Working in Faversham

In Faversham we cover ME13; we also cover Whitstable, 6.7 miles away, and Sittingbourne.

Faversham 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 Faversham bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. Whatever the age of your Faversham home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Water across much of Kent 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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

Decisions to make first

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.

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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.

Bathroom tiling in Faversham: questions

How much does bathroom tiling cost in Faversham?

Is the home survey in Faversham 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.

Do you cover ME13 in Faversham?

Yes. We cover all of Faversham, including ME13, and nearby Whitstable, Sittingbourne and Canterbury. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Should bathroom tiles go floor to ceiling?

Full-height tiling is easier to wipe clean and looks finished, but it adds area and cost. Tiling just the wet areas and using bathroom paint elsewhere is a reasonable way to save money in a well-ventilated room.
