10–18 daysTypical job
Old floors out, new floors in, one room at a time if you need it — with the dust contained and the water shut off for hours, not days.
Tiling and flooring renovation in Bengaluru costs ₹120 to ₹320 per square foot including demolition, levelling, adhesive and laying. Material is on top of that. Removing an existing floor adds roughly ₹35–₹55 per square foot to a fresh-laying job.
You are working on top of something that already exists, and it is rarely level.
Overlaying saves demolition but raises the floor 12–20mm, which affects door clearance and every threshold. We measure the door gap before recommending it, because a door that no longer closes is an expensive surprise.
Hollow-sounding tiles mean the original adhesive failed. If we find that across a room, the substrate needs full preparation — patching over it just moves the problem.
Tile demolition in an occupied flat produces enormous dust. We seal the room with plastic, run the cutting outside or wet, and clean daily. This is what association complaints are usually about.
Lifting a bathroom floor destroys whatever waterproofing was underneath. Retiling a bathroom without re-waterproofing is the single most expensive mistake in home renovation.
Every failure we get called to fix started with one of these being skipped.
Over 3mm variation across 2 metres and the new floor will show every dip. Levelling compound costs a day; a bouncing floor costs the whole job.
Foam for laminate, cement adhesive for vitrified, and a moisture barrier on any ground floor. The wrong underlay is why floors creak and cup.
Wood and vinyl move with Bengaluru's humidity swing. A floor laid tight to the wall will buckle in the first monsoon.
Cut pieces go where nobody looks. A floor set out from the wrong edge puts a 40mm sliver right inside your doorway.
Sequenced so you keep a working bathroom for as long as possible.
A site visit that records what is actually there — not what the plan says. Old buildings hide surprises and we would rather find them before quoting.
Civil, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, then finishes. Renovation goes wrong when trades overlap in the wrong order.
One project manager, one WhatsApp group, daily photographs. You always know what happened on site that day.
Snag list closed in writing, debris removed, and every warranty document handed over together.
Labour, adhesive, levelling and disposal. Tile material is separate.
Straight overlay on a sound floor: levelling, adhesive and laying.
Full removal, debris disposal, substrate levelling and laying with a graded adhesive.
Large-format or natural stone with full substrate rebuild, epoxy grout and stone sealing.

Bathroom areas are quoted with waterproofing included — we do not retile a wet area without it.
Often yes, if the existing floor is sound and not hollow. It saves demolition cost and dust. The catch is height: you gain 12–20mm, which affects door clearance and thresholds. We measure the gap under your doors before recommending it.
Tap across it. A hollow sound means the original adhesive has debonded. If that covers more than a small patch, overlaying will fail too and full removal is the honest answer.
A lot — tile demolition is the dustiest work in any home renovation. We seal the working room in plastic, cut wet or outside, and clean daily. In an occupied flat this containment is most of what you are paying the labour for.
Yes, always. Lifting the floor removes whatever membrane was there. Retiling a bathroom without re-waterproofing is the most expensive shortcut in renovation, because the damage shows up in the flat below.
A bedroom takes 3–4 days including levelling and curing. A bathroom takes 7–10 days because the waterproofing needs a ponding test before tiling. We sequence bathrooms one at a time so you always have one working.
We work across Bengaluru, and we quote after seeing the site — not over the phone.
And tap a few tiles. If they sound hollow, tell us — it changes the scope.
