How much does a tiler cost to do a bathroom?

Renovating your bathroom can significantly enhance both its functionality and the value of your home. Below is an overview of the renovation process, highlighting key stages and their associated inclusions.

Work Schedule & Process

1. Preparation & Strip Out

The initial phase involves clearing the existing bathroom:

• Removal of old fixtures, tiles, and flooring
• Stripping old paint to ensure proper adhesion for new tiles
• Strengthening the floor by adding noggins and replacing water damaged sections if needed
• Adjusting plumbing to fit new fixtures

This stage ensures a stable and level base for subsequent work.

2. Electrical Works

Modern bathrooms often feature upgraded lighting and electrical fittings:

• Spotlights – Recessed ceiling lights for bright, even illumination
• Mood lighting – LED strips, wall lights, or dimmable options for a relaxing ambiance
• Shaver sockets – Conveniently placed for electric razors and toothbrushes

All electrical work is carried out by a certified electrician to meet safety regulations.

3. Shower Tray Installation

Proper installation of the shower tray is crucial:

• Positioning and levelling the new tray
• Applying full sealing to prevent water ingress

A well-fitted tray ensures proper drainage and prevents leaks.

4. Wall Preparation & Waterproofing

Essential for preventing water damage:

• Installing XPS boards for a strong, waterproof base
• Fully tanking the shower area to protect against leaks
• Allowing the waterproofing layer to cure before tiling begins

This step safeguards against future water-related issues.

5. Plastering & Wall Repairs

Preparing walls for finishing:

• Skimming – A fresh coat of plaster for a seamless finish
• Repairs – Fixing any damaged or uneven areas before painting or tiling

This ensures walls are in perfect condition for the next stages.

6. Tiling the Shower Area

Precision tiling for a high-end look:

• Carefully setting out and aligning tiles
• Cutting and drilling porcelain tiles for shower valves, riser rails, and enclosure fixings
• Allowing adhesive to fully cure before grouting

This step ensures a seamless, high-quality finish.

7. Tiling the Rest of the Bathroom

Completing the tiling:

• Installation of the tiles, including a window reveal
• Cutting and mitring trims for a clean, professional finish
• Ensuring perfect alignment for a polished final look

This provides a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

8. Grouting & Tile Polishing

Finalising the tiling:

• Applying grout to all tiled areas, ensuring an even finish
• Cleaning and polishing tiles to remove any excess grout residue

This step enhances the durability and appearance of the tiles.

9. Floor Preparation & Karndean Installation

Preparing and installing the floor:

• Installing plywood for a stable, level surface
• Fitting Karndean flooring with precision cutting for clean edges

Karndean offers durability and water resistance with a warmer feel underfoot.

10. Painting & Decorating

Adding the finishing touches:

• Ceiling & walls painted with moisture-resistant paint
• Touch-ups to ensure a flawless, modern finish

This step adds elegance and completes the transformation.

11. Fitting Shower Enclosure, Toilet & Sink

Installing new fixtures:

• Fitting the new shower enclosure, ensuring perfect alignment and watertight seals
• Installing the toilet and sink, connecting all plumbing for a leak-free finish

This ensures functionality and a polished look.

12. Final Sealing & Finishing Touches

Completing the renovation:

• High-quality silicone sealing applied throughout the bathroom
• Final quality check before handover

This step ensures a professional finish and long-term durability.
