Working in Maldon

We cover every part of Maldon, including CM9, and nearby Witham (5 miles) and Chelmsford (8.8 miles).

Maldon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Tiling quotes in Maldon list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. If your Maldon home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.

Water across much of Essex is very 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

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
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

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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 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.
