Working in Neath

We cover every part of Neath, including SA7, SA10 and SA11, and nearby Briton Ferry (2.3 miles) and Clydach (4.3 miles).

Homes in and around Neath vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whatever the age of your Neath home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. We measure tiled areas in Neath bathrooms on site, so the quote is based on real square metres.

Supplies across most of West Glamorgan are soft. 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

Setting out so cuts are even and joints line up with niches, windows and edges
Grouting, trims or mitred edges, and silicone at internal corners, the bath and the tray
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed

Decisions to make first

Grout

Cement-based grout is standard. Epoxy grout resists stains and mould better and suits showers, but takes longer to apply and costs more.

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Neath 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 SA7 in Neath?

Yes. We cover all of Neath, including SA7, SA10 and SA11, and nearby Briton Ferry, Clydach and Swansea. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do I need to tank a bathroom before tiling?

The shower area should always be tanked, because tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own. Around a bath with a shower over it, tanking the walls to above the shower head is sensible. A wet room needs the whole floor and the lower walls tanked.
