Working in Bognor Regis

We work right across Bognor Regis — PO21 and PO22 — and in neighbouring Chichester and Littlehampton.

In Bognor Regis, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you want a tiled shower floor in your Bognor Regis bathroom, the tanking and drainage are planned before the tile is chosen. If your Bognor Regis home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.

Supplies across most of West Sussex are 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

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
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
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.

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 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.
