Working in Coalville

In Coalville we cover LE67; we also cover Loughborough, 7.7 miles away, and Swadlincote.

Homes in and around Coalville vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whatever the age of your Coalville home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. Tiling quotes in Coalville list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Most of Leicestershire has hard water. Hard water leaves white marks on dark grout and gloss tiles, so matt finishes and stain-resistant grout are the practical choice. 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
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles

Decisions to make first

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

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.

Is the water hard in Coalville?

Should bathroom tiles go floor to ceiling?

Full-height tiling is easier to wipe clean and looks finished, but it adds area and cost. Tiling just the wet areas and using bathroom paint elsewhere is a reasonable way to save money in a well-ventilated room.
