Working in Bridlington

In Bridlington we cover YO15 and YO16; we also cover Scarborough, 16.1 miles away, and Beverley.

Homes in and around Bridlington vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Bridlington bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. If your Bridlington home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.

Water across much of the East Riding of Yorkshire 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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system

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.

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 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.

Bathroom tiling in Bridlington: questions

Is the home survey in Bridlington really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover YO15 and YO16 in Bridlington?

Yes. We cover all of Bridlington, including YO15 and YO16, and nearby Scarborough, Beverley and Kingston upon Hull. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need to tank a bathroom before tiling?

The shower area should always be tanked, because tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own. Around a bath with a shower over it, tanking the walls to above the shower head is sensible. A wet room needs the whole floor and the lower walls tanked.
