Why choose LVT or vinyl over tiling?
It's not an either/or — some bathrooms suit tiled floors, others suit LVT or vinyl, and it usually comes down to budget, the look you want, and how the room's used. LVT and vinyl are typically quicker to fit, warmer underfoot, and more forgiving if a single area ever needs replacing, while still being fully waterproof. We'll give you an honest recommendation based on your bathroom, not just what's easiest for us to fit.
LVT and vinyl are some of the easiest bathroom floors to live with day to day — no grout lines to catch dirt or need re-sealing, just a quick mop to keep them looking right. The trade-off is in subfloor preparation: any unevenness or damp in the subfloor telegraphs through a thin flooring material far more obviously than it would under tile, so proper prep before laying is what actually determines how it looks a year on, not just how it looks on installation day.

Flooring FAQ
Questions about LVT & vinyl flooring.
What's the difference between LVT and standard vinyl flooring?
LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) is a thicker, more durable rigid-core product that mimics stone or wood, while standard glue-down vinyl is a thinner, more flexible sheet material. Both are waterproof and low-maintenance — which suits you best usually comes down to budget and the look you're after, and we'll talk through the options when we quote.
Is LVT suitable for bathrooms?
Yes — it's one of the most popular bathroom flooring choices precisely because it's fully waterproof and handles the damp, high-traffic conditions of a bathroom far better than materials like laminate.
Can you fit LVT or vinyl on its own, without a full bathroom job?
Yes — while it's often part of a full renovation, we also fit LVT and vinyl flooring as a standalone job if that's all you need.
Can LVT be used with underfloor heating?
In most cases yes, though LVT has a lower maximum operating temperature than tile, so the underfloor heating needs to be set up correctly rather than just run at full power. Tell us if underfloor heating's part of the plan and we'll make sure the flooring and heating system are compatible before anything's fitted.
How long does LVT or vinyl flooring last in a bathroom?
With proper installation and reasonable care, LVT and vinyl flooring typically lasts 10–20 years in a bathroom, depending on the quality of the product and how much traffic the room gets. Proper subfloor preparation at the start makes the biggest difference to how well it holds up over that time.
Can LVT or vinyl be fitted over an existing floor?
Generally yes, over a sound, flat, and level subfloor — but not over an uneven, damaged, or damp one, since that shows through a thin flooring material far more than it would under tile. We'll assess the existing floor at the quote stage and tell you honestly if it needs work first.
