Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Walton-on-the-Naze: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Walton-on-the-Naze home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Walton-on-the-Naze bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.
Most of Essex has very hard water. 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
- Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
- Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
- Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
- Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
