If you place an order that contains a pre-order item, the entire order will dispatch once all items are in stock. Please bear this in mind when ordering multiple items as everything will be held back until the pre-order item is ready to be shipped.

Ordering & Payment
How do I know if a product is in stock?
Our website is regularly updated to reflect the latest product range and availability. If a product is out of stock, you will see a note in red font on the relevant product page indicating that the product is available only for pre-order and providing an estimated timeframe for availability.
If you're placing a large order, then please get in touch with our sales team at sales@tilecloud.com.au so we can ensure there's enough stock available for your order.
What methods can I pay on?
We accept Mastercard, PayPal, Visa, Amex Diners Club, Afterpay, Zip and Humm.
We operate online, so unfortunately we cannot accept cash. We do also accept payments over the phone and via bank transfer if required, contact us on (02) 9557 6785.
Quotes & placing an order
Our team are here to help with quoting for your project. If you need any help, reach out to us at sales@tilecloud.com.au
We encourage you to double check all details in your quote or in your cart prior to placing your order as any changes made after the order has been confirmed will incur associated amendment fees and/or a 25% restocking fee.
What happens once I place my order?
TileCloud has a real-time ordering system that starts processing orders as soon as they are confirmed. You will receive an order confirmation email right after your order is placed, followed by a shipping confirmation email once the order has left our warehouse.
Please choose carefully, as refunds cannot be given if you change your mind. To assist customers in selecting a product they love, we encourage first purchasing samples as this will allow you to see the colour, texture, print and finish prior to purchase.
What if I realise I haven't ordered enough tiles?
Not to worry! Get in touch with us as soon as you realise and we will do our best to ensure we can provide you with stock from the same batch!*
We usually suggest ordering 15% wastage to ensure you have enough and to avoid any risk of not being able to get additional stock from the same batch.
Tip: make sure you take a photo or note down the details on the box your tiles come in as this is where the batch number is listed and is what we use for batch matching. If you don't tell us the batch number, we're not able to look into the possibility of batch matching.
*While we will do our best to provide you with stock from the same batch, we can't make any promises.
Can I amend or return my order after it's been placed?
Once your order is confirmed, our real-time system starts processing it immediately. You can make changes to your order within 12 hours of placing it. After that, we're unable to modify the order as it will already be in the packing process.No need to worry! For tiles, we accept returns within 30 days of delivery for a refund, with only a 25% restocking fee. Tapware returns are accepted within 100 days of delivery for a refund, excluding shipping fees.Just make sure your items are returned in their original packaging, undamaged, and in saleable condition. Please note that products that have been installed or used aren't eligible for return.

I've purchased more than one sample pack, can I redeem the cost of them all?

Your tiles will arrive securely strapped, carefully wrapped to protect them from the elements and delivered to your kerbside using a tail-lift truck or via forklift. Depending on the delivery provider, as a courtesy, some drivers may attempt to call you 1 hour prior to delivering.
Whilst we do advise that it's best for someone to be onsite to coordinate the delivery, it's not essential. If you are not home, the driver has an authority to leave and will deliver the goods to a safe location kerbside. Please understand that due to occupational health & safety insurance considerations, the driver is prohibited from moving the goods past this point.

Whether your project starts in a few weeks or a few months, we strongly encourage you to check your order within two (2) business days of receiving them. This is to ensure you have received the correct items and that they haven't arrived damaged or faulty, and to submit a claim if required.

Important things to note:
Tiles after laying
• We cannot accept any claims for replacement, repair or reimbursement once tiles have been laid, or claims for defect, size, shade variation or any other fault that should have been reasonably obvious before laying.
• It is the responsibility of the tiler under the management of the builder and/or homeowner to check the tiles before laying them.
Tile size
• Our tiles are advertised in their approximate size for simplicity (e.g. 300 x 600). As an industry standard, their actual size can vary by +/- 2mm.
• The actual size may vary from this depending on the specific manufacturer (e.g. 297 x 601).
• Please factor in actual size when figuring out if different tile grout joins or patterns will line up.
• We can’t guarantee a wall tile and floor tile will line up perfectly, despite both tiles showing an approximate size (e.g. 300 x 600) so always measure first.

