Services
If you have urgent tiling requirements you can make an appointment between 10am and 3pm, or call the store to arrange for any pickups. Tiles by kate has been a long standing institution on the Northern Beaches for over 20 years. Kate was the original owner and Eliza and Georgie (sisters from Adelaide) bought the business from Kate 6 years ago.
Porcelain or vitrified tiles represent the highest form of technological advancement in the ceramic tile industry. They are highly regarded for their strength and durability qualities that occur due to the high firing temperatures. The key features of porcelain include overall strength, resistance to scratching, resistance to staining, low absorption, low porosity and single material throughout.
Use our new range of beautiful designed wallpaper tile panels to elevate the atmosphere of any space. Replicate the look and design of wallpaper on porcelain tiles. The large tiles are easy to install with fewer grout lines. The tiles can be used internally or externally, and as they are fired at high temperatures they are not affected by the elements.
We ask questions about the space, who will be using it, how much natural light is there, what is the size of the space, style of the home and interiors. If we are doing several bathrooms, kitchen and living areas we try to get a cohesive theme running through the home. We promote an individual style at tiles by kate.
Beautiful new mixed patterned vintage look tile, that can be used on either the wall or floor. New Copper mosaic tiles, natural terracotta bricks in various sizes and widths, stunning grey honed marble fingers and gorgeous natural terrazzo bring the colours and textures of nature into your home for that grounded and relaxed feel.

I cannot recommend Tiles By Kate highly enough. From the first phone call to my in store appointments, the Ladies were amazing. Tamsin helped me clarify and refine my design ideas and suggested tiles that were absolutely perfect. Eliza and Georgie supplied spot on advice and product, under super tight time frames, twice and by email no less! Whether you need tiles that are simply elegant or elegantly simple, the ladies at Tiles by Kate can deliver! Cat D

If I could give them a million stars I would! Second time I have used them and I couldn't be happier with the lovely ladies..they were so lovely...super duper helpful and quite honestly...u don't need to go anywhere else! Their range is off the charts and they were just so wonderful and the shop is so great I could have quite happily stayed all day if it wasn't for lockdown. Their knowledge was exceptional

Whoever served me there today looked like she couldn’t be bothered. It is rarely that someone can have such a passive aggressive vibe and watch business walk out. Clearly this could have not been the owner. Emotionless non empathetic face with zero personal skills. A tile was offered to us at $179 per square meter in Brookvale a very friendly team in a small tile shop had the same tile for $132 inclusive of GST! per square meter - one can’t help but believe that Tiles by Kate is a ripp off. We hav eben 3 times there and the aloof attitude was apparent each time. What a shame we wanted

Tiles by Kate is the perfect place if you're looking for tiles of any description!
We were helped by Eliza and Hilary, who went above and beyond to accomodate some pretty intense and last minute requests. They were extremely knowledgeable, super efficient and incredibly friendly - I cannot recommend highly enough!
Will definitely be looking to use again (hopefully multiple times!) in future.

We needed hand made white subway tiles for a kitchen splash back, and found Tiles by Kate through Google. We're based in the North Shore and thought we'd give them a try. On a Saturday we called the shop to check if they had the tiles we were after and they confirmed they had several white shades we could come and look at.
We drove to the shop, on entering, the shop appeared to have lovely tiles. We then went to the service desk to get help and were received by a lady who had a "can't be bothered" expression on her face. She reluctantly showed us the tiles, there were at least 5 varieties of white
