Frequently asked questions
What size tiles work best in a small bathroom?
Contrary to popular belief, larger tiles can make a small bathroom appear bigger — they have fewer grout lines creating a more seamless look. 600×300mm or 600×600mm tiles work well in most bathrooms. However, for floors, smaller tiles (mosaic or 200×200mm) are required on shower floors and shower trays as they provide better drainage and anti-slip grip.
Should I supply tiles myself or let the tiler source them?
Most tilers prefer you to source tiles, as taste is personal and the huge range of options makes it difficult to second-guess. Order approximately 10–15% more than the calculated area to allow for cuts and breakages (15–20% for large or natural stone tiles, as more careful selection is required). Keep leftover tiles for future repairs.
What is the best grout to use?
For wet areas (showers and shower trays), use a waterproof epoxy grout — it is impervious to water, stain-resistant and doesn't require sealing. Standard cement-based grout is fine for drier bathroom areas and kitchens. White grout looks great initially but stains easily — a mid-grey or colour-matched grout is more practical and easier to maintain.
Do tiles need to be sealed?
Porcelain and ceramic tiles generally do not need sealing. Natural stone tiles (slate, limestone, travertine, marble) must be sealed before and after grouting to prevent staining and moisture absorption. Unglazed quarry tiles also require sealing. Ask your tiler which sealing products they recommend for your specific tile.
Important
Allow tile adhesive and grout to cure fully before using a tiled wet area — usually 24–48 hours for adhesive and 12–24 hours for grout. Rushing this causes tiles to shift and grout to crack. In wet rooms, ensure the floor and lower walls are properly tanked before any tiling.
