Beaumont Tiles Experts In The Look You Want

Beaumont Tiles and Bathroomware in Ingham has been a cornerstone of the local building and renovation and building repair industry, providing expert advice, quality products, and unwavering community support. Owned and operated by Helen and Eric Shoubridge, this family business is more than just a tile and bathroom ware supplier, it is a trusted resource for homeowners and builders alike.

The store serves both residential and commercial customers, providing tiles and flooring, walls, kitchens, and bathrooms and assisting in designing and creating beautiful bathrooms and laundries with fixtures and fittings.

Helen emphasises that tiles are more than just a functional product, they can also be a statement piece in home design.

“Tiles are not just a barrier product, they are pieces of art and it comes down to the skill and design,” she said.

A significant part of their work involves collaborating with homeowners, contractors, and insurance companies to ensure seamless renovations.

People go into Beaumont Tiles with plans, and they can recommend tiles to work within different price ranges, all whilst finding what the customer had envisioned.

Helen and Eric moved to the district in 2004 to become motel owners and operators, and the experience they have gained since living in the region has allowed them to prepare for future disasters.

They have faced significant flooding and cyclone events whilst living in Ingham, and they quickly learnt the importance of quality materials and expert advice. This understanding led them to join Beaumont Tiles, a company known for its extensive range and reliable supply chain.

“We’ve been through these challenges ourselves,” Helen explained.

“Every flood has taught us something valuable, and that knowledge allows us to guide our customers on how to make the best choices for their homes and businesses.”

The recent floods brought unexpected challenges, with the store’s warehouse experiencing flooding for the first time. Despite taking precautions by storing materials on pallets, some stock was damaged. However, due to Beaumont Tiles being Australia-wide with locations throughout the country, they were able to work successfully to fulfil orders.

Helen said that Beaumont Tiles was and continues to be incredibly supportive, assisting in the recovery process and ensuring that supply remains consistent despite logistical difficulties.

Community support remains at the heart of Helen and Eric’s business philosophy.

“One of the reasons we chose to stay in Ingham was the incredible community spirit,” Helen said.

“When we first moved here, people would come by and ask if we needed help after a flood.”

Helen continues to thank everyone for their support in the early years by actively volunteering with Life Long Supports and The Abergowrie Long Pocket QCWA.

While Beaumont Tiles does not handle installations directly, Eric and Helen provide customers with the names of local businesses and assist customers in navigating current building challenges in the area.

As design trends evolve, the store ensures that customers have access to the latest styles and materials.

“We are always removing a certain style and putting in a new one,” said Helen.

“It’s quite exciting to collaborate with people to make their flooring, bathrooms, kitchens and laundries satisfying.”

Helen and Eric’s commitment to the community, combined with their deep industry knowledge has made Beaumont Tiles in Ingham an invaluable resource for homeowners and businesses alike.
