Bathroom Tiling

A fully tiled bathroom is hygienic, durable and easy to maintain. Professional bathroom tiling covers the floor, all walls (full height or to dado level), bath panels, shower enclosures and any feature walls. Getting the layout right from the start — starting in the correct corner, accounting for the dominant sightlines and minimising awkward cuts — is essential for a quality result.

In bathrooms, waterproofing the wet areas before tiling is not optional. Moisture that gets behind tiles causes mould, structural damage and eventual tile failure. A professional tiler will tank the shower area, use the correct flexible adhesive and grout, and seal all internal corners with silicone rather than grout to allow for the slight movement that all buildings experience.

What’s involved

  • ✓ Strip out of existing tiles if required
  • ✓ Tile backer board or tanking membrane installation
  • ✓ Floor and wall layout planning
  • ✓ Tile fixing: floor first, then walls
  • ✓ Cutting around sanitary ware and fixtures
  • ✓ Grouting, sealing and silicone all internal corners

Typical costs

£800–£2,500+ for a full bathroom tile job depending on room size, tile choice and the extent of tiling. Full floor and wall tiling in a typical family bathroom costs £1,200–£2,000 supply and fitted.

FAQs — Bathroom Tiling

Should I tile the floor or walls first in a bathroom?
Walls first, floor last is the most common professional approach as it allows wall tiles to be cut neatly to the floor level. Some tilers prefer floor first — the important thing is that the approach is planned correctly from the start. Your tiler will advise.
What tiles are best for a bathroom floor?
Choose a tile with a slip resistance rating of at least R10 for a bathroom floor. Matt porcelain is popular and practical. Avoid polished or highly glazed tiles on floors — they become extremely slippery when wet.
Do I need to remove existing bathroom tiles before retiling?
In most cases, yes. Tiling over old tiles risks adhesion failure and raises the floor level, which can cause issues with sanitary ware, doors and thresholds. It also prevents you from addressing any damp or waterproofing issues underneath.
How long does bathroom tiling take?
A typical family bathroom takes 2–4 days including preparation, tiling and grouting. En-suites take 1–2 days. Allow additional time for drying between stages.
How much does bathroom tiling cost?
A full family bathroom (floor and all walls) typically costs £1,200–£2,000 supply and fitted with standard tiles. Get 3 quotes from local tilers to compare prices for your specific bathroom.
