A luxury bathroom renovation where careful tiling turned a refined design into a watertight bathroom that won’t date.

Looking for proof of what precise, watertight bathroom tiling looks like? This Pt Chevalier renovation, done with Kirsty Vegas Design, was recognised at the 2025 TIDA New Zealand Bathroom Awards. Here’s the tiling and waterproofing work behind the finish.

A Refined Bathroom That Won’t Date

This luxury bathroom renovation in Pt Chevalier shows how much the tiling adds to a refined design. Kirsty Vegas Design chose premium finishes and natural textures for this bathroom. Our job was to make sure it looks good and lasts.

Tarara Tiling completed the tiling with a strong focus on precision, symmetry and long-lasting performance. Every tile was set carefully for clean lines and even joints, so the design speaks for itself.

The Tiling & Waterproofing Work

Behind a calm, clean finish sits a lot of careful preparation. On this project our scope included:

• Premium waterproofing system: applied and cured before a single tile went on, so the whole wet area is sealed beneath the finish.
• Full wall and floor tiling: set out so the lines run true across the room and the joints line up from floor to wall.
• Tiled shower: falls, junctions and detailing worked so it drains cleanly and stays watertight.
• Feature wall installation: laid out symmetrically so the wall reads as one clean plane.
• Precision tile layout: planned around fixtures, niches and corners to keep full tiles where they matter and avoid awkward cuts.
• Epoxy grouting: a harder-wearing, stain-resistant grout, colour-matched to the tile.
• Silicone finishing: clean, flexible seals at every internal junction.

Why waterproofing comes first. In a bathroom, the tiling everyone sees is only as good as the waterproofing no one sees. We fully waterproof and cure before tiling. Kirsty mentions exactly that in her review below. It’s the difference between a bathroom that looks good on day one and one that stays sound for years.

The Design: Kirsty Vegas Design

The project was designed by Kirsty Vegas Design, whose brief brought natural textures and premium materials together in a warm palette. We worked to that vision, translating the design into precise, durable tilework.

“Marko and his team are truly fantastic — they really care about what they do and carry out incredibly precise workmanship. Everything was fully waterproofed before tiling and the grout and epoxy colour matched up exactly to the perfectly cut tiles… Marko is 100% passionate about his craft and it shows. Their technique is second to none. Couldn’t recommend Tarara Tiling enough.”
