Working in Chichester

In Chichester we cover PO19; we also cover Bognor Regis, 5.8 miles away, and Emsworth.

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

Most of West Sussex has hard water. 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

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

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.

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.

Is the home survey in Chichester really free?

Do you cover PO19 in Chichester?

Yes. We cover all of Chichester, including PO19, and nearby Bognor Regis, Emsworth and Hayling Island. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you tile over existing bathroom tiles?

Sometimes, but it is rarely the right choice. Tiling over tiles adds weight, brings the wall forward so trims and fittings no longer line up, and hides any loose tiles or water damage underneath. It is only worth considering where the old tiles are firmly bonded and the wall can take the extra load.
