What does tiling & flooring involve?
Most tiling failures in UAE homes are substrate failures. A floor that was not levelled, an adhesive that was not suited to the tile, or a wet area laid without falls will fail regardless of how good the tile is. Top Fixers prepares properly: we check and correct level, prime where required, select adhesive by tile type and substrate, and set out the room so cuts land where they are least visible.
We install porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, large-format tile, vinyl, LVT, laminate, engineered wood and parquet, along with skirting, thresholds and trims. Large-format tiles in particular need full adhesive coverage and a levelling system to avoid lippage, which is exactly where fast, cheap installations show their shortcuts within a year.
In bathrooms, kitchens and balconies, we build in the details that decide whether a floor lasts: correct falls to drains, movement joints at perimeters and at changes of substrate, and waterproofing beneath wet areas with a flood test before tiling. Grout and silicone are specified for the location rather than chosen for colour alone.

Tiling & Flooring — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does floor tiling cost in Dubai?
Tiling with Top Fixers starts from AED 399, with the final price depending on area, tile format, substrate condition and whether removal of an existing floor is needed. Large-format tiles and natural stone cost more to lay because they need levelling systems and more careful setting out.
Why are my tiles cracking or sounding hollow?
Hollow-sounding tiles indicate incomplete adhesive coverage, so the tile is bridging voids and will eventually crack under load. Cracking can also come from movement in the substrate where no movement joints were provided. Both are installation faults rather than tile faults.
Can you tile over existing tiles?
Sometimes, if the existing floor is sound, well bonded and the additional height is acceptable at doors and thresholds. It is rarely the right choice in wet areas, however, because it buries the waterproofing layer and any existing defect underneath.
How long before I can walk on a newly tiled floor?
Normally around 24 hours for light foot traffic and 48 to 72 hours before heavy loads or furniture, depending on adhesive and grout. Wet areas need the full cure before being used. Rushing this is a common cause of lippage and grout failure.
Is vinyl or laminate better for UAE apartments?
Vinyl and LVT tolerate moisture far better, which matters in UAE bathrooms, kitchens and near balcony doors. Laminate is harder-wearing underfoot but swells permanently if water reaches the core. For most UAE apartments, quality LVT is the more forgiving choice.
