PRE-SALE & STYLING
The finish that gets your listing sold faster.
A re-tiled floor, a fresh coat where it counts, or both — fast turnarounds that help your property show its best on inspection day.
Buyers notice the details. So do agents.
A scuffed wall, dated tiles or a tired bathroom can cost more at sale than the renovation would have. Most vendors know something needs doing but don’t know who to trust with a fast, quality turnaround before listing. Tessera & Co specialises in exactly that — the finishing work that makes a property show well, done quickly and done properly.
What we cover
Every space where tiling and painting come together — handled as one job.
Bathroom Refreshes
Retiling, regrouting and repainting — the fastest way to modernise a dated bathroom before listing without a full renovation.
Interior Repaints
Full interior repaints in neutral, market-ready tones that photograph well and appeal to the widest buyer pool.
Kitchen Updates
Splashback retiling and cabinet-area repainting — targeted updates that lift the feel of the whole kitchen without a full remodel.
Exterior & Kerb Appeal
Exterior repaints and entry tiling that make the right first impression before a buyer even walks through the door.
Tiles worth building a renovation around.
Most tilers work with whatever you bring them. We go further — hand-selecting a curated range of imported Italian and Spanish tiles, so a Tessera & Co renovation starts from a genuinely premium foundation.
Kirribilli Ivory Travertine Look
Wall tile — bathrooms, ensuites
Natural stone-inspired texture in soft ivory tones. A timeless travertine look without the maintenance of real stone — warm, tactile, and suits every Gold Coast home style from coastal to contemporary.
Thirroul Travertine Look Matte Subway
Wall tile — bathrooms, laundries
A matte subway format with natural travertine texture. Introduces warmth and softness without overpowering a space — pairs beautifully with timber accents and brushed brass tapware.
Stirling White Terrazzo Look
Floor & wall tile — bathrooms, kitchens
A clean, modern terrazzo look in white. Flows seamlessly from floor to wall for a light-filled, cohesive finish. One of TileCloud’s most popular selections for Gold Coast bathroom renovations right now.
Noosa Gloss Zellige Taupe
Wall tile — kitchens, laundries
Zellige-inspired gloss tile in warm taupe. Brings texture and warmth to kitchens and splashbacks without the irregularity of handmade Zellige — practical, beautiful, and endlessly versatile.
Newport Gloss Bone Mixed Square
Wall tile — bathrooms, feature walls
A classic square format in bone gloss with a subtle handmade feel. Gentle colour variation from tile to tile catches light throughout the day — especially effective in smaller bathrooms where you want the walls to feel alive.
Northbridge Peach Terracotta Look
Floor tile — ensuites, alfresco
Warm terracotta look in a modern format. Pairs beautifully with white walls, brushed nickel tapware and natural timber — earthy, grounded, and exactly the Gold Coast coastal aesthetic homeowners are choosing right now.
Clovelly Stone Look Crazy Paving
Outdoor tile — alfresco, pathways
Warm sandy tones in a crazy pave format. The choice for Gold Coast outdoor and alfresco spaces handles the climate, pairs with painted cladding and brass hardware, and adds genuine character to any outdoor area.
Paddington Terracotta Terrazzo Look
Floor tile — laundries, ensuites
Terrazzo look with a warm terracotta base. Brings retro warmth to a space without committing to a maximalist aesthetic — light bounces beautifully off the surface, making compact bathrooms feel larger.
Coogee Antique Blue Kit Kat Mosaic
Feature walls — shower, splashbacks
Terrazzo look with a warm terracotta base. Brings retro warmth to a space without committing to a maximalist aesthetic — light bounces beautifully off the surface, making compact bathrooms feel larger.
Coogee Antique Sage Green Kit Kat Mosaic
Feature walls — shower, splashbacks
Sage green in a slim kit kat format — one of the most-requested colour directions for Gold Coast renovations right now. Pairs beautifully with warm timber vanities, brushed brass tapware and limewash walls. Soft enough to use generously, interesting enough to stand on its own as a feature.
Coral Bay Gloss Pink Fish Scale
Feature walls — shower, splashbacks
A gloss fish scale tile in soft blush pink. The curved scale shape catches light from every angle — bold enough to be a talking point, refined enough to stay in a premium renovation. Suits a powder room or ensuite feature wall where one surface is supposed to do all the work.
Broadwater Mix Gloss Penny Round Mosaic
Shower floors — splashbacks, laundry
Rich dark blue tones in a classic penny round mosaic format. The gloss finish catches natural light beautifully — a shimmering, textural depth that works equally on shower floors, feature walls and pool surrounds. One of TileCloud’s most loved coastal tiles, and one of the most photographed finishes in the range.
