The Tile Depot

The Tile Depot was established in 1995 and has since grown into one of the leading importers and retailers of quality tiles in New Zealand. 2020 marked 25 years since we began with one small shop and a range of just 23 tiles. We now have 13 large format stores from Whangarei to Queenstown, and our range exceeds 1000 tiles from Italian, Spanish and Asian manufacturers.

We select and source most of our range directly from manufactures based in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, and China. This gives us much better control over the availability, quality, and price, 3 key factors in providing a happy tiling experience. To date, our growth and success has come from providing a combination of a very large selection of importer priced tiles, tools, installation materials and accessories displayed in large showrooms, and supported by knowledgeable staff committed to providing fast friendly and efficient service. 

Our showrooms and warehouse now occupy 13 locations, plus we have a network of re-sellers in Kerikeri, Gisborne, Nelson, Christchurch & Dunedin. Some tile importers take your order and then pass it on to a factory overseas to avoid sitting on stock that may not sell, this can create huge lead times of months before you get your order. We have over 230,000m2 worth of stock waiting for you!

In 2017 we became the first New Zealand Tile business to gain Consumer Trusted Accreditation. The principles of the Consumer Trusted concept is to give consumers peace of mind they are dealing with a market leader that puts the consumer first, something our team strive to achieve and constantly improve on.
