Working in Broadstairs

As well as Broadstairs itself (CT10), we survey in Ramsgate, Margate and Deal.

Broadstairs gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Broadstairs bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. We measure tiled areas in Broadstairs bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Most of Kent 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

Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
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.

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.

What tiles are best for a bathroom floor?

Porcelain is usually the most practical bathroom floor tile, because it absorbs very little water and wears well. Choose a matt or textured finish with a slip rating of R10 or above. Our bathroom tiles guide covers sizes and finishes in more detail.