Design appointments & Design advice
Why book a design consult?
We understand it can be a big decision when choosing your tile and tapware selections for your reno. There’s often a lot to consider and at times, it can get a little overwhelming – we get it! That’s why we have a team of expert designers on hand to help you with your selections and ensure everything is paired to create a cohesive space that you will LOVE.
So that we can ensure our designers are available to dedicate some one on one time with you, we encourage booking an appointment. You can choose to either have this appointment in-store at our Sydney showroom or via a zoom screen share at a time that suits you.
Otherwise, if you’re just in the neighbourhood and want to pop in to our showroom, you’re most welcome to pop in without an appointment and one of our friendly showroom team members will be able to help!
How does a design consult run?
- Pre-consult info: At the time of booking your appointment we ask for some details on your upcoming reno. We'll ask about the timeline, the spaces you're revamping (or building), any vision you have in mind, and your plans for the space. This helps us ensure that your designer is fully equipped and ready to bring your ideas to life.
- Discovery: At the start of the appointment, your designer will clarify the look and feel you’re looking to achieve then will dive into how you can achieve this using our range of tiles and tapware.
- Selections: Your designer will then guide you through each space and help you select the tiles and tapware that will take your renovation to new heights, including the perfect lay patterns and grout pairings.
- Flat lays: To help you best visualise how it will all come together, your designer will prepare some flat lays of the tile & tapware selections you have discussed, incorporating different finishes such as vanity, bench top and paint swatches.
- Samples & Recap: At the end of the appointment, you will take away tile & tapware samples (or we will send them to you if you attended your consult via zoom). Your designer will also send through an email recap of everything that was discussed and will be available for any follow up questions you might have.
- Quoting & Ordering: When you’re ready to lock everything in, you can either book in another time with your designer to finalise everything, request a quote or place your order online

Cleaning & Maintenance
The golden rules
Clean often! This will ensure there's no build up of dirt and grime on your tiles or grout
Don’t use acidic cleaners! Acidic cleaners can be harsh on your tiles making cleaning and maintaining your tiles more difficult in the long run
- Seal your grout! While your porcelain & ceramic tiles dont require sealing, it's a good idea to seal your grout. While it will make your cleaning routine easier, don’t fall into the trap of believing it will eliminate the need for maintenance all together!
Lighter coloured tiles and grout may require more maintenance.
How often should I clean my tiles?
Routine cleaning
Routine cleaning should be done regularly and consist of a regular mop or light scrub with a non-abrasive, white scouring pad and pH neutral cleaner.
We recommend the Aqua Mix Concentrated Stone & Tile Cleaner for your routine cleans!
Heavy-Duty/Periodic
Heavy duty or period cleans should be done after heavy soiling has occurred, or a few times a year to keep your tiles looking fresh.
We recommend the Aqua Mix Heavy-Duty Tile & Grout Cleaner for your Heavy Duty and periodic cleans!
What cleaning product is best for me?
We recommend the Aqua Mix Concentrated Stone & Tile Cleaner for your routine cleans or Aqua Mix Heavy-Duty Tile & Grout Cleaner for your Heavy Duty and periodic cleans!
What do grout sealers actually do and do I need to seal my grout?
Sealing your grout joints will make your grout stain resistant, less porous and easier to clean. We recommend the Aqua Mix® Grout Sealer. To keep your grout looking fresh (particularly lighter coloured grouts), it’s a good idea to seal your grout prior to using any space.
Do I need to seal my tiles?
Porcelain and Ceramic tiles do not require sealing.
We do however recommend sealing your grout with Aqua Mix - Grout Sealer as it is more porous and prone to staining.
What products should I use to clean my tiles?
The best cleaners to use are PH neutral!
Be cautious when using products from the grocery store as products that claim to be "all purpose" may contain harsh chemicals that can damage your tiles and grout.
I need more help!
