Working in Leatherhead

We cover every part of Leatherhead, including KT21 and KT22, and nearby Epsom (3.6 miles) and Cobham (4.1 miles).

In Leatherhead, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We measure tiled areas in Leatherhead bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. Whatever the age of your Leatherhead 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

Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
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

Edges

Metal or PVC trims are quick and protect tile edges. Mitred edges look cleaner on porcelain and take more labour.

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.

Is the home survey in Leatherhead really free?

Do you cover KT21 and KT22 in Leatherhead?

Yes. We cover all of Leatherhead, including KT21 and KT22, and nearby Epsom, Cobham and Dorking. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you tile over existing bathroom tiles?

Sometimes, but it is rarely the right choice. Tiling over tiles adds weight, brings the wall forward so trims and fittings no longer line up, and hides any loose tiles or water damage underneath. It is only worth considering where the old tiles are firmly bonded and the wall can take the extra load.
