Which towns do we cover in Clwyd?

Water across much of Clwyd is moderately hard. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. Whatever the age of your Wrexham home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

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
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts

Decisions to make first

Floor grip

For a bathroom floor, choose a matt or textured tile with a slip rating of R10 or above. Smaller tiles with more grout lines grip better in a shower.

Grout

Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.

Edges

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

Ceramic or porcelain

Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut and cheaper, and is fine on walls. Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, so it suits floors and showers.

Rules that apply in Wales

Re-tiling a bathroom does not need planning permission or building regulations approval. In a flat, check the lease before changing to hard floor tiles, because sound insulation and the risk of leaks to the flat below matter, and wet rooms often need freeholder consent. In a listed building, removing original tiles that contribute to its character can need listed building consent.

In Wales, tiling is not controlled work. Moving electrical points to suit a new tile layout falls under the Welsh Part P, which covers more bathroom electrical work than the English version.
