Working in Haslemere

In Haslemere we cover GU26 and GU27; we also cover Bordon, 6.9 miles away, and Godalming.

Haslemere gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Tiling quotes in Haslemere list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like. Whatever the age of your Haslemere home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take.

Water across much of Surrey is 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
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges

Decisions to make first

Natural stone

Marble, limestone and travertine need sealing and gentle cleaners, and can mark. Stone-effect porcelain gives a similar look without the upkeep.

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.

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.

Do bathroom tiles need sealing?

Glazed ceramic and porcelain tiles do not need sealing, but natural stone such as marble, limestone and travertine does, and some unglazed porcelain benefits from it. Cement-based grout can be sealed to slow staining; epoxy grout does not need it.
