Working in Nuneaton

As well as Nuneaton itself (CV10 and CV11), we survey in Bedworth, Hinckley and Earl Shilton.

Nuneaton has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Whatever the age of your Nuneaton home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Nuneaton bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

Water across much of Warwickshire 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
Sealing natural stone and cleaning off grout haze before handover
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Bathroom tiling in Nuneaton: questions

How much does bathroom tiling cost in Nuneaton?

Is the water hard in Nuneaton?

Who handles building control for bathroom tiling in Nuneaton?

Building control for Nuneaton 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.

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.
