What the job includes
- Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
- Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
- Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
- 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.
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 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.
