What the job includes
- Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
- Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
- 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
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.
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.
