Which towns do we cover in Dundee and Angus?
Most of Dundee and Angus is supplied with soft water. 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. If your Dundee home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.
What the job includes
- Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
- Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
- Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
- Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
- Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
- Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Decisions to make first
Edges
Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.
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.
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.
Rules that apply in Scotland
Re-tiling a bathroom does not need planning permission or building regulations approval. In a flat, check your title deeds and any deed of conditions before changing to hard floor tiles, because sound insulation and the risk of leaks to the flat below matter, and wet rooms often need agreement from the other owners or the factor. In a listed building, removing original tiles that contribute to its character can need listed building consent.
In Scotland, re-tiling does not need a building warrant. Forming a new bathroom or altering drainage for a tiled shower floor may, so check before the floor is opened.
