Working in Great Yarmouth

We cover every part of Great Yarmouth, including NR29, NR30 and NR31, and nearby Norwich (18.2 miles) and East Dereham (33.8 miles).

Homes in and around Great Yarmouth vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whatever the age of your Great Yarmouth home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Great Yarmouth bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Most of Norfolk has very 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

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
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system

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.

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.

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 Great Yarmouth: questions

What is the price of bathroom tiling in Great Yarmouth?

Is the home survey in Great Yarmouth 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 NR29 in Great Yarmouth?

Yes. We cover all of Great Yarmouth, including NR29, NR30 and NR31, and nearby Norwich, East Dereham and Thetford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need to tank a bathroom before tiling?

The shower area should always be tanked, because tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own. Around a bath with a shower over it, tanking the walls to above the shower head is sensible. A wet room needs the whole floor and the lower walls tanked.
