Our Wall Tile Fixing Process
At Arifeen Marble, we believe that the foundation of a high-quality tile installation lies in a systematic, professional process. Each wall tile fixing project—whether residential or commercial—is handled with precision, attention to detail, and respect for your property.
Site Inspection and Consultation
Every successful project begins with a proper assessment. Our experienced team visits your site to:
Evaluate wall conditions (moisture levels, cracks, leveling)
Understand your design vision and space usage
Recommend suitable tile types and installation methods
Take accurate measurements for material estimation
💡 Why It Matters:
A thorough inspection helps prevent common issues like tile detachment, uneven surfaces, and water damage. It also allows us to give you a transparent, itemized quotation.
📋 Site Visit Charges: FREE in most Dubai and Sharjah areas. For other Emirates, charges may apply and are later adjusted in the project cost.
From initial consultation to final cleaning, our process is designed to deliver outstanding results that not only look beautiful but last for years. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of our complete wall tile fixing workflow.
What You Get
Surface Preparation
Preparing the wall surface is critical to ensure strong adhesion and long-lasting results. Depending on the site condition, this may include:
Cleaning dust, grease, or old paint
Filling cracks or leveling uneven walls
Applying a primer or bonding agent if needed
For bathroom or kitchen walls, we also offer optional waterproofing services using high-grade products like Mapei or Sika, especially for high-moisture zones.
💰 Optional Waterproofing Cost: AED 20 – AED 35/m²
Tile Layout and Design Planning
Once the surface is ready, we move to layout planning, a crucial step for both aesthetics and functionality.
We take care to:
Create balanced layouts (especially around doors and windows)
Center patterns and align feature tiles properly
Plan cuts to avoid awkward or uneven tile edges
Dry-lay designs for approval (if needed)
✨ Tip: If you’re using decorative, patterned, or mosaic tiles, we recommend a layout sketch or CAD design, which we can provide at an additional cost upon request.
Adhesive Application and Tile Fixing
This is where the transformation begins. Using only high-quality adhesives (like Laticrete, Weber, or Mapei), our tile fixing experts:
Apply adhesive evenly using a notched trowel
Fix tiles with precision and correct spacing
Use tile spacers and levels to ensure even grout lines
Handle delicate tiles with care (e.g., glass, marble, mosaics)
🧰 Materials Used:
Cement-based tile adhesive for ceramic/porcelain
Flexible adhesive for exterior or high-stress areas
Epoxy-based adhesive for glass and mosaic tiles
⏳ Time Estimate:
Fixing speed ranges from 8 to 15 m² per day, depending on tile type and wall condition.
3.5 Grouting and Finishing
After the adhesive cures (usually within 24–48 hours), we move to grouting, the process that seals the joints between tiles.
We offer:
Standard cement grout for ceramic/porcelain
Epoxy grout for wet areas and decorative tiles
Color-matched grouts for seamless aesthetics
Our team ensures:
Clean, even grout lines
Proper drying and sealing (especially for natural stone)
Polishing of tiles if required (for marble or granite)
💰 Optional Epoxy Grouting Cost: AED 35 – AED 50/m²
3.6 Final Cleaning and Quality Check
The final step includes a detailed clean-up and quality assurance check:
Removing excess grout and adhesive residue
Polishing the tile surface (especially natural stone)
Checking alignment, spacing, and finish
Client walkthrough and approval
We also offer protective coatings or sealers for natural stone tiles upon request, adding extra protection and enhancing shine.
✅ Project Completion Includes:
Clean handover
Material care guide (if requested)
1-year fixing warranty on labor for most residential projects

We invest in industry-leading brands, use precision equipment, and follow international standards to ensure every tile we fix is perfectly placed and properly protected.
4.1 Tile Adhesives and Grouts

Using the right tools ensures efficiency, clean execution, and reduced tile wastage—saving time and cost for our clients.
4.3 Sealants and Protective Coatings
Tiles and grouts, especially natural stones like marble or travertine, require sealing to maintain their beauty and durability. We use professional-grade sealants to protect surfaces against:
Water penetration
Oil and grease stains

