Professional Tile Installation for Your Space
Vanreno provides tile installation in Vancouver for floors, walls, showers and kitchens. We assess your space, tile choice and existing surfaces, then plan the preparation, layout and finishing. Careful cuts, grout lines and transitions help the new tile work with nearby fixtures and flooring.
Choose a focused tile project or coordinate it with a bathroom renovation. Explore our flooring options and backsplash installation services. Share your room dimensions, photos and preferred materials so we can review access, preparation needs and the scope of your project before quoting.
Surface Preparation, Waterproofing & Tile Planning
Lasting tile starts with a stable, properly prepared surface. We review flatness, moisture exposure and tile suitability, then plan the layout, setting materials, grout joints and edge details. Large-format tile needs particular attention to surface condition and mortar coverage.
For showers and other wet areas, tile and grout alone are not waterproof. We review the appropriate waterproofing system, including corners, niches and drain connections. Compare materials in our porcelain tile guide, and mention heated floors early so the flooring system and related electrical work can be coordinated.

Tile Installation in Vancouver: FAQs
How much does tile installation in Vancouver cost?
The cost depends on the area, tile material and size, layout, removal work, substrate condition, waterproofing needs and site access. A shower with niches or detailed mosaics has a different scope from an open floor. Vanreno provides a project-specific quote after reviewing the space. Ask for a clear breakdown of labour, tile supply, preparation, finishing materials and any related trade work so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
How long does tile installation take?
Timing varies with the size of the project, demolition, surface repairs, waterproofing, layout and the curing requirements of the chosen products. A small wall project and a complete tiled shower should not be given the same schedule. We discuss the work sequence after assessing the site and explain when the surface can be walked on, cleaned or exposed to water. Condo access restrictions can also affect the schedule.
Can you remove old tiles and prepare the surface?
Yes, removal and preparation can be included in the agreed scope. Once existing finishes are removed, the substrate may reveal damage or unevenness that was not visible beforehand. We discuss how these conditions will be addressed before the new installation continues. Tile should not simply be placed over loose, unsuitable or moisture-damaged material without assessing the underlying problem.
Do you install porcelain, ceramic and large-format tiles?
We work with porcelain, ceramic, mosaics and suitable natural stone, including larger tile formats where the substrate and access allow. Share the tile dimensions, product information and intended room before purchasing. The selection affects cutting, handling, grout spacing, mortar choice and preparation. Natural stone may require different sealing and care, while floor tile needs to be suitable for the intended use and conditions.
Do bathroom and shower tiles need waterproofing?
Wet areas need an appropriate waterproofing plan for their construction and use. Tile and grout are the finish, not a substitute for a complete waterproofing system. Shower corners, niches, penetrations and drain connections need particular attention. We review the existing construction and discuss the preparation and compatible system required for your project before tile setting begins.
Can you install tile in Vancouver condos and strata properties?
Yes. Tell us about your building’s approval process, permitted work hours, elevator reservations, parking and protection requirements when you request a quote. Hard-surface flooring may also need an acoustic assembly approved by the strata. Review the B.C. strata bylaws guidance and confirm your building’s approval and specifications before work starts.
Should I buy the tiles before requesting a quote?
You can contact us before or after selecting tile. If it is already purchased, send the product name, size, quantity and photos of the intended installation area. If you are still choosing, we can discuss how format, finish, availability and layout affect the work. Confirm quantities and any allowance for cuts, breakage and future repairs before ordering; the allowance depends on the layout.
Can tile installation be part of a bathroom or kitchen renovation?
Yes. Vanreno also provides renovation services, so we can discuss tile installation alongside your bathroom or kitchen scope. Plumbing, electrical work, cabinetry, fixtures and other finishes need a coordinated sequence. Tell us which trades and materials are already arranged so the proposal makes each responsibility clear and the tile work is scheduled at the appropriate stage.
