What the job includes
- 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
- Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
- Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
