Working in Newquay

We work right across Newquay — TR7 — and in neighbouring Truro and St Austell.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Newquay: free survey, written quote, one team. Tiling quotes in Newquay list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. We measure tiled areas in Newquay bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Supplies across most of Cornwall are soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. 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
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
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

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.

Natural stone

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

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.

Who handles building control for bathroom tiling in Newquay?

Building control for Newquay is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Do bathroom tiles need sealing?

Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles do not need sealing, but natural stone such as marble, limestone and travertine does, and some unglazed porcelain benefits from it. Cement-based grout can be sealed to slow staining; epoxy grout does not need it.
