Working in Welling

As well as Welling itself (DA6, DA15 and DA16), we survey in Bexley, Eltham and Thamesmead.

London homes in Welling often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Welling bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. We measure tiled areas in Welling bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Water across much of Greater London 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

Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
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

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.

Grout

Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.

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 Welling?

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.