Mistakes to Avoid in Wall Tile Fixing
Wall tile installation might look simple, but even minor mistakes during the process can lead to costly repairs, water damage, tile failure, and a poor visual finish. At Arifeen Marble, we’re often called to fix poorly done work by untrained laborers or cheap contractors who skipped essential steps.
In this section, we highlight the most common wall tile fixing mistakes and how our expert team avoids them to deliver perfect results—every time.
7.1 Using Incorrect Adhesives
❌ The Mistake:
Using the wrong adhesive for the type of tile or wall surface is one of the most damaging errors in tile fixing. For example, applying a basic cement adhesive on heavy natural stone or using non-flexible glue on an exterior wall leads to tile detachment, cracks, and eventual failure.
✅ Our Solution:
At Arifeen Marble, we always match the adhesive to the:
Tile type (ceramic, porcelain, marble, glass)
Substrate (concrete, gypsum board, block wall)
Environment (interior, exterior, wet area)
We use only certified brands like Mapei, Weber, Laticrete, which offer product-specific solutions.
📌 Quick Guide to Adhesives:
| Tile Type | Recommended Adhesive | Approx. Cost (AED/20kg Bag) |
|---|---|---|
| Ceramic | Cement-based adhesive | 35 – 45 |
| Porcelain | Flexible adhesive | 45 – 60 |
| Marble/Granite | White marble adhesive (non-staining) | 60 – 80 |
| Mosaic/Glass | Epoxy-based or light-colored | 55 – 75 |
7.2 Poor Surface Preparation
❌ The Mistake:
Skipping wall leveling, not removing dust or paint, and ignoring moisture issues lead to uneven tile lines, weak bonding, and water seepage.
Many budget contractors skip this critical step to save time or money, which results in poor adhesion and premature tile failures.
✅ Our Solution:
We follow a strict surface preparation checklist:
Remove dust, grease, and old paint
Fill wall imperfections with leveling compounds
Apply bonding agents or primers where needed
Provide optional waterproofing membranes in wet zones
💧 Waterproofing Cost (Optional): AED 20 – 35/m²
(Recommended for bathrooms, balconies, kitchens, and exteriors)
7.3 Misaligned Tiles
❌ The Mistake:
Crooked tiles, inconsistent spacing, and off-center patterns ruin the visual appeal of any wall, especially in kitchens or feature areas. Misalignment is usually due to:
Lack of planning
Not using laser levels or tile spacers
Rushing the job
✅ Our Solution:
At Arifeen Marble, visual alignment is a top priority:
We use laser levels and tile spacers for perfect rows
Plan the layout before adhesive is applied
Balance tile cuts around windows, switches, and edges
Dry-lay decorative patterns and get client approval before fixing
We also offer digital layout mockups for complex designs or feature walls.
7.4 Inadequate Grouting
❌ The Mistake:
Grouting mistakes are very common in unskilled installations:
Skipping grout entirely or using low-grade products
Poorly mixed grout that cracks or shrinks
Wide or uneven grout lines
Using cement grout in wet zones where epoxy is needed
This can lead to moisture penetration, mold growth, and tile shifting.
✅ Our Solution:
We apply grout only after full adhesive curing (24–48 hours) and use:
Epoxy grout in bathrooms, kitchens, and exteriors
Color-matched cement grout for other areas
Proper finishing tools to create smooth, sealed joints
📌 Grout Pricing:
| Grout Type | Application Area | Estimated Cost (Supply + Application) |
|---|---|---|
| Cement Grout | General use | AED 10 – 15/m² |
| Epoxy Grout | Wet areas / decorative | AED 35 – 50/m² |
We also offer grout sealing services for extra protection on light-colored tiles or natural stone surfaces.
🛡️ Why Avoiding These Mistakes Saves You Time & Money
| Common Mistake | Impact | Avoided By Arifeen Marble |
|---|---|---|
| Wrong adhesive | Tile falls off, water seepage | Correct product matched to surface |
| Poor surface prep | Weak bonding, uneven surface | Full leveling and cleaning process |
| Misaligned tiles | Ugly finish, waste of materials | Laser-guided installation |
| Inadequate grouting | Mold, water leakage, tile movement | Epoxy/cement grout with sealing option |

It was refreshing to work with a tile fixing company in Dubai that actually listens and delivers what they promise. Highly recommended!”

