Bathroom Tiling Only Service in Longton
Specialist wall and floor tiling — including large-format and stone.
Some Longton 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.
If you're weighing up bathroom & wet-zone tiling in Longton, the local detail matters more than the brochure spec.
Bathroom Tiling Only FAQs — Longton
- Do you take tiling-only jobs in Longton?
- 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 Longton, 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 Longton bathroom we tile.
- How long does bathroom tiling take?
- A standard Longton bathroom is 3–5 days for walls and floor, including tanking cure and grout/silicone time.
- Are you fully insured for work in Longton?
- Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Longton comes with a written workmanship guarantee.
- Do you tile over existing tiles in Longton?
- 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.
