Working in Littlehampton

We cover every part of Littlehampton, including BN17, and nearby Bognor Regis (6.4 miles) and Worthing (7.2 miles).

Homes in and around Littlehampton vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whatever the age of your Littlehampton home, large-format tiles need flat walls, so the survey checks how much preparation they will take. If your Littlehampton home has hard water, larger tiles and epoxy grout leave fewer joints for limescale to build up in.

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

Tanking the shower area and the walls around the bath with a waterproof membrane or liquid system
Checking walls for flatness and strength, and boarding with cement-based backer board where needed
Measuring wall and floor areas and working out quantities with an allowance for cuts
Floor preparation: overlaying timber floors with ply or backer board, or levelling a screed

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.

Is the water hard in Littlehampton?

Should bathroom tiles go floor to ceiling?

Full-height tiling is easier to wipe clean and looks finished, but it adds area and cost. Tiling just the wet areas and using bathroom paint elsewhere is a reasonable way to save money in a well-ventilated room.
