Nepean's range of mature neighbourhoods means older bathrooms with dated tile are common – we know how to work around that.
Older installs sometimes lack proper membrane waterproofing behind the tile – we rebuild wet areas correctly during a retile.
Failing grout lines and worn caulk are addressed as part of any renovation, not left behind.
Nepean was its own city before joining Ottawa in the 2001 amalgamation, and it has a wide range of mature neighbourhoods with housing stock that’s decades old in many cases. Most of our Nepean projects are renovations – tearing out original tile in a bathroom that’s never been updated, correcting waterproofing that wasn’t built to today’s standard, and installing new tile with proper backer board and membrane underneath.
Nepean was its own city before amalgamating into Ottawa in 2001, and it retains a wide range of mature, established neighbourhoods.
Houses here span several decades of construction, and a lot of bathrooms and kitchens are still running original tile, original grout lines, and, in some cases, waterproofing methods that predate current membrane systems.
We specialize in retiling older bathrooms and kitchens throughout Nepean: removing failing tile down to the substrate, correcting any waterproofing gaps with proper membrane and a rebuilt shower pan where needed, and installing new tile with sanded or unsanded grout depending on the joint width.
We also handle smaller repair jobs, a cracked tile, a section of failed grout, or worn caulk, without requiring a full tear-out when the rest of the installation is sound.
Working in a mature neighbourhood means dealing with subfloor conditions, old plumbing rough-ins, and wall assemblies that don't always match what you'd find in a newer build.
We assess each Nepean project on its own condition rather than assuming a standard layout, and every job starts with a clear, written quote so you know the scope before we begin.

Call (343) 314-4353 or send us details about the bathroom or kitchen tile you'd like retiled or repaired in Nepean.
We look at the condition of the existing tile, grout, and waterproofing behind it, then provide a clear written quote for the scope required.
Where waterproofing has aged out, we correct it with proper membrane and a rebuilt shower pan before installing new tile; smaller issues may only need a targeted repair.
We review the finished work with you and go over grout and sealant maintenance.
Tiles Experts provides professional tile installation, repair, and waterproofing to homeowners and businesses across Nepean, Ontario.
Yes. Nepean has a lot of mature, established housing, so the majority of our projects here are bathroom and kitchen renovations rather than new-build finishing work.
Not a problem, but older installs sometimes lack proper waterproofing behind the tile. We check for this during a retile and rebuild the wet area correctly with membrane waterproofing if needed.
Cosmetic, like-for-like retiling doesn't require a permit as long as plumbing, electrical, and walls aren't moved. If we find the layout needs to change, a permit would be needed for that part.
We'll try to find a close match, though older tile lines are often discontinued – a full section replacement usually gives the most consistent result.
