Planning a tile project and not sure what to expect? Here are the questions we get most often, answered plainly.

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

  • Every installation is led by Mykola, our founder and lead installer. He’s personally on site for each project — so the quality is consistent and you always know who to talk to.

  • 24 years of tile installation experience, including large-scale commercial projects in Europe before establishing MD Tile in Kingston. Mykola has been working in the Kingston area for the past three years.

  • It depends on the scope. A standard bathroom floor is usually 1–2 days. A full bathroom renovation — walls, floors, and shower — typically takes 5–10 working days. A kitchen backsplash is usually a single day. We give you a realistic timeline before we start and stick to it.

  • Every project is different — cost depends on the area size, tile type, pattern complexity, and substrate condition. We don’t quote over the phone because a number without seeing the space is usually inaccurate. We offer free on-site estimates so you get a real number you can plan around.

  • Yes, completely. We visit the space, take measurements, and give you a written quote — no charge and no obligation.

  • You supply the tile. We’ll advise on how much to order (including overage for cuts and repairs) and can guide you on formats, patterns, and grout colours. Installation materials — adhesive, grout, waterproofing membrane, leveling clips — are supplied by us.

  • We install professional systems including Schluter Kerdi, WEDI, and Mapei Aquadefense — applied to the full shower floor, walls, and all joints before any tile goes up. Proper waterproofing is what separates a shower that lasts 20 years from one that fails in 5.

  • Some dust from tile cutting is unavoidable. We use floor protection throughout the home, contain the work area as much as possible, and do a full cleanup at the end of every workday. Your home is treated with care throughout the job.

  • Standard grout needs 48–72 hours before light water exposure, and ideally 7 days before full shower use. We’ll confirm the exact wait time based on the specific products used on your project.

  • We stand behind our installations. If a problem develops because of how the tile was installed — not due to impact damage or structural movement — contact us and we’ll make it right. All systems are installed to manufacturer specifications.
