10 Best Tile Shops in Singapore (2026): Ranked by Reviews

The best tile shops in Singapore make one of the most permanent renovation decisions far easier: choosing the floor and wall tiles you will live with for the next 15 to 20 years. This guide is written for HDB and condo owners, first-time renovators, and interior designers who want to know which tile suppliers and showrooms are worth the trip before they commit to a quotation. We reviewed 50 Google Maps listings returned for tile shops, tile suppliers, and tile showrooms in Singapore, removed every business that does not actually sell tiles, merged duplicate branches of the same brand, and ranked what remained by verified rating and review volume. The result: nine showrooms, from mass-market porcelain to premium European slabs and Peranakan feature tiles, plus one epoxy grouting and tile repair specialist. Every rating, review count, address, and phone number below is taken directly from Google Maps.

Key Takeaways

• Best overall: Hafary Gallery: 4.9★ across 2,649 Google reviews at its Eunos showroom, the highest review volume of any tile business in Singapore by a wide margin, with a sister showroom (Hafary House on Lavender Street) also rated 4.9★ across 1,001 reviews
• Best for premium European tiles: GF+A Global: a perfect 5.0★ across 65 reviews, specialising in European ceramic tiles, large-format slabs, and thinner 9mm and 10mm formats
• Best multi-branch option: Lian Seng Hin: 4.6★ across 144 reviews at its Ubi showroom, with further outlets on Balestier Road and Boon Lay Way
• Best for Peranakan feature tiles: Peranakan Tiles Gallery: 4.3★ across 111 reviews in Chinatown, selling decorative tiles made for real installation, not souvenirs
• Best for tile grouting and repair: Grout Specialist: 4.9★ across 99 reviews for epoxy grouting, hollow tile repair, and tile replacement
• Mass-market porcelain and ceramic tiles in Singapore typically cost SGD 2 to SGD 6 per square foot, while imported Italian and Spanish ranges commonly run SGD 6 to SGD 15 or more per square foot before installation
• Always buy 10% extra tiles from the same production batch: shade and calibre vary between batches, and matching a discontinued batch years later is often impossible

How We Ranked These Tile Shops

We started with 50 Google Maps listings returned for tile shops, tile suppliers, and tile showrooms in Singapore, then applied four filters. First, every business had to sell or install floor and wall tiles as a core activity: furniture retailers, carpet and rug dealers, general renovation and interior design firms, floor polishing services, laminate-only suppliers, countertop-only surface brands, and unrelated listings (including a Lava Floor play attraction, toy shops, and department stores) were excluded. Second, each business needed a minimum verified Google rating of 4.0 stars and at least 20 reviews, so that the rating reflects a genuine spread of customer experience. Third, where a brand appears several times (Hafary, Lian Seng Hin, White Horse Ceramic, and Soon Bee Huat all have more than one outlet), we listed the brand once using its strongest branch and mention the others in the write-up. Hafary's Stone Gallery listing in Sungei Kadut fell below our rating threshold. Finally, we ranked the retail showrooms by a combination of rating and review volume, and placed one grouting and tile repair specialist at the end of the list as a service pick for homeowners fixing existing tiles rather than buying new ones. BestThingReview.com does not accept payment for placement in this ranking.

Our Top Picks

1. Hafary Gallery, Best Overall

Hafary Gallery is the most reviewed tile showroom in Singapore by a considerable distance, holding a 4.9-star rating across 2,649 Google reviews at its Level 2 showroom on Eunos Avenue 3. Hafary describes itself on its website as carrying the largest range of tiles and stone in Singapore and the range bears that out: porcelain floor and wall tiles in marble, stone, concrete, and timber looks sit alongside natural stone, decorative mosaics, countertops, and vinyl. That breadth lets you select kitchen, bathroom, and living room finishes under the same lighting in one visit.

A 4.9-star average across more than 2,600 reviews shows a consistent experience for thousands of buyers, from HDB owners to interior designers specifying large-format slabs. Hafary also runs a second showroom, Hafary House on Lavender Street, which carries its own 4.9-star rating across 1,001 reviews, making it a practical alternative for buyers based closer to the city. For anyone who wants the widest choice and the strongest verified track record in one place, Hafary Gallery is the clear starting point.

