Websites built for tilers.

Someone searching for a tiler is usually planning a bathroom or kitchen job weeks ahead, and deciding largely on how straight and even past work looks in photos. Your website’s job is to show that fast. We build it first, from what is already public about you, and then give it to you. It costs nothing to have and nothing to keep.


What people are actually searching for

“Tiler [town] quote”, “bathroom tiling near me”: this is almost always scheduled well ahead of the job, so people have time to compare a few companies on photos before they call any of them.

That changes what the website is for. It is there so the first thing someone sees is a clean, well-lit photo of a finished bathroom or kitchen — straight lines, even grout — because that is the only evidence a stranger has to judge the standard of work.

The trust signal most tiler websites leave out

Tiling itself is not a licensed trade, but the waterproofing membrane underneath tiles in a wet area — a shower, a wet room — has to meet Building Code clause E3 and its acceptable solution, E3/AS1. Saying plainly that your wet-area work meets that standard is a real, specific claim, not a marketing word.

Most people hiring a tiler have no way to check waterproofing once the tiles are down and the job looks finished. Being upfront about how you handle it, before it is hidden under tile, is one of the clearest ways to earn trust.

What it costs

Nothing. We build the page from what is already public about your business and send you the link. If you want it, we put it live and you pay us nothing for it. There is no card, no trial, and no fee that starts later. It sits at an address of ours, not your own domain name, and it carries one line at the bottom saying we built it.

It asks one thing of you. Once a year we send one message asking whether the details are still right, and two reminders over the month after it. If we cannot reach you, the page comes down — a page with your name and a wrong phone number on it is worse for you than no page at all. It also comes down when you ask, for any reason or none, within five New Zealand working days at the latest, and we will not ask you why.

The only thing you can pay for is changes made for you. You message us a new price, new hours, a holiday closure or a photo of the new van, and we make the change, within five New Zealand working days at the latest. That is NZ$299 for the year, and it includes your own domain name registered in your business name and email on it. No monthly fee, no minimum term, and it does not renew itself. No GST is added. The full terms are here.

If somebody else would suit you better — and for plenty of tilers they would — we have listed every option we could find, with the price each company publishes on its own site: who should build your website.

Built from what is already public

We build the first version of your page from your Google Business Profile, your Facebook page, and anything else already public about your business, then send you the link. You look at it before anything happens. If you do not want it we take it down, you owe nothing, and we will not contact you about it again.

If you have not claimed your Google Business Profile yet, It matters even more for a tiler than for many trades, because a wet-area waterproofing fault is invisible until it fails, sometimes years later, and mentioning compliance up front is the only way to reassure someone about work they will never be able to inspect. The walkthrough is here: how to claim your Google Business Profile in New Zealand.

Being straight with you: we build and host the website, not your Google Business Profile, because that needs a verified New Zealand address and we are not in New Zealand. The walkthrough above covers the whole process yourself; it takes about twenty minutes and it is free.


Common questions

Should my tiling website mention waterproofing compliance?

Yes, especially for wet areas. The waterproofing membrane under bathroom or wet-room tiles has to meet Building Code clause E3 and its acceptable solution, E3/AS1. Saying your work meets that standard is a specific, checkable claim, not a marketing word.

What should a tiler’s website actually say?

Your trade, the towns you cover, a phone number that gets answered, and clean, well-lit photos of finished bathrooms and kitchens. Straight lines in a photo do more work than a paragraph about your company history.

Does this work for waterproofing too?

Yes. Tiling and wet-area waterproofing sit close enough together in how people search and hire that the same page structure works for both.

I already have a Facebook page. Do I need a website as well?

For a lot of trades, a Facebook page covers most of what people need day to day. What it does not do well is show up when someone searches your trade and town on Google rather than on Facebook, and it can look less permanent to someone checking you out before they call. We wrote the comparison up properly here: Facebook page or website, for a New Zealand trade business. If you are not showing up in a search at all — not even for your own business name — here is why, in the order it usually happens.

How fast can I see mine?

Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one, and if we can, we email you the link to look at. There is nothing to pay at any point for the page itself.

Not a tiler? See the same approach for plumbers, electricians, builders, roofers, landscapers, auto electricians, painters, plasterers, scaffolders, fencing contractors, gardeners and lawn care businesses, handyman businesses, concreters, gutter cleaning businesses, pest control businesses, locksmiths and glaziers.

Based in a main centre? See the same approach for businesses in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Hamilton, or see every trade and city.

Ask us to build yours.

Send us your business name and the town. We will tell you honestly whether we can build one — this is one person, so we cannot build for everyone who asks. Either way there is nothing to pay.
