Bathroom Tiling FAQs

Can you tile over existing tiles?

Sometimes, if the existing tiles are sound, flat, and firmly adhered. But in wet areas of Gloucestershire bathrooms, we usually recommend removing them to check for damp and apply proper waterproofing.

How do you handle large-format tiles?

Large tiles need a perfectly flat substrate, any undulation and they'll rock. We use self-levelling compound on floors and render or backer board on walls. Precision cuts with a wet cutter, not angle grinder.

What preparation do tiled floors need?

A tiled bathroom floor needs a stable, level substrate before any adhesive goes down. In Gloucestershire homes we check for movement, damp and out-of-level boards first so the finished tile does not crack.
