Working in Maesteg

As well as Maesteg itself (CF34), we survey in Briton Ferry, Neath and Bridgend.

Maesteg gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whatever the age of your Maesteg home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. For Maesteg flats, we check the lease and the floor build-up before laying hard tiles on a timber floor.

Water across much of Mid Glamorgan is soft. 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

Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges

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.

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 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.

Bathroom tiling in Maesteg: questions

What is the price of bathroom tiling in Maesteg?

Bathroom tiling in Maesteg usually costs £40–£85 per m² including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

How long does bathroom tiling take?

Is the home survey in Maesteg really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CF34 in Maesteg?

Yes. We cover all of Maesteg, including CF34, and nearby Briton Ferry, Neath and Bridgend. 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.
