Which towns do we cover in Lanarkshire?

Water across much of Lanarkshire 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. If your East Kilbride home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.

What the job includes

Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

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.

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.

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 Scotland

Re-tiling a bathroom does not need planning permission or building regulations approval. In a flat, check your title deeds and any deed of conditions before changing to hard floor tiles, because sound insulation and the risk of leaks to the flat below matter, and wet rooms often need agreement from the other owners or the factor. In a listed building, removing original tiles that contribute to its character can need listed building consent.

In Scotland, re-tiling does not need a building warrant. Forming a new bathroom or altering drainage for a tiled shower floor may, so check before the floor is opened.
