Working in Wishaw

We work right across Wishaw — ML2 — and in neighbouring Larkhall and Motherwell.

Homes in and around Wishaw vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Wishaw bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. Tiling quotes in Wishaw list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

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.

What the job includes

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
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
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

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.

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.

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.
