Bathroom Tiles
Cleaning your bathroom tiles regularly keeps them looking good and performing their best.
Start by either mixing up a cleaning solution with half vinegar and half water or getting a purpose-made tile cleaning product. Apply the cleaning solution to a soft cloth, sponge or non-abrasive brush and scrub the tiles, paying extra attention to grimy areas. Don’t forget to clean the grout! Using a soft brush or toothbrush, carefully scrub it until stains start to fade.
Steer clear of abrasive cleaning tools like steel wool or harsh scrubbing pads that damage your grout and tiles.
Cost depends on your bathroom's size, the tile material you choose, and labour in your area. As a rough guide, expect tile costs from around $50–$150+ per square metre depending on material and finish, plus installation. A small ensuite will cost less overall than a full family bathroom.

Yes, if you’re working with a small bathroom, larger tiles with fewer grout lines can make the space feel bigger and more open. You could also use the same tiles on your walls and floors for a clean, minimal look. The trade-off is that large tiles need a flatter substrate to sit properly, so they're worth discussing with your tiler before you commit.
Bathroom floor and wall tiles are built to withstand different things. Floor tiles are thicker, made of porcelain, more moisture-resistant and designed to handle heavy foot traffic. They’re more often available in textured or matte finishes for greater slip resistance.
Wall tiles are generally thinner, lighter and a ceramic material. They come in a wider range of patterns, finishes and size options for design flexibility. Not every tile is rated for both.
Choosing the right tiles is important so they can support everyday use without early wear and tear.
Yes, it is possible to use the same tiles on both bathroom walls and floors. However, as we outlined above, there are some differences in durability, finish and slip resistance that you need to consider during your decision-making process.
As long as your floor tiles are up to the task, there's no harm in using them on the walls as well. Just be aware that wall tiles are not suitable to use on your bathroom floor and can leave you vulnerable to slips, falls and issues with water resistance.
