5 Best Ceramic Tile Shops in Sydney (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Choosing tile from a screen is a gamble. The grout line that looked warm and neutral online can turn out grey and cold once it's actually on your wall. We compared five Sydney tile retailers, from a ship-anywhere online store to a heritage specialist that's been restoring Federation porches since 1982, using nothing but their live Google ratings and what customers said about the buying experience.

Short answer: TileCloud leads this list with a 4.6 average across 797 Google reviews, the largest track record among the Sydney tile retailers we compared, thanks to its online-first, ship-anywhere model. Stone and Tile Projects, Evo Tile & Stone, and tilebox each hold a perfect 5.0, on smaller but still substantial review counts. Expect to order physical samples before committing online, and to book a showroom consult for anything heritage or bespoke.

Our take: Far and away the volume leader here at 797 reviews, and it earns that scale by shipping accurately most of the time, with a named person actually reading and answering the reviews that go wrong.

Stone And Tile Projects

5.0166 Google reviews

Stone and Tile Projects is a Lane Cove West showroom specialising in indoor and outdoor stone and tile, with staff member Milad named in review after review for guiding full bathroom and outdoor renovation projects rather than just ringing up a sale.

What people praise

  • After-sale support described as going well beyond what's expected, including a free extra tile for an awkward drain cover
  • Handles interstate orders; one reviewer bought from Brisbane based on an emailed quote alone
  • Packaging specifically praised for arriving damage-free where other suppliers' tiles broke in transit

Evo Tile & Stone

5.0157 Google reviews

Evo Tile & Stone has traded on Sydney's northern beaches since 2005, running a Seaforth showroom that covers indoor, outdoor, and pool tiles. Reviewers consistently name staff member Lucy for walking them through full renovation decisions rather than a single tile pick.

What people praise

  • Design guidance credited with simplifying an overwhelming range of styles and budgets
  • Team steps in to solve problems even when the shop wasn't directly at fault
  • Reviewers describe the process as patient and unhurried, even over a month of decisions

Our take: Also a perfect 5.0, on slightly fewer reviews than Stone and Tile Projects, which is why it sits just behind. Two decades on the northern beaches shows up in how specifically reviewers describe the design advice.

Olde English Tiles logo
#4🕑 Open 6 days/wk

Olde English Tiles

4.7165 Google reviews

Olde English Tiles has specialised in heritage tessellated tiles, mosaics, and restoration wall tiles since 1982, working out of Annandale on projects that range from Federation-era verandah restorations to full porch rebuilds on century-old homes.

What people praise

  • Named tradespeople get individual credit for both sales advice and the physical installation
  • Quotes described as competitive, including beating out other quotes that padded in unnecessary work
  • Finished restorations draw comments from neighbours and passersby

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer notes a wait for consultation due to a large project backlog, though communication stayed responsive throughout

Our take: The specialist on this list. Reviewers come here specifically for heritage tessellated and mosaic work that a general tile shop wouldn't stock, and 43 years in that niche shows.

tilebox

5.0120 Google reviews

tilebox is a family-run format-tile showroom in Alexandria stocking mosaic, timber-look, ceramic, porcelain, and bespoke slab tiles, with staff including Nadia and Eugene credited for narrowing down large ranges to a final pick.

What people praise

  • Perfect 5.0 average
  • One reviewer highlights an AI-generated visualisation of tiles in their actual space as an unusually helpful touch
  • Delivery described as fast and straightforward

Worth knowing

  • Showroom hours are more limited than the others on this list, closed Mondays

Our take: Ranks last only on review volume, not quality; its 5.0 average matches two others on this page. The in-store visualisation one reviewer mentions is a genuinely unusual extra for a tile shop this size.

How we score this list

Rating is each retailer’s live Google average. Review volume shows how many customers have actually left a rating, measured against similar Sydney tile and stone retailers. Confidence blends both, so a 5.0 average built on 150-plus reviews counts for more than the same score from a dozen. Recency tracks how fresh the latest reviews are. No retailer on this list paid to rank higher; a business can only pay for the separate Featured Partner badge.

How much do tiles cost in Sydney? (2026)

Price swings enormously by material and finish. Standard ceramic and porcelain tiles sit well below natural stone, heritage-reproduction, or imported ranges, and format (mosaic sheets versus large-format slabs) moves the per-square-metre price further still. Installation is almost always quoted separately from the tile itself, so ask for both figures before comparing retailers.

Serving all of Sydney

TileCloud and tilebox both operate out of the inner-south industrial pocket around Rosebery and Alexandria, Evo Tile & Stone and Stone and Tile Projects sit on the northern side around Seaforth and Lane Cove West, and Olde English Tiles is in the inner west at Annandale. Wherever you’re renovating, from the eastern suburbs to the north shore, search “tile shop near me” and at least one of these five is a reasonable drive.

What to ask before you order tile

  • Can I get physical samples before ordering the full quantity, and is that free?
  • Is the tile currently in stock, or a special order with a longer lead time?
  • What wastage percentage should I order on top of the measured area?
  • Do you offer installation, or supply only, and can you recommend a tiler?
  • What’s your policy on breakages or shortages discovered after delivery?

Frequently asked questions

Should I buy tile online or visit a showroom in person?

Colour and texture read differently on screen than under your own lighting, which is why retailers like TileCloud mail free physical samples before you commit to a full order. For anything heritage or bespoke, a showroom visit is worth the trip.

Do any of these shops handle heritage or restoration tiling?

Olde English Tiles specifically stocks tessellated and mosaic patterns matched to Federation, Victorian, and Art Deco homes, and has done since 1982. It’s the one to call if you’re restoring rather than renovating.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which gets it a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five tile shops?

We pulled the tile and stone retailers Google surfaces for Sydney searches, then ranked them on their live rating, how many customers have actually reviewed them, and how recently those reviews were left. We didn’t visit any of them ourselves.

How often is this page updated?

We refreshed the data behind this list in July 2026 and recheck it periodically as ratings and review counts change.

The bottom line

TileCloud is the safe default if you want the widest range and don’t mind buying online, backed by the deepest review record of the five. If your project is heritage restoration rather than a standard reno, Olde English Tiles is the specialist worth the trip to Annandale. Either way, get physical samples in your own light before you order.
