Working in Godalming

We cover every part of Godalming, including GU7, and nearby Guildford (3.8 miles) and Haslemere (7.7 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Godalming: free survey, written quote, one team. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Godalming bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. If your Godalming home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.

Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. 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
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
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles

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.

Tile size

Large-format tiles mean fewer grout lines but need flat walls and more preparation. Small tiles and mosaics follow uneven surfaces and grip better underfoot.

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 Godalming: questions

Is the water hard in Godalming?

Who handles building control for bathroom tiling in Godalming?

Building control for Godalming is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Should bathroom tiles go floor to ceiling?

Full-height tiling is easier to wipe clean and looks finished, but it adds area and cost. Tiling just the wet areas and using bathroom paint elsewhere is a reasonable way to save money in a well-ventilated room.
