JSR Tiling Ltd is a Christchurch tiling specialist established in 2011, delivering commercial and residential tiling across the city and greater Canterbury. The company runs dedicated tiling crews for commercial fit-outs and multi-unit developments alongside high-end residential work — bathrooms, kitchens, floors and outdoor spaces — combining commercial project discipline with high-end residential finishing.
Their service list covers the full scope of tiling: commercial floor and wall tiling, bathroom and kitchen tiling, ARDEX and Mapei certified waterproofing for wet areas, underfloor heating, frost-resistant outdoor and pool tiling, floor preparation and screeding, and large-format porcelain and stone up to 1200×2400mm. Builders and developers can send drawings, schedules or tender documents for itemised, plan-based pricing with programme-coordinated delivery.
The track record speaks for itself: more than 500 projects completed since 2011 and over 100,000 square metres tiled across Canterbury, backed by a 5.0-star rating from 105+ Google reviews. JSR Tiling is BCITO certified, ARDEX and Mapei accredited, a Site Safe member with Sitewise Green accreditation, and fully insured.
Selected clients include Fletcher Living, Hugo Boss, Riverside Market, the LEGO Store, Delilah and PappaRich, with completed projects ranging from the Delilah restaurant and Hoyts EntX cinema complex in the CBD to full-home tiling on an architectural build at 18 Burkett Street. Free site visits are offered across Christchurch and the Selwyn District, with itemised quotes returned within one business day.
Since 2011, JSR Tiling Ltd has been the tiling crew Christchurch builders call when a project has to be right. Working across the city and the wider Canterbury region, the company has completed more than 500 projects and laid over 100,000 square metres of tile — from flagship retail fit-outs in the CBD to full-home tiling on architectural residential builds.
What sets the team apart is a combination rarely found under one roof: commercial project discipline with high-end residential finishing. The same dedicated crews that deliver fast-track programmes for developers will spend weeks perfecting grout lines in a single family ensuite.
Every job follows a clear four-step process. It begins with a phone call to talk through scope, timeline and tile selection, followed by a free site visit where accurate measurements are taken and a detailed, itemised quote is prepared — no hidden costs, no obligation. Enquiries receive a response within one business day.
Then comes the work most customers never see. Substrate assessment, waterproofing and floor levelling happen before a single tile goes down, because — as the team puts it — every tile is only as good as the surface beneath it. Installation is handled by the company's own crews, who are expected to keep the site tidy, turn up when they say they will, and not leave until it's right.
Bathrooms are a specialty: floor-to-ceiling installations with the waterproof membrane done properly first, whether it's a compact ensuite or a full wet room. Kitchen work ranges from classic subway splashbacks to large-format porcelain floors.
In wet areas, the team installs ARDEX and Mapei certified membranes to manufacturer specification — with the correct flashings and falls — and provides documentation on request for builders and inspectors. For Canterbury's cold winters, electric underfloor heating can be installed beneath the tile, and outdoors they lay frost-resistant tiles on patios, pool surrounds and alfresco areas.
The company is also equipped for large-format work, handling porcelain and stone panels up to 1200×2400mm on architectural homes, feature walls and commercial fit-outs, with substrate preparation and set-out planning included.
The commercial portfolio reads like a tour of Christchurch's newer landmarks. JSR Tiling delivered the bar, wall and floor tiling for the Delilah restaurant in the CBD, large-format stone facade and floor work for the Hugo Boss flagship, and substrate prep and large-format flooring for the LEGO Store — all on tight retail programmes.
Other projects include the PappaRich restaurant in Riccarton, workspace tiling for law firms Anderson Lloyd and Malley & Co, and floor and wall tiling throughout the Hoyts EntX entertainment complex. The client list also features Fletcher Living and Riverside Market — clients who come back because programmed crews arrive when they're meant to and hand over clean.
Ask the team what matters and the answer is a list of non-negotiables: correct substrate preparation and priming every time; waterproofing applied to specification before tiling in wet areas; clean set-out so cuts land in the right places and grout lines stay true; wet-area floors graded properly to the waste so nothing ponds; and adhesives, grouts and membranes matched to the tile and substrate rather than whatever's cheapest on the shelf.
Just as important is a clear scope agreed before anyone arrives on site — so there are no scope-creep arguments mid-build.
JSR Tiling is BCITO certified, ARDEX and Mapei accredited, a Site Safe member with Sitewise Green accreditation, and fully insured. The company holds a 5.0-star rating across more than 105 Google reviews, with repeat homeowners describing outstanding attention to detail at competitive prices.
