A family-owned trade serving Canberra for over 22 years. From shower waterproofing to full bathroom renovations, every job gets the same standard — finished by hand, finished right.
Alpine Tiling & Waterproofing is run out of Mitchell by Robert Osztrenkovics — a tradesman who's been laying tile across the ACT since 2003.
What started as a one-man operation has grown into a small family team that has trained 15 apprentices over the years. We still answer our own phone. We still meet every client on site. And we still treat every bathroom, splashback and pool as if it were going into our own home.
Because the work doesn't lie. Tiles are flat or they aren't. A shower is sealed or it isn't. We've spent two decades earning a reputation for the former.
"We don't chase the biggest jobs. We chase the cleanest finish — and the call-back from a happy client three years later."
Bathrooms, kitchens, splashbacks, balconies, pools, outdoor areas, feature walls. Ceramic, porcelain, marble, stone, mosaic — laid the same way: dead-flat, tight grout lines, every cut measured twice.
Bathrooms, laundries, balconies, and showers — sealed to Australian standards. We also handle leak detection, grout seepage repair, shower resealing and silicone caulking on existing work.
End-to-end project management — from design and screeding to fit-off. One trade managing the trades, so timelines don't slip and finish is consistent across every surface.
The structural side most tilers won't touch. Internal wall framing, timber decking, pergolas, architraves — useful when a renovation needs more than just a finish trade.
"Robert quoted within the day and turned up when he said he would. The bathroom is cleaner-cut than the original build."
"We had a leaking shower for years and three other trades couldn't fix it. Alpine sorted it in one visit."
"Used Robert for a full bathroom reno, then again for a kitchen splashback two years later. Wouldn't use anyone else in Canberra."
