Trusted Tiling Specialists in Howick
Howick is one of East Auckland's most established and characterful communities, centred on its historic village overlooking the Hauraki Gulf. The suburb is dominated by mature family homes, many built from the 1960s through to the 1990s, and that established housing stock is the heartbeat of our work here. Bathrooms and kitchens from that era are now well overdue for modernisation, and Howick homeowners are investing heavily in renovations that bring their homes up to today's standards.
The most common project we take on in Howick is the full bathroom renovation. Original bathrooms with built-in tubs and acrylic shower units are stripped out and replaced with tiled walk-in showers, recessed niches, large-format floor tiles and underfloor heating. Because these are family homes that need to keep functioning, we plan our work carefully to minimise disruption and keep the household moving while the renovation is underway.
Howick's settled, leafy streets also mean we see plenty of repair and remediation work. Showers that have leaked over decades, failing grout and lifting tiles are all common in homes of this age. We investigate the cause, fix the waterproofing properly, and retile so the problem does not come back. It is detailed work that protects what is often a family's biggest asset.
With Nova Tiling based nearby in the east, we know Howick's homes and the way people here like to renovate. Every job includes certified waterproofing and a level, lasting finish. If you are planning a bathroom or any tiling project in Howick, we are happy to provide a free, no-obligation quote.
