Working in High Wycombe

In High Wycombe we cover HP11, HP12 and HP13; we also cover Marlow, 4.3 miles away, and Amersham.

High Wycombe has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Tiling quotes in High Wycombe list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. We measure tiled areas in High Wycombe bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Water across much of Buckinghamshire is hard. 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

Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed

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.

Bathroom tiling in High Wycombe: questions

What is the price of bathroom tiling in High Wycombe?

Is the home survey in High Wycombe 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.

Do you cover HP11 in High Wycombe?

Yes. We cover all of High Wycombe, including HP11, HP12 and HP13, and nearby Marlow, Amersham and Amersham on the Hill. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need to tank a bathroom before tiling?

The shower area should always be tanked, because tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own. Around a bath with a shower over it, tanking the walls to above the shower head is sensible. A wet room needs the whole floor and the lower walls tanked.
