Working in Rhondda

We cover every part of Rhondda, including CF40, CF41 and CF43, and nearby Tonypandy (2.6 miles) and Aberdare (3.8 miles).

In Rhondda, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Rhondda home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Rhondda bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan are 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
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
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

Decisions to make first

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.

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

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.

Who handles building control for bathroom tiling in Rhondda?

Building control for Rhondda 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.
