Water across much of Greater Manchester is soft. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. 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
- Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
- 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
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.