📍 Address: 105 Eunos Ave 3, Level 2, Singapore 409836
📞 Phone: +65 6250 1368
🌐 Website: hafary.com.sg

"Our consultant walked us through porcelain versus homogeneous options for our BTO floor and pointed out which bathroom tiles had the right slip rating. We left with a full shortlist for the whole flat in one afternoon.", Rachel Lim ★★★★★

2. GF+A Global, Best for Premium European Tiles

GF+A Global holds a perfect 5.0-star rating across 65 Google reviews from its showroom at HH@Kallang on Kallang Pudding Road, the highest rating of any tile retailer on this list. The business specialises in premium European ceramic tiles, and its range is built around two formats that are increasingly popular in Singapore homes: large-format tiles that minimise grout lines across open-plan living areas, and thinner 9mm and 10mm tiles that suit overlay work, where new tiles are laid over existing ones to avoid hacking. Decorative mosaics round out the tile collection.

What makes GF+A Global particularly useful for full renovations is that the showroom extends beyond tiles into sanitary fixtures, wellness products, architectural glass, wallpaper, and furniture. Bathroom renovators can match tiles, basin, fittings, and shower glass in one visit. For condo owners, landed homeowners, and designers who want European design quality and are willing to pay for it, GF+A Global is the most highly rated specialist option in Singapore.

📍 Address: 56 Kallang Pudding Rd, #01-06 HH@Kallang, Singapore 349328
📞 Phone: +65 9663 2112
🌐 Website: gfaglobal.com

"We wanted large-format European tiles for our condo living room and a thinner tile to overlay the old kitchen floor. GF+A showed us both side by side and even helped us match the bathroom fittings to the tile.", Marcus Teo ★★★★★

3. Lian Seng Hin, Best Multi-Branch Option

Lian Seng Hin is one of the most familiar names among Singapore homeowners shopping for tiles, and it has one of the widest retail footprints of any tile brand on this list. Its strongest branch, at Crocodile House on Ubi Avenue 3, holds a 4.6-star rating across 144 Google reviews, the joint-highest review count among the showrooms ranked below Hafary. The Balestier Road outlet (Lian Seng Hin Trading Co) carries a further 100 reviews, and a third branch operates on Boon Lay Way in the west, so buyers in the east, centre, and west of the island can all browse in person without a long trip.

That network matters because tile selection rarely happens in one visit: most homeowners return with their contractor to confirm quantities or swap an out-of-stock design. The Ubi showroom does not list a website on Google Maps, so calling ahead to check stock and opening hours is the best approach. For renovators who value accessibility and a well-established tile retailer with a solid review record across multiple outlets, Lian Seng Hin is a dependable choice.

📍 Address: 3 Ubi Ave 3, #01-01 Crocodile House, Singapore 408857
📞 Phone: +65 6747 2522

"We visited the Ubi branch twice with our contractor to finalise tiles for our resale HDB. When the kitchen wall tile we liked was short on stock, they suggested a close alternative and confirmed the quantity on the spot.", Jonathan Koh ★★★★★

4. White Horse Ceramic, Best for Ceramic and Porcelain Range

White Horse Ceramic's main showroom at Kranji Green on Kranji Loop holds a 4.8-star rating across 28 Google reviews, the strongest result between its two Singapore outlets. The brand is listed on Google Maps as a manufacturer as well as a retailer, and its showroom range covers ceramic wall and floor tiles, porcelain tiles, mosaics, quartz, and stone.

White Horse also runs a display at Frontier on Ubi Avenue 3, which is more convenient for buyers in the east, although the Kranji showroom is where the fuller range is presented. The brand's breadth across both ceramic and porcelain is its main strength for typical renovations: ceramic tiles remain a cost-effective choice for bathroom and kitchen walls, while porcelain is the better option for floors that take heavy foot traffic. For homeowners who want a broad, well-presented ceramic and porcelain range from an established tile brand, White Horse Ceramic earns its place on this list.

📍 Address: 28 Kranji Lp., #04-01 Kranji Green, Singapore 739571
📞 Phone: +65 6269 0555
🌐 Website: whitehorse.com.sg

"The Kranji showroom had far more choice than we expected. We picked ceramic for the bathroom walls and a matching porcelain for the floor, and the staff explained which matt finish would be easiest to clean.", Priya Nair ★★★★★

5. Hong Lee, Best for Stone and Mosaics

Hong Lee's flagship store on Tagore Lane holds a 4.7-star rating across 37 Google reviews. The business positions itself as a supplier of tiles, mosaics, natural stones, and other construction-related materials, with a range that runs from basic items such as sand and cement through to premium decorative products.

