At BShomereno, we provide professional tile overlay services in Singapore — a faster, cleaner, and more
cost-effective solution compared to hacking and retiling.
If you’re thinking about upgrading your bathroom, kitchen, or living space, you might wonder: Should I hack and replace my old tiles, or simply overlay new tiles on top?
Here’s why tile overlay is often the smarter choice in Singapore:
Traditional retiling involves hacking, demolition, and debris removal — a noisy and messy process that can take weeks. With tile overlay, there’s no hacking. New tiles are laid directly over the existing ones, saving time and reducing disruption to your home.
Hacking and disposing of old tiles add significant costs to a renovation project. Tile overlay eliminates these expenses, making it a budget-friendly option without compromising on style or quality
Many homeowners worry that overlay tiles may not last. With proper installation and waterproofing, tile overlays are just as durable as traditional tiling and can last for many years without issues.
Overlay allows you to instantly upgrade outdated tiles with modern designs, patterns, and finishes — whether you want a sleek bathroom, a functional kitchen, or a cozy living room.
Skilled in overlay techniques to ensure strong adhesion and durability.
We provide proper waterproofing to prevent leaks in wet areas.
Clear cost breakdown with no hidden fees.
We begin with a thorough check of your existing tiles. Our team ensures they are in good condition and suitable for overlay. Any hollow, loose, or damaged tiles will be repaired or replaced before we proceed.
The surface is cleaned and treated to remove dirt, grease, and soap scum. We also apply bonding agents to ensure the new tiles adhere securely to the old surface.
New tiles are carefully laid on top of the existing tiles with precision. Our tilers ensure correct alignment, spacing, and leveling to achieve a seamless finish.
Once the tiles are installed, we carry out grouting and waterproofing to protect your surfaces from leaks and water damage. Finally, we clean up the area, leaving your space ready to use.
