Bathroom tiling

Bathrooms are where tiling either works or shows every shortcut. Most of the work
happens before a single tile goes up: checking the walls are flat, boarding out where plaster
won’t hold, and tanking anything that will get wet.

What we do

We tile baths, showers, splashbacks, full walls and floors. Large-format porcelain, classic
metro brick, mosaic feature strips and natural stone are all day-to-day work for us. If you’ve
already bought your tiles, we’ll work with them; if not, we’ll tell you what fits the room and
your budget before you spend anything.

How long it takes

A bath and splashback area is usually a day or two. A full bathroom — floor and all four walls —
is typically three to five days including grouting and sealing, and we stagger it so you aren’t
without a working bathroom longer than necessary.

Prep we don’t skip

Plasterboard behind a shower gets replaced with tile backer board. Junctions between walls and
trays get a tanking kit, not just extra silicone. Floors get checked for movement and, where
needed, overboarded — a floor that flexes will crack grout no matter how good the tiling is.
