Working in Bridgend

We cover every part of Bridgend, including CF31 and CF35, and nearby Porthcawl (5.7 miles) and Llantwit Major (7.6 miles).

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

Most of Mid Glamorgan 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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
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

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.

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 Wales

In Wales, tiling is not controlled work. Moving electrical points to suit a new tile layout falls under the Welsh Part P, which covers more bathroom electrical work than the English version.
