Working in Wokingham

We work right across Wokingham — RG40, RG41 and RG45 — and in neighbouring Crowthorne and Bracknell.

Homes in and around Wokingham vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We measure tiled areas in Wokingham bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Wokingham bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Most of Berkshire has hard water. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles

Decisions to make first

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

Rules that apply in England

In England, tiling itself is not building regulations work. If it is part of forming a level shower floor with new drainage, that drainage can be Part H work, and any new electrics are covered by Part P.

How long does bathroom tiling take?

Is the home survey in Wokingham really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Can large tiles be used in a small bathroom?

Yes. Large-format tiles mean fewer grout lines, which can make a small room look calmer. They need flat walls and careful setting-out so that cuts are not left as thin slivers by the door or window.