FAQs About Wall Tile Fixing
At Arifeen Marble, we believe an informed customer makes the best decision. Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about wall tile fixing—including methods, materials, and best practices.
The best way to install wall tile is to follow a structured, step-by-step process that ensures strong adhesion, visual alignment, and long-term durability. At Arifeen Marble, our method includes:
Surface preparation – The wall must be clean, dry, level, and free of dust or paint.
Layout planning – We map out the tile pattern to avoid awkward cuts and ensure symmetry.
Adhesive application – Using a notched trowel, we apply the appropriate tile adhesive based on the tile and wall type.
Tile placement – Tiles are fixed in position using spacers, laser levels, and leveling clips.
Curing time – Tiles are left undisturbed for 24–48 hours.
Grouting – Grout is applied evenly, and any excess is cleaned off.
Finishing – We clean and polish the tiles, apply sealers (if needed), and inspect for final quality.
For best results, always hire a professional tile fixing service in Dubai like Arifeen Marble, especially for large tiles or marble applications.
To hang a tile securely on a wall, follow these steps:
Prepare the wall – Sand or scrape old paint, remove debris, and make sure the wall is dry and flat.
Mark your layout – Use a level and chalk line to mark straight guides.
Mix the adhesive – Choose the right tile adhesive (cement-based, epoxy, or polymer-modified).
Apply the adhesive – Use a notched trowel to spread the adhesive evenly.
Place the tile – Press it firmly into the adhesive and use spacers between tiles.
Let it set – Wait for 24–48 hours before grouting.
Grout the joints – Use a rubber float to apply grout and a sponge to clean residue.
👉 Pro tip: For heavier materials like marble or granite, always use white marble adhesive or mechanical anchors to ensure safety and durability.
Wall tiles are fixed using tile adhesives, which can be:
Cement-based adhesives (for ceramic and porcelain)
Flexible adhesives (for high-moisture or exterior walls)
Epoxy adhesives (for mosaics and glass tiles)
White marble adhesives (for natural stone to avoid staining)
Other essential tools and materials include:
Notched trowels
Tile spacers and leveling clips
Laser levels
Grouts (cement or epoxy)
Sealers (for stone and grout)
At Arifeen Marble, we use only top-tier products like Mapei, Weber, and Laticrete for strong, lasting adhesion in all tile fixing jobs.
The 3/4/5 rule, also known as the Pythagorean method, is used to ensure that the first row of tiles is laid at a perfect 90-degree angle, especially important in large or patterned wall areas.
Here’s how it works:
From a corner, measure 3 units along one wall.
From the same corner, measure 4 units along the adjacent wall.
The diagonal between those two points should measure exactly 5 units if the corner is square (90°).
This rule is essential for:
Ensuring straight tile lines
Avoiding misalignment
Achieving professional-looking results, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, or decorative wall sections
At Arifeen Marble, we use this rule during layout planning to set a strong visual foundation before fixing the first tile.
Tiles are attached to a wall using specially formulated tile adhesives, which bond the tile to the surface. The general process includes:
Adhesive application – Spread evenly using a notched trowel
Tile placement – Firmly pressed into the adhesive
Spacers used – For consistent grout lines
Setting time – Allow adhesive to cure before applying grout
The strength of the bond depends on:
Proper surface preparation
Correct adhesive type
Adequate curing time
Skill of the tile fixer
At Arifeen Marble, we go beyond basic fixing—we ensure that each tile is level, secure, and properly sealed, using both manual precision and digital measuring tools.
Fixing wall tiles with cement mortar is an older technique and is still used in some traditional or exterior wall applications. Here’s how it’s done:
Mix cement mortar – Usually in a 1:3 or 1:4 cement-to-sand ratio
Apply a base coat – Cement slurry is applied to the wall and back of the tile
Press tiles into the wall – Using a slight twisting motion
Level manually – Using a wooden float or rubber mallet
Allow setting time – 24 to 48 hours before grouting
However, cement fixing has some drawbacks:
Less flexibility than modern adhesives
Higher risk of tile detachment if the wall isn’t perfectly prepared
Not suitable for moisture-sensitive tiles like marble
👉 That’s why Arifeen Marble recommends cement-based adhesives over traditional mortar, especially for wall tile fixing in kitchens, bathrooms, or commercial interiors in Dubai’s humid climate.
