade and we're not waiting on one either.
Natural stone is a specialty, not a surcharge
Marble, granite, limestone, travertine and slate are harder to install than porcelain. The veining doesn't forgive a bad cut and the material doesn't forgive a rushed setting bed. We install natural stone regularly and it's one of the things clients come to us for specifically.
SERVICES
Our Residential Tiling Services
We tile every room in the home, from the wet areas that need certified waterproofing to the floors that take daily traffic. Each job is installed by our own team and finished to the same standard.
Bathroom Tiling
A bathroom needs to look beautiful and stay watertight for years. We tile shower walls, floors, niches, and splashbacks, and we set the falls so water runs where it should. Wet areas are waterproofed and signed off before a single tile goes down. See our bathroom tiling services for the full scope.
Floor Tiling
Tiled floors handle wear better than almost any other surface, and a flat, well-laid floor lasts decades. We prepare and level the substrate first, then lay porcelain, ceramic, or stone to suit the room. We also install underfloor heating beneath the tile where you want warmth underfoot. More on our floor tiling.
Kitchen Tiling
The splashback and floor are the two surfaces people notice in a kitchen. We cut tiles cleanly around power points, taps, and cabinetry, and we keep grout lines straight across long runs. The result is a finish that holds up to cooking, spills, and cleaning for the life of the kitchen.
Natural Stone Tiling
Natural stone is harder to install than porcelain or ceramic, and mistakes show. Each piece varies in size, colour, and thickness, so it takes more reps and a careful eye to get right. It's a finish we specialise in. For feature walls and one-off layouts, see our custom tile design and installation.
OUR PROCESS
Our residential tiling process
Consult and quote
We talk through scope and timeline, visit the site to measure and check the substrate, then send through an itemised quote. Every line is broken out: preparation, waterproofing, tiling, grout, materials, so you can see what you're paying for before you commit.
Tile selection
Provide your own tiles, or visit The Tile Room in Silverdale and choose your tiles with their team. They handle quantities, lead times, pallet placement, delivery dates and grout-colour matching. We receive the order and schedule it against the build.
Waterproofing
Our in-house PS3-certified waterproofers apply the membrane and sign off the wet areas. No second trade to coordinate. No gap between the waterproofer and the tile setter.
Installation
The lead tiler sets out the room, confirms the pattern and coursing with you, then installs the tile. We work across natural stone, rectified, large-format and mosaic, and keep the site clean throughout.
Handover
Final grout, silicone, clean-down, walkthrough and sign-off. The 10-year workmanship guarantee is activated on handover.
MATERIALS
Bathroom Tile Materials We Install
Natural stone
Marble, granite, limestone, travertine and slate. A specialty of ours, often used on feature walls, vanity splashbacks and full-floor installations where the stone is the centrepiece of the room.
Porcelain
Dense, low-absorption, suitable for walls, floors and showers. Large-format porcelain (600×1200mm and up) minimises grout lines in small bathrooms. Sits under most of our Auckland bathroom installs.
Mosaic
Glass, stone and porcelain mosaics on mesh sheets. Used on shower floors (the extra grout lines add grip), feature walls and splashback strips.
Custom tile
Do you have an idea in mind and want a flexible tiler for bathrooms? Cutting Edge Tiling works with The Tile Room to create custom solutions tailored to your space.
RECENT WORK
Recent Residential Projects
Here's a selection of recent residential work across Auckland - bathrooms, kitchens, floors, and natural stone.
Bell Road, Remuera
Full tiling of four bathrooms in a new build using 600×1200 large-format throughout. Each space was set out around custom cabinetry, with grout lines and coursing carried consistently from one bathroom to the next.
NATURAL STONE + PORCELAIN
School Road, Riverhead
Full-height tiling throughout, with a feature tile behind the vanity and a tiled stone ledge for everyday use. High sloping ceilings open the room up; tiling from floor to ceiling keeps the finish consistent and low-maintenance.
PORCELAIN
Monyash Road, Manly
Three bathrooms tiled in 600×600 Travertine Vein throughout, with subtle layout shifts between rooms to keep each space distinct. The ensuite carries a vertically laid textured subway feature wall.
PORCELAIN
King Edward Parade
Two bathrooms across two floors. Ground floor combines 600×600 floor tiles with Dots Multi White wall tiles and a vertically stacked subway above. Upstairs runs full-height large-format on selected walls, with vertical subway in the shower.

Amazing service from this company. Ilze in the Tile Room is brilliant and can really guide you with what works best when choosing tiles. Ethan is excellent managing the tiling side and our tiler, Peter, was absolutely fastidious in his work. He has tiled our bathroom and laundry and has done a wonderful job.
We had a fantastic experience with Cutting Edge Tiling. Ethan and team made our house renovation so easy. They installed a fully tiled main bathroom, tiled floors in the guest toilet, ensuite and laundry. Great communication from day one. Ze our tiler was a real master craftsman. His work was perfect. Highly recommend them ! Cheers Ethan....
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The answers builders, designers and homeowners ask us most often before a job starts.
-
Yes, we can - you can also choose to supply your own tiles through another showroom if preferred.
We supply and install through our partnership with The Tile Room, so one team handles tile selection, ordering, quantities, lead times, and delivery. We also match grout colours to your tile. You don't need to coordinate between a separate showroom and a tiler.
-
Yes. Every job is backed by a 10-year guarantee. We've been tiling Auckland homes since 2013.
-
We're based in Silverdale and cover Whangaparaoa, the Hibiscus Coast, and the North Shore as our core area. We also work throughout North Auckland, Warkworth, and up the coast to Mangawhai, Omaha, and Point Wells.
-
Yes, and it's a specialism. Natural stone is harder to install than porcelain or ceramic because sizes, thickness, and colour vary from piece to piece, and the material marks easily. It takes more skill and care to get right, which is why we're often called in for it.
-
Yes. We're certified waterproofers and an Auckland Council approved PS3 author, which means we issue the producer statement that certifies the waterproofing ourselves. A PS3 is the council documentation that confirms a wet area was waterproofed correctly. You don't need to bring in a separate certifier.
-
Yes. We tile bathroom and kitchen renovations, whole-home projects, and new builds across Auckland. Our team of 15 covers both residential and commercial work.
