Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Wimborne Minster: free survey, written quote, one team. We measure tiled areas in Wimborne Minster bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. If your Wimborne Minster home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.
Water across much of Dorset is hard. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
- Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
- 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
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.
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.
