Gorseinon gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We measure tiled areas in Gorseinon bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres. Tiling quotes in Gorseinon list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Most of West Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. Soft water is kind to grout, so mid-tone and darker grouts stay looking fresh. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
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.

Edges

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

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, tiling is not controlled work. Moving electrical points to suit a new tile layout falls under the Welsh Part P, which covers more bathroom electrical work than the English version.

More about bathroom tiling

Bathroom tiling in Gorseinon: questions

What is the price of bathroom tiling in Gorseinon?

Bathroom tiling in Gorseinon usually costs £40–£85 per m² including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Gorseinon really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover SA4 in Gorseinon?

Yes. We cover all of Gorseinon, including SA4, and nearby Llanelli, Swansea and Clydach. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Gorseinon?

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.
