Why you should get a tiler to tile your bath or shower room

To achieve your dream bath or shower room, it’s not just about the suite and the latest chrome fittings. Everything needs to be perfect, including the tiling. That’s why it’s important to get an expert tiler in, so your walls are smooth, the tiles are level and they don’t become loose over time. Bathroom tiles take a lot of wear and tear, especially those that are regularly subjected to hot running water.

An experienced tiler knows the importance of preparing the walls, which is vital when you’re tiling over a variety of surfaces. A smooth, level base allows the tiles to stick evenly – any lumps and bumps underneath can lead to wobbles in the future. Your tiler will know the right adhesive to use for your room. And they’ll have their own specialist tools, including professional tile cutters for doing difficult shapes and corners. Tiles can be expensive, and an expert tiler will keep breakages to a minimum, which could save you quite a bit of money. They’ll also be able to calculate just how many tiles you need, so you don’t over-order. Just remember to keep a few spares in case you crack one sometime later. They may be difficult to replace a few years down the line.
