Which flooring is best for a Hanley family bathroom?

Porcelain for durability and re-sale value; LVT for warmth underfoot and quieter feel; micro-cement for a seamless modern look. All work in Hanley bathrooms — we bring samples to the survey.

Can flooring go over the existing floor?

Sometimes for LVT if the existing is sound and flat, never for stone or heavy porcelain. We survey and photograph condition before quoting.

Do you use a decoupling membrane?

On every suspended timber floor in a Hanley bathroom — decoupling isolates tile from timber movement and stops grout cracking. Included, not upsold.

How long does bathroom flooring take?

1–2 days for LVT, 2–3 days for tile with membrane, 3–5 days for micro-cement including cure time. Fixed schedule after survey.

Are you fully insured for work in Hanley?

Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Hanley comes with a written workmanship guarantee.

Do you tidy up at the end of each day?

Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Hanley home liveable while the work runs.

The bathroom floor takes more water and traffic than any other floor in the house. Whichever finish a Hanley client picks — LVT, porcelain, natural stone, micro-cement — the substrate underneath does the real work.

We isolate timber floors with a decoupling membrane, self-level any dips over 3mm, and ensure the tile or plank is bedded on the right adhesive for the movement it'll see. No lifted corners in year two.

Most of our bathroom & wet-zone tiling jobs in Hanley begin with a slow walk round the house, not a quote on the doorstep.

Worth checking in your Hanley bathroom: movement joints missing where the floor meets the wall.

Existing tiles drummy and lifting from a failed bed. We see it often enough in Hanley to plan for it.