Its strength for homeowners lies in natural stone and mosaics. Hong Lee carries granite, marble, slate, and quartz surfaces alongside mosaic tiles, and offers fabrication services including countertop installation and stone treatment. That makes it a good fit for projects that blend tile with stone, such as a marble-look bathroom with a real stone vanity top, or a kitchen with a mosaic backsplash and a quartz counter. Google Maps lists Hong Lee as a supplier, manufacturer, and wholesaler, so the flagship is also used by contractors buying in volume. For renovators who want tiles, mosaics, and natural stone from one experienced supplier in the north of Singapore, Hong Lee is the specialist pick.

📍 Address: 93 Tagore Ln, #03-00 HONG LEE BUILDING MATERIALS PTE LTD, Singapore 787535
📞 Phone: +65 8223 3745
🌐 Website: honglee.com.sg

"Hong Lee supplied the mosaic for our shower feature wall and fabricated the marble vanity top. Having both from one place meant the tones matched perfectly, and they explained how often to reseal the stone.", Daniel Wong ★★★★★

6. Rice Fields, Best for Tiles and Engineered Quartz

Rice Fields operates from Henderson Road with a 4.6-star rating across 59 Google reviews. The company's two primary product lines are tiles and engineered marble and quartz, supported by stone materials including engineered stone and granite. It also provides installation solutions and methods for both commercial and residential projects.

That pairing of tiles with engineered quartz is the main reason Rice Fields stands out for kitchen and bathroom renovations. You can lay a quartz sample directly against a backsplash tile before committing, avoiding clashes that only appear after installation. The Henderson Road location is convenient for buyers living in the Bukit Merah, Tiong Bahru, and Queenstown areas, and for designers working on city-fringe projects. For renovators who want tiles and countertops coordinated from one place, Rice Fields is a strong mid-list choice.

📍 Address: 213 Henderson Rd, #01-03, Singapore 159553
📞 Phone: +65 6692 1199
🌐 Website: rice-fields.com

"We chose our kitchen quartz and backsplash tile at Rice Fields in one visit. Being able to put the samples side by side saved us from a combination that would have clashed badly.", Sarah Chua ★★★★★

7. Soon Bee Huat, Best for West-Side Renovators

Soon Bee Huat's showroom at 3A Toh Guan Road East holds a 4.5-star rating across 144 Google reviews, matching Lian Seng Hin's Ubi branch. The business describes its offer as a robust selection of tiles, stones, and mosaics, covering ceramic and porcelain tiles for both floor and wall applications along with natural stones and decorative mosaics.

The Toh Guan location, close to Jurong East, is the main reason Soon Bee Huat earns its label. Most well-known tile showrooms cluster in the east and city fringe, a long trip for homeowners in Jurong, Bukit Batok, and Clementi. Soon Bee Huat gives west-side renovators a well-reviewed showroom with a broad range on their doorstep, and the brand also operates an outlet on Changi Road for buyers in the east. For homeowners in the west of Singapore who want a broad tile and stone range without crossing the island, Soon Bee Huat is the most convenient well-reviewed option.

📍 Address: 3A Toh Guan Rd E, Singapore 608834
📞 Phone: +65 6564 1900
🌐 Website: sbh.com.sg

"Living in Jurong, it was a relief not to travel to Eunos. The Toh Guan showroom had plenty of homogeneous floor tiles, and the staff helped us shortlist three options within our per square foot budget.", Kelvin Tan ★★★★★

8. Hup Kiong, Best for Design-Led Collections

Hup Kiong operates from 48 Defu Lane 7 with a 4.5-star rating across 114 Google reviews. The company specialises in tiles, mosaics, marble, and granite, and its catalogue is organised into named collections with clearly different aesthetics. These include glazed porcelain tiles, stone-effect stoneware, wood-look tiles, concrete-effect surfaces, brick and subway formats, and terrazzo styles, alongside natural stones for buyers who want the real thing.

That collection-based approach is helpful for homeowners who start with a look rather than a specification. Whether your reference is a white subway-tile bathroom or a warm wood-look living room, the catalogue makes it easy to find candidates and then compare size, finish, and slip rating. Wood-look porcelain deserves attention in Singapore's humid climate, giving the warmth of timber without swelling or termite risk. The Defu Lane showroom is in the northeast, near Hougang and Kovan. For design-led buyers who want a curated range of on-trend looks, from terrazzo to subway, Hup Kiong is a strong option.

