Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Mountsorrel: free survey, written quote, one team. Tiling quotes in Mountsorrel list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. Whatever the age of your Mountsorrel home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
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
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

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.

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.

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.
