Working in Liverpool

We work right across Liverpool — L1, L2, L3 and 15 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Birkenhead and Wallasey.

Liverpool is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We measure tiled areas in Liverpool bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. Tiling quotes in Liverpool list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Most of Merseyside is supplied with soft water. 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

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover

Decisions to make first

Grout

Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.

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.

Bathroom tiling in Liverpool: questions

How much does bathroom tiling cost in Liverpool?

Is the water hard in Liverpool?

Who handles building control for bathroom tiling in Liverpool?

Building control for Liverpool is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

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.
