We cover every part of Bloxwich, including WS2, WS3 and WV12, and nearby Walsall (2.4 miles) and Great Wyrley (3.1 miles).

In Bloxwich, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Whatever the age of your Bloxwich home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. Tiling quotes in Bloxwich list the tile, the area and the preparation separately, so you can compare like for like.

Supplies across the West Midlands range from soft to hard depending on the source. Mid-tone grout and matt tiles hide the odd water mark better than dark grout and high gloss. 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

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.

Natural stone

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

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 water hard in Bloxwich?

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.
