Working in Coventry

As well as Coventry itself (CV1, CV2, CV3 and 3 more postcode districts), we survey in Kenilworth, Bedworth and Nuneaton.

In a city the size of Coventry, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If your Coventry home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Coventry bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen.

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
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
Fixing with an adhesive suited to the tile and the surface, with levelling clips for large tiles

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.
