Working in South Hayling

As well as South Hayling itself (PO11), we survey in Hayling Island, Emsworth and Havant.

South Hayling gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For South Hayling flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor. We measure tiled areas in South Hayling bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Most of Hampshire has 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

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
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system

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.

Ceramic or porcelain

Ceramic is lighter, easier to cut and cheaper, and is fine on walls. Porcelain is denser and absorbs less water, so it suits floors and showers.

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.

How long does bathroom tiling take?

Is the home survey in South Hayling really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

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.
