What makes tiling worth getting right?
Bathroom tiling has to do two jobs at once — look right and keep water out. Poorly-set tiles or bad grout lines are one of the most common causes of hidden damp and damage further down the line, which is why we treat tiling as a proper trade skill, not an afterthought tacked onto the end of a renovation.
Grout and sealant matter as much as the tiles themselves. Cheap grout or a thin, rushed bead of sealant is one of the most common reasons a two-year-old bathroom starts looking tired, with cracked grout lines letting moisture in behind the tiles. We use full-strength sealant at every join, not a quick pass to make it look finished on the day, and we're happy to talk you through the upkeep that keeps it looking right for years rather than months.
Signs your tiling needs replacing, not just re-grouting
- Cracked or missing grout letting water through behind the tiles
- Tiles that sound hollow when tapped — usually a sign the adhesive has failed
- Discoloured or mouldy grout that won't come clean no matter how it's scrubbed
- Tiles that are visibly dated, chipped, or cracked
- Water pooling or staining on the floor near the shower or bath

Tiling FAQ
Questions about tiling.
Do you tile on its own, or only as part of a bathroom job?
Both — most of our tiling happens as part of a full bathroom renovation or fitting job, but we also take on standalone tiling work if you just need a floor or wall re-tiled.
What tile materials do you work with?
Porcelain, ceramic, and other common bathroom tile materials. If you've got a specific tile in mind, mention it when you get in touch and we'll confirm we can work with it before you book.
Does the renovation include tiling, or is it extra?
For full bathroom renovations, tiling is included as part of the job — we handle everything from stripout to final clean, so you don't need to find a separate tiler.
Can tiles be fitted over underfloor heating?
Yes — tile is one of the best-performing floor coverings over underfloor heating, since it conducts and holds heat well and won't be damaged by the temperature changes. If underfloor heating's part of your plan, let us know at the quote stage so we can plan the buildup and any additional insulation properly.
How long does bathroom tiling take?
It depends on the area and whether we're working around existing tiling or starting fresh, but as a general guide, a standard bathroom's tiling usually takes 1–2 days once preparation is done. We'll give you a specific estimate for your job at the quote stage rather than a generic promise.
Do you tile shower enclosures and wet areas differently to the rest of the bathroom?
Yes — wet areas like inside a shower enclosure need more rigorous waterproofing (tanking) behind the tiles than the rest of the room, since that's the area under constant direct water exposure. We treat that difference properly rather than tiling the whole room to the same standard and hoping the wet area holds up.
