Elect Tiling & Waterproofing is a floor and wall tiler based in Cranbourne East, tiling bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, staircases and outdoor areas for homes and businesses across South East Melbourne.
Every job gets the same standard: tiles laid with clean, even spacing and a precise finish, and the area left clean when the job is done.
Large-format tiles, herringbone layouts, mosaics, splashbacks and feature walls are set out with care, so the finished lines run straight from one wall to the next.
The layout changes how a room reads. These are the ones that show up most in Elect’s work.
Tiles set in straight, unbroken lines. Run vertically, it gives walls a clean, modern rhythm.
Rectangles laid at right angles in a zigzag, in mosaic for a shower or long planks across a floor.
Big tiles such as 1200×600 mean fewer grout lines, and need careful setting out.
Small tiles on a sheet, suited to shower floors, niches and feature walls.
Five steps, in order, on every floor and wall we tile.
Lines are planned before anything is stuck down, so cuts land at the edges and the pattern runs straight from wall to wall.
Floors are checked and shower bases screeded to fall towards the waste.
Wet areas are waterproofed properly before any tile goes down.
Tiles go down straight, with clean, even spacing and level edges.
Grouted, sealed, and the area left clean.
A quick guide to the four layouts above. Every room is different, so we’ll talk it through when we quote.
| Layout | Best for | The look | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stack bond | Walls, splashbacks, laundries, powder rooms | Clean, straight modern lines | Every joint lines up, so it needs flat walls and careful setting out |
| Herringbone | Hallways, living areas, shower walls in mosaic | Movement and texture | More cuts than a straight lay, so it takes longer |
| Large format | Open-plan floors, bathrooms, feature walls | Calm, with few grout lines | Needs a flat base so the tiles sit level and lined up |
| Mosaic | Shower floors, niches, feature walls | A fine, detailed pattern | More grout lines to keep clean and sealed |

Floor tiling, wall tiling, feature walls, niches, splashbacks, staircases, outdoor areas and stone work, plus the work around the tiles: screeding, floor levelling, tile demolition, tile replacement, and grouting and grout sealing. We are a family business with over 15 years in business, working across South East Melbourne.
Yes. Large-format tiles such as 1200×600 are a regular job, including the bathroom one client described in their Google review. Big tiles need a flat base and careful setting out to sit level and lined up, so the base is checked before anything is laid.
Yes. Herringbone is laid in mosaic for showers and in long planks across floors and hallways. It takes more cuts than a straight lay, so it takes longer, but it adds movement that a straight lay can’t.
Either works. On one job reviewed on Google, Elect chose the design and supplied all the materials and tiles. If you’ve already picked your tiles, we’ll lay those. Tell us which suits you when you ask for a quote.
Yes. Tile demolition, screeding and floor levelling are part of the job, so old tiles come up, the base is made flat and sound, and the new tiles go down on a surface that is ready for them. One team doing all of it means nothing falls between trades.
Yes. Tile replacement is part of what we do, indoors and out. Replacement tiles need to sit flush and match what’s already there, so the area reads as one surface again. Keeping a few spare tiles from the original job makes this easier.
