Working in Rotherham

In Rotherham we cover S60, S61, S64 and 1 more postcode districts; we also cover Rawmarsh, 2.2 miles away, and Wath upon Dearne.

Across a large town like Rotherham, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Whatever the age of your Rotherham home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. We measure tiled areas in Rotherham bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Most of South Yorkshire has moderately hard water. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
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

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.

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.

Bathroom tiling in Rotherham: questions

Is the home survey in Rotherham 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 S60 in Rotherham?

Yes. We cover all of Rotherham, including S60, S61, S64 and S65, and nearby Rawmarsh, Wath upon Dearne and Mexborough. 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.
