Across a large town like Burton upon Trent, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Burton upon Trent bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. We measure tiled areas in Burton upon Trent bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.
Water across much of Staffordshire is moderately hard. 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
- 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
- Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
- Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
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.
