Working in Cumbernauld

In Cumbernauld we cover G67; we also cover Airdrie, 5.6 miles away, and Coatbridge.

In Cumbernauld, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whatever the age of your Cumbernauld home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. We measure tiled areas in Cumbernauld bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Supplies across most of Lanarkshire are 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.

What the job includes

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray

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 Scotland

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.
