Bathroom Tiling Only Service in Burslem
Specialist wall and floor tiling — including large-format and stone.
Some Burslem jobs only need a tiler — a homeowner who's doing the rest, a builder running a refurb, or a landlord refreshing a tired suite. We take tiling-only work and price it as a separate trade.
We don't subsidise tiling-only quotes against full-suite installs. The quote is the quote.
Most of our bathroom & wet-zone tiling jobs in Burslem begin with a slow walk round the house, not a quote on the doorstep.
About Burslem
Locally, Burslem is part of Stoke-on-Trent City Council's area within Staffordshire, covering postcodes ST6. Burslem — the Mother Town — is rows of late-Victorian terraces around former bottle kilns, with some converted pottery flats and pockets of post-war semis at Middleport. Quick to reach off A500 and A50 — useful when we're surveying several jobs in a morning.
Common bathroom tiling only issues in Burslem homes
Homeowners and trades who only need the tiling in Burslem hit a recurring set of issues with bathroom tiling only:
Plasterboard substrate left as-is under shower zones — fails within a year — flagged regularly on Burslem jobs.
No movement joints in long floor runs — grout cracks within months — flagged regularly on Burslem jobs.
Mitred edges done with bullnose rather than a mitre saw — looks cheap — flagged regularly on Burslem jobs.
Around Burslem this shows up as floors not level, causing lippage between large-format tiles.
In Burslem we regularly find coloured grout staining stone or rough porcelain.

Bathroom Tiling Only FAQs — Burslem
- Do you take tiling-only jobs in Burslem?
- Yes — for homeowners, builders and landlords. We quote per square metre with a separate prep allowance for substrate work where needed.
- Do you supply the tiles or just fit?
- Either. We can supply at trade rates from local merchants in Burslem, or fit a client-supplied range with no markup difference.
- What about tanking before tiling?
- Always included in shower zones — liquid membrane on walls, floor lip and tray upstand. Non-negotiable on every Burslem bathroom we tile.
- How long does bathroom tiling take?
- A standard Burslem bathroom is 3–5 days for walls and floor, including tanking cure and grout/silicone time.
- Do you tile over existing tiles in Burslem?
- 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.
- Can you do large-format porcelain in a small Burslem bathroom?
- Yes — 600x600 and 1200x600 porcelain work well in Burslem bathrooms when the walls are skimmed flat and set out properly, making the room feel bigger.
