Paiva Tiling Co
Felipe quotes urgent small jobs the next day — and customers away during renovations say the progress photos made the difference.
For homeowners managing a renovation from a distance or who can't be on-site, multiple customers specifically called out his habit of sending progress photos and keeping communication going unprompted, which is practical rather than just polite. Luis, a second tradesperson mentioned in one review, handled waterproofing without complication, suggesting Felipe brings in capable help when the job demands it — worth confirming directly if waterproofing is a required part of your scope. The business is relatively new (roughly 16 months), so the total review pool is modest at 25, but the sample we reviewed spans the full trading period with no dip in quality or responsiveness at any point.

About Paiva Tiling Co
Felipe Paiva runs this sole-trader tiling operation out of Cronulla, serving the Sutherland Shire with a hands-on approach across a wide range of residential projects — bathrooms, kitchens, pool surrounds, balconies, outdoor patios, laundries, and even specialist work like travertine hearth installations. A second tradesperson named Luis also appears in the reviews, specifically credited for waterproofing work done thoroughly and without drama, suggesting the business occasionally brings in skilled help for technical prep stages. Felipe himself is consistently praised for taking on small urgent jobs — like cracked toilet tile replacements — as readily as full bathroom and kitchen renovations, which is relatively uncommon for tilers who often filter out minor work. Customers frequently note that he provides progress photos and stays communicative when owners aren't on-site, making him a practical option for renovations where the homeowner can't be present throughout. Reviews also highlight his willingness to tackle challenging substrates — one job involved levelling a 50-year-old undulating floor before tiling, which speaks to a capacity for problem-solving beyond straightforward installs. At roughly 16 months old, Paiva Tiling Co is a newer business, though the review pattern across that period has been very consistent.
Best for: urgent small repairs and single-room tiling jobs, full bathroom or kitchen renovations where the owner can't be on-site, outdoor and pool area tiling in the Sutherland Shire, and projects involving specialist materials like travertine.

What areas does Paiva Tiling Co service?+
The business is based in Cronulla and reviews specifically mention jobs in Kirrawee and Oyster Bay, suggesting coverage across the Sutherland Shire. One review explicitly recommends them to anyone 'in the shire.' If you're just outside the Shire, it's worth calling to check — reviews don't mention how far Felipe will travel beyond that area.
Will Felipe take on small tiling jobs, or does he focus on full renovations?+
Based on the reviews, Felipe explicitly takes on small and urgent jobs — one customer needed cracked tiles in a toilet replaced urgently, and he provided a quote the next day and finished within three business days. This appears to be a deliberate part of how he operates, not an exception. If you have a minor repair or a single splashback, reviews suggest you won't be deprioritised.
What do customers say about pricing?+
Several reviews mention that his pricing was reasonable or competitive — one customer noted 'the price was very good' alongside praising the quality of work. No reviews flagged pricing as a concern. That said, reviews don't give specific figures, so you'll need to request a quote directly to compare against other tilers for your job type.
Does Paiva Tiling Co handle waterproofing as part of bathroom jobs?+
At least one review specifically calls out waterproofing being completed properly and without fuss — done by a tradesperson named Luis who appears to work alongside Felipe. It's worth confirming when you get your quote whether waterproofing is included in the scope or quoted separately, particularly for bathroom and wet area projects.
Is Felipe reliable if I can't be at home during the job?+
Multiple customers mention this directly. One reviewer who was away for most of the project noted that Felipe sent progress photos and walked them through each stage so they felt 'completely at ease.' This pattern comes up across several reviews — communication during the job, not just at the start, seems to be a consistent part of how he works rather than something that varies job to job.
