Working in Lytham St Annes

In Lytham St Annes we cover FY4 and FY8; we also cover Blackpool, 5.6 miles away, and Poulton-le-Fylde.

In Lytham St Annes, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Lytham St Annes bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. For Lytham St Annes flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

Water across much of Lancashire 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

Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover

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 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.

Can you tile over existing bathroom tiles?

Sometimes, but it is rarely the right choice. Tiling over tiles adds weight, brings the wall forward so trims and fittings no longer line up, and hides any loose tiles or water damage underneath. It is only worth considering where the old tiles are firmly bonded and the wall can take the extra load.
