Washington Village

A full bathroom re-fit, supply and fit

Everything in the room, done by us:

  • Removal of old existing tiles and wall and floor coverings
  • Removal of the existing bathroom suite, shower and radiator
  • Plastering services, re-boarding and skimming
  • New bath, toilet, sink, shower and chrome towel radiator
  • Supply and fit of all wall and floor tiling, grouting and polishing
  • New ceiling covering and electrics
  • Removal and transport of the old suite and rubble

Kitchens: get the hob right

When fitting tiles around the hob area you must pay attention to the layout. This in most cases is the main focal point in the kitchen and particular attention should be paid here. If you have a full tile to the left of the hob you should have the same on the right side.

So we identify the centre of the wall area and start fixing the tiles from that position. Starting from either the left or right side most often creates an unbalanced layout.

On brick-pattern walls a grey grout softens the grout line on the eye, where white would make it stand out. We also recommend a grout sealer above the hob, so fat and oil can't stain the joints.

“I came across Adrian by complete chance after searching for a tiler for months. I'm glad I did and won't go anywhere else for my tiling now. Adrian fitted both our downstairs tiles (30m2) and upstairs bathroom tiles (6m3). I'm extremely pleased with the quality of the work and Adrian's enthusiasm to always go the extra mile, keeping me informed of all the different stages of the process. Prices are extremely reasonable and he's an all round top bloke to have in your house all week! Can't recommend highly enough”

“On time, very polite and knowledgable on time and got on working. Adrian tiled my porch floor and did a grand job. I would recommend him to any of my friends. Picture is before grouting and skirting boards installed as rain stopped the work. Will upload the completed job asap”

“Adrian & Steve retiled our bathroom following a previously poor job by a different company, we are delighted with the service we received and the final finish of the bathroom.

They were professional and helpful from start to finish. Taking time beforehand to explain what they would be doing and giving advice on choosing tiles. They provided solutions to my problems and shared ideas. They put up with me changing my mind and delivered exactly what we wanted. They worked really hard getting it completed when unexpected problems set them back.

They have totally restored our faith in tradesmen and would recommend.”
