Working in Tewkesbury

As well as Tewkesbury itself (GL20), we survey in Cheltenham, Gloucester and Great Malvern.

Tewkesbury gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Tiling quotes in Tewkesbury list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. For Tewkesbury flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

Supplies across most of Gloucestershire are 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

Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

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.

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 Tewkesbury: questions

Is the home survey in Tewkesbury really free?

Do you cover GL20 in Tewkesbury?

Yes. We cover all of Tewkesbury, including GL20, and nearby Cheltenham, Gloucester and Great Malvern. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you tile over existing bathroom tiles?

Sometimes, but it is rarely the right choice. Tiling over tiles adds weight, brings the wall forward so trims and fittings no longer line up, and hides any loose tiles or water damage underneath. It is only worth considering where the old tiles are firmly bonded and the wall can take the extra load.
