Thorne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Whatever the age of your Thorne home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. We measure tiled areas in Thorne 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
- Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
- 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
Decisions to make first
Edges
Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.
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.
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.