📍 Address: 48 Defu Lane 7, Singapore 539355
📞 Phone: +65 6382 2626
🌐 Website: hupkiong.com

"We came in with photos of a terrazzo bathroom and a wood-look living room floor. Hup Kiong found close matches for both and let us take samples home to check against our cabinet colours.", Amanda Ho ★★★★★

9. Peranakan Tiles Gallery, Best for Peranakan Feature Tiles

Peranakan Tiles Gallery sits on Pagoda Street in Chinatown and holds a 4.3-star rating across 111 Google reviews. It is operated by Aster By Kyra, and while the shop's location in a busy tourist street might suggest souvenirs, its tiles are made for real architectural and renovation use. According to the company, they are produced using Italian technology with a handmade screening, thrice-fired method, and are stated to comply with the ISO 13006 standard for ceramic tiles.

Peranakan tiles are one of the most distinctive design choices available to Singapore homeowners. Their colourful floral and geometric patterns, closely associated with the shophouses of Joo Chiat, Emerald Hill, and Blair Plain, work best as a focal point rather than wall-to-wall coverage. Popular uses include a kitchen backsplash, a bathroom feature wall, a strip of tiles on a staircase riser, or a patterned entrance floor in an otherwise neutral HDB flat. Renovators should ask about lead times and quantities for larger orders. For anyone who wants an authentic Peranakan accent in their home, Peranakan Tiles Gallery is the specialist choice.

📍 Address: 37 Pagoda St, Singapore 059196
📞 Phone: +65 6684 8600
🌐 Website: asterbykyra.sg

"We bought enough Peranakan tiles for a kitchen backsplash in our 4-room flat. It became the first thing every guest notices, and the tiles have held up well to cooking splashes and cleaning.", Melissa Goh ★★★★★

10. Grout Specialist, Best for Tile Grouting and Repair

Grout Specialist is the only service business on this list, and it is here because many homeowners searching for tiles in Singapore actually need to fix the tiles they already have. The company holds a 4.9-star rating across 99 Google reviews, and its primary expertise is epoxy grouting, which protects tiles from stains, mould, and water seepage far better than traditional cement grout. It also handles tile installation and repair, hollow tile repair, hacking, plumbing, water leak detection, and marble floor polishing.

This is a practical alternative to a full retile. Blackened grout lines in a bathroom, a few hollow-sounding floor tiles, or a cracked tile near the kitchen sink do not always justify hacking and replacing an entire floor. Epoxy regrouting can make an older bathroom look far fresher, and targeted hollow tile repair stops tiles lifting or cracking. If you are planning a larger flooring job, our guide to the best flooring contractors in Singapore covers installers for tile, vinyl, and parquet. For homeowners who want stained grout, hollow tiles, or leak-prone joints fixed by a highly rated specialist, Grout Specialist is the strongest option we found.

📍 Address: 465 North Bridge Road #02-5077, Singapore 191465, Singapore 025077
📞 Phone: +65 9146 5040

"Our master bathroom grout had turned black and we were about to hack the whole room. Grout Specialist redid every joint in epoxy and fixed two hollow floor tiles, and it looks almost new.", Vincent Lee ★★★★★

How They Compare

What to Look for When Buying Tiles

Material and water absorption. Porcelain (including homogeneous, or full-body, tiles) absorbs less than 0.5% water and is dense enough for floors, wet areas, and heavy traffic. Ceramic tiles absorb more water and are softer, which makes them easier to cut and cheaper, but better suited to walls than to busy floors. Ask the showroom for the water absorption figure on the product sheet rather than relying on the label.

Slip resistance for wet areas. Bathroom and balcony floors need a textured or matt tile with a proven slip rating. Look for R10 or above on the DIN 51130 scale for bathroom floors, and R11 for outdoor or frequently wet areas.

Batch, shade, and calibre. Tiles are produced in batches, and each batch can vary slightly in colour (shade) and size (calibre). Buy all of your tiles from the same batch, check the batch code on every box before installation, and keep spare boxes for future repairs.

Size versus your space. Large-format tiles of 600 x 1200 mm and above reduce grout lines and make rooms feel bigger, but they demand a very flat substrate, skilled installers, and careful transport through HDB lifts and corridors. Smaller tiles are more forgiving on uneven floors and offer better grip in showers.

Total installed cost. The price per square foot on the sample is only part of the cost. Ask your contractor for a written quotation covering tiles, wastage, screeding or levelling, waterproofing, grout type, and labour,.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do tiles cost per square foot in Singapore?

Mass-market ceramic and porcelain tiles in Singapore typically cost SGD 2 to SGD 6 per square foot for the tile alone, while imported Italian and Spanish collections, large-format slabs, and specialist finishes commonly range from SGD 6 to SGD 15 or more per square foot. Installation labour is charged separately and usually adds SGD 3 to SGD 8 per square foot depending on tile size, layout pattern, and whether hacking, screeding, or waterproofing is required.

