Showers, wet rooms and family bathrooms tiled the way Bali's humidity demands: membrane under the whole wet zone, walls and floors set straight, the fall to the drain checked with a level before the grout goes in. Labour from IDR 150,000/m² for walls and IDR 170,000/m² for floors, free site visit and a fixed quote first.
Every bathroom tiling job we take in Bali starts under the tile, not on it. A wet room without a sealed membrane feeds moisture into the slab from the first month of showers; the adhesive bond decays quietly and tiles begin letting go within a year. So our sequence never changes: seal the wet zone, set walls and floors, slope the floor so water actually reaches the drain, grout cleanly, and finish every junction with silicone instead of rigid grout.
We come to the property, check the slab, the existing falls and any leak marks on the ceiling below, measure and put the total in writing before any work starts. The visit costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We work in Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta and Legian, Denpasar, Sanur, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu and Ubud at the same rates, with no travel surcharge.
Before a single tile goes down, we apply a proper waterproofing membrane across the floor, up the walls in the shower zone and into every corner and pipe penetration. In Bali's humidity this is the step that decides whether the bathroom lasts ten years or starts leaking into the room below within twelve months. Most failed Bali bathrooms we're called to repair simply skipped it.
We level the substrate and form the correct fall toward the drain — a gentle, consistent slope so water never pools. Get this wrong and you have standing water, staining and a slip hazard. We check the fall with a level before tiling, not after.
Walls and floors are laid with the correct adhesive and full coverage — no dot-and-dab that leaves hollow tiles. We plan the layout from the centre and the key sightlines so cut tiles land in discreet places, not as thin slivers beside the door.
Clean, even grout lines, then flexible silicone in every internal corner and at the floor-to-wall junction where rigid grout would crack. We finish the wet area so it reads tidy and performs properly.
The bathrooms we're called to fix in Bali almost always failed for one of a few reasons: no waterproofing membrane, a floor that slopes the wrong way or not at all, hollow tiles from poor adhesive coverage, or rigid grout used in corners that should have been siliconed. We address every one of these on a new install — and diagnose which one caused the problem before any repair.
| Work | Labour (IDR/m²) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom wall tiling | from 150,000 | Membrane applied in the shower zone |
| Bathroom floor tiling | from 170,000 | Drain fall and membrane |
| Natural stone in wet areas | from 210,000 | Honed finish, sealed |
| Regrouting a bathroom | from 140,000 | Rake out old grout, regrout |
Labour prices per m²; tiles, adhesive, grout and membrane materials are quoted separately. Epoxy grout for showers is available and priced with the job. A leaking bathroom is quoted after we have traced the leak — sometimes a regrout is enough, more often the wet area has to be stripped and re-membraned. Why the membrane matters is explained in what tilers check before tiling; all rates are on the tiling price list.
We also handle floor tiling, tile repair and regrouting, natural stone installation and pool tiling. All across Bali, same rates, no travel surcharge.
