Flat before it is tiled
Large formats magnify every dip in a slab or wall. Where a surface needs levelling, patching or a screed, that happens first rather than being chased with adhesive.
About the company
Perth Modular Tiling Pty Ltd is an Australian registered company tiling wet areas, floors and fitouts across metropolitan Perth from a base in the northern suburbs.
What the name means
A tiled surface is rarely one continuous thing. It is a shower recess, a floor field, a splashback run, a hob, a niche, a step. We treat each of those as a module: measure it, set it out on its own centre line, and decide where the cuts fall before anything is fixed.
The advantage shows up twice. On a single home, the joints line through from the floor into the shower and across the splashback instead of drifting a few millimetres per room. On repeat work — a modular or transportable build, a group of identical units, a staged renovation — the same module can be reproduced exactly, so the tenth bathroom matches the first.
It also makes quoting honest. When a job is broken into modules, you can see what each part of the space costs instead of receiving one figure for “the tiling”.
Registered particulars
How we operate
None of these are unusual in the trade. They are simply the things that get dropped first when a job runs late.
Large formats magnify every dip in a slab or wall. Where a surface needs levelling, patching or a screed, that happens first rather than being chased with adhesive.
Membrane goes on prepared, primed surfaces and is given its cure time before fixing starts. Wet areas are the one place where saved time is paid back with interest.
Rooms are set out against each other, not in isolation, so joints line through doorways and the floor grid relates to the walls it meets.
You are told when we start, roughly how long each stage takes, and when the space is walkable again — and the area is cleaned down before we leave it.
Who we work for
The work splits fairly evenly between one-off renovations and repeat contract work, and each is quoted and scheduled differently.
Bathroom, ensuite, laundry and kitchen work in occupied homes. We quote per module, agree a start date, and stage the work so the household knows which rooms are out of action and for how long.
New residential, modular and transportable builds and multi-unit fitouts. We work to the site program, take handover from the preceding trade, and hold one set-out across repeated unit types.
Coverage
Based in Perth's northern suburbs, working across the Perth metropolitan area. If you are outside it, ask — we will tell you honestly whether the travel makes sense for the size of the job.
Room dimensions, the tile you are considering, or a photo of what is there now — any of those is enough to start a quote.