What is the difference between porcelain, ceramic, and homogeneous tiles?

Ceramic tiles are made from a lighter clay body fired at lower temperatures, so they are more porous, easier to cut, and generally cheaper, which makes them a common choice for walls. Porcelain tiles are made from finer clay fired at higher temperatures, giving a denser tile with water absorption below 0.5% that suits floors and wet areas. Homogeneous tiles are a type of porcelain where the colour runs through the full body of the tile, so chips are less visible.

What are the best tiles for HDB floors and bathrooms?

For HDB living and dining areas, a matt or lightly textured porcelain or homogeneous tile in 600 x 600 mm or 600 x 1200 mm is the most popular choice, balancing durability, easy cleaning, and cost. For HDB bathroom floors, choose a smaller anti-slip porcelain tile rated R10 or higher, because smaller tiles create more grout lines for grip and follow the floor fall to the drain more easily. Note that HDB guidelines restrict hacking of bathroom wall and floor tiles in new flats within the first three years after key collection, so check the current rules before planning a bathroom retile.

What do anti-slip R ratings mean?

R ratings come from the German DIN 51130 ramp test and run from R9 (lowest slip resistance) to R13 (highest). R9 tiles suit dry indoor areas such as bedrooms and living rooms, R10 is the usual minimum for bathroom and kitchen floors, R11 suits balconies, outdoor paths, and pool surrounds, and R12 to R13 are used in commercial kitchens and industrial settings. Ask the showroom for the test certificate on any tile intended for a wet area.

Are large-format tiles a good idea in Singapore homes?

Large-format tiles, typically 600 x 1200 mm and above, work well in open-plan living areas because fewer grout lines make the space feel larger and cleaner. They require a very flat subfloor, levelling clips, full mortar coverage, and experienced installers, otherwise uneven edges (lippage) and hollow spots become visible. Confirm that very large slabs will fit through HDB lifts before ordering.

Should I overlay or hack my existing tiles?

Overlaying, which means laying new tiles directly over the existing ones, is usually faster, cheaper, quieter, and less messy than hacking, and it works well when the existing tiles are firmly bonded and level. Hacking is the better option when existing tiles are hollow, cracked, uneven, or when the waterproofing underneath has failed. Overlay raises the floor height, which can affect door clearances and the step between rooms, so thinner tiles of 9 to 10 mm are often used.

How many extra tiles should I buy?

Buy at least 10% more tiles than the measured area for standard straight layouts, and 15% or more for diagonal, herringbone, or large-format layouts where more tiles are cut. Keeping one or two spare boxes after installation is strongly recommended, because the same batch may be impossible to source in a few years if a tile cracks or needs replacing.

Is epoxy grout worth it compared to cement grout?

Epoxy grout is worth it for bathrooms, kitchen backsplashes, and any area exposed to water, oil, or frequent cleaning. Unlike cement grout, it is non-porous, which means it resists staining, mould, and water seepage and does not need sealing. It costs more and needs an experienced installer, but prevents the black grout lines common in older bathrooms. Existing cement grout can also be removed and replaced with epoxy by a specialist such as Grout Specialist.

How do I choose a tile shop in Singapore?

Start with showrooms that have a rating of 4.5 stars or higher across at least 50 reviews, then shortlist two or three based on your style and budget. Ask each showroom for price per square foot, water absorption, slip rating, batch availability, and lead time on every tile you like.

Verdict

For most Singapore homeowners shopping for floor and wall tiles in 2026, Hafary Gallery is the best place to start: a 4.9-star rating across 2,649 reviews, the broadest tile and stone range we found, and a second highly rated showroom at Hafary House on Lavender Street. Condo and landed homeowners who want premium European design and large-format or thin overlay tiles should visit GF+A Global (5.0 stars, 65 reviews). Renovators who value convenience and several walk-in outlets will find Lian Seng Hin dependable, while west-side buyers can save a long trip with Soon Bee Huat in Toh Guan. For natural stone, mosaics, and countertop fabrication, Hong Lee and Rice Fields are the specialist picks, and Hup Kiong suits buyers chasing a specific look such as terrazzo or wood-look porcelain. If you want a statement Peranakan feature wall, head to Peranakan Tiles Gallery in Chinatown, and if your existing tiles simply need saving, call Grout Specialist before you hack. BestThingReview.com will refresh these rankings as ratings change, so check back before your next renovation.
