Working in Colwyn Bay

We cover every part of Colwyn Bay, including LL28, LL29 and LL31, and nearby Llandudno (4.8 miles) and Rhyl (9.8 miles).

Homes in and around Colwyn Bay vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Colwyn Bay flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Colwyn Bay bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Most of Clwyd has moderately hard water. 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.

What the job includes

Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

Decisions to make first

Tile size

Large-format tiles mean fewer grout lines but need flat walls and more preparation. Small tiles and mosaics follow uneven surfaces and grip better underfoot.

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 Wales

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.

Is the water hard in Colwyn Bay?

Should bathroom tiles go floor to ceiling?

Full-height tiling is easier to wipe clean and looks finished, but it adds area and cost. Tiling just the wet areas and using bathroom paint elsewhere is a reasonable way to save money in a well-ventilated room.
