Which flooring is best for a Stoke 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 Stoke 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 Stoke 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 Stoke?

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

Do you tile over existing tiles in Stoke?

Only where the substrate is sound — usually we strip back to plaster or board so the new tiles bed properly and we can tank wet zones first.

The bathroom floor takes more water and traffic than any other floor in the house. Whichever finish a Stoke 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.

When Stoke homeowners ask us about bathroom & wet-zone tiling, the first thing we look at is the room itself.

Where {town} bathroom floors fail

Homeowners wanting a durable, waterproof bathroom floor in Stoke hit a recurring set of issues with bathroom flooring installation:

Tile laid directly onto flexing timber floors with no decoupling — flagged regularly on Stoke jobs.

LVT stuck onto self-levelling compound that wasn't primed — flagged regularly on Stoke jobs.

Grout hairline-cracking in year two because the sub-floor was skipped — flagged regularly on Stoke jobs.

Around Stoke this shows up as floors not level, causing lippage between large-format tiles.

In Stoke we regularly find movement joints missing where the floor meets the wall.
