Working in Mitcham

We cover every part of Mitcham, including CR4, SM4 and SW17, and nearby Morden (1.3 miles) and Wimbledon (2.2 miles).

In Mitcham, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. We measure tiled areas in Mitcham bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. Whatever the age of your Mitcham home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Most of Greater London 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

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

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.

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

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.

Is the water hard in Mitcham?

Should bathroom tiles go floor to ceiling?

Full-height tiling is easier to wipe clean and looks finished, but it adds area and cost. Tiling just the wet areas and using bathroom paint elsewhere is a reasonable way to save money in a well-ventilated room.
