Homes in and around Kirkby in Ashfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything.

If you want a tiled shower floor in your Kirkby in Ashfield bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.
Most of Nottinghamshire has 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
- Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
- 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
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.
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 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.
