The service
Tiling is where a bathroom's finish is judged
Tiles are the first thing anyone notices in a bathroom. Uneven grout lines, lipped edges and cracked floor tiles spoil even an expensive suite, and they almost always come down to rushed preparation.
John's team tiles walls and floors as part of full refits, renovations and shower installs. Customers describe the finish as meticulous, with careful attention to cuts around fittings, corners and edges.
Floors are checked for movement before tiling, one customer's creaky floor was cured as part of their refit, so tiles and grout don't crack later.

Bathroom Tiling projects by John
What happens if you wait
What poor tiling costs you later
Tiling problems rarely stay cosmetic. Cracks and gaps let water through to the structure underneath.
Cracked floor tiles
Tiles laid on a flexing floor crack along the movement, letting water into the subfloor.
Loose wall tiles
Tiles on damp or unsuitable boards lose their grip, sound hollow and eventually fall.
Failing grout
Thin or poorly mixed grout washes out, staining and allowing water behind tiles.
Common mistakes homeowners make
- Tiling over old tiles without checking they're sound
- Ignoring a creaky or springy floor
- Choosing tiles before planning where cuts will fall
- Skipping waterproofing in shower areas
- Using the wrong adhesive for large or heavy tiles

In detail
Tiles, materials and methods
Different tiles and rooms need different approaches. Here's what affects the result.
Porcelain and ceramic tiles
Porcelain is dense and hard-wearing, ideal for floors and showers. Ceramic is lighter and easier to cut, commonly used for walls.
Large-format tiles
Large tiles mean fewer grout lines and a calmer look, but they need very flat surfaces and the right adhesive to avoid lipping.
Mosaic and small tiles
Small tiles follow the slope of shower floors and add detail to niches and feature walls.
Floor preparation
Timber floors may need extra fixing or overboarding to stop movement. This is what keeps floor tiles and grout intact.
Waterproofing shower areas
Wet areas benefit from waterproofing before tiling, so that if grout ever wears, water still can't reach the wall behind.
Full height or half height
Tiling to full height looks seamless; half-height tiling with painted walls above can balance cost and style.
