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

Water across much of County Londonderry is 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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
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
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Northern Ireland

In Northern Ireland, tiling does not need building control approval. Building control comes in only where drainage or structure is altered alongside it.
