Working in Spalding

In Spalding we cover PE11; we also cover Boston, 14.1 miles away, and Peterborough.

In Spalding, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We measure tiled areas in Spalding bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. Whatever the age of your Spalding home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Most of Lincolnshire 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
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system

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.

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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.

Do you cover PE11 in Spalding?

Yes. We cover all of Spalding, including PE11, and nearby Boston, Peterborough and Wisbech. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

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.
