Getting the right look in your bathroom can add value to your home. When buying a house no one wants, to have to redo the bathroom. Whether it is part of a whole bathroom refit or just a refresh of the room, tiling can be big, but a worthwhile job. The cost of tiling a bathroom varies a lot. The main factors are the area you want tiling, the type of tiles you choose, and who you hire to do the job. The average cost to fully tile a bathroom is between £500 and £800. This includes the cost of the materials (tiles, grout, and adhesive) as well as the cost of labour. The most important feature of any bathroom is water-resistance. You need to make sure that any area that might have water spilt is properly water resistant. This means you need to be aware of if your tiles need to be sealed, and if they need resealing over time.

There are several factors that will affect the total cost of tiling your bathroom. The first is the area that you choose to tile. The most expensive option is to tile the whole room; tiling the floors and the walls top to bottom. The cheapest option is to just tile above the sink. The next consideration is the material that the tiles are made from. There is a big difference between the cost of vinyl tiles and natural stone tiles. The size and shape of the room will have a large impact on the cost of not only materials but also labour. The more the tiles have to be cut, the more difficult and thus, expensive the job. Because there are so many factors that affect the price, you will have a lot of decisions to make. When making your decision remember that the bulk of the cost comes from the labour, as tiling can be a fiddly job to get right.

Tiling floors can increase the value of your home, especially if they are used in the right rooms such as the bathroom or kitchen. Tiled floors are more durable and luxurious than carpets, and they are easier to clean up if you spill anything on them. Tiled floors have the disadvantage of being cold, especially if they are not paired with underfloor heating. They can also be slippery when wet. Tiles may not be the best option if you have a large space. This is especially true if your children love to run and could slip on them.

Whilst work is being done turning your bathroom into a wet room, you will need a place to shower, go to the toilet and do everything else you normally do in the bathroom. It’s a good idea to understand and plan for all sorts of issues as you prepare for a week or two of work. The installation of a wet room can take anywhere from 4 days to two weeks – this again depends on the size of the wetroom and the additional features you wish to implement.

It is important to think about the purpose of your bathroom design. Spotlights are a great way to give your bathroom a stylish, functional look. You can place them in certain areas to provide light around your shower or mirror. There are many options available for those who want something unique. For any type of wet area, underfloor heating is an excellent choice. Underfloor heating can be a great option if space is limited. You can extend your existing radiators to add an underfloor heating circuit. You can also install heated towel rails or additional radiators if you have a larger wet area.

Having tiled floors in your home can have a big impact on the atmosphere and quality of your living space. However, it can also make a significant financial difference to your finances. There are many tile options available. Some are cheaper than others. Others are more expensive and may be suitable for a specific feature, such as a fireplace. However, they will not cover the entire room. It all depends on your budget. Your choice of pattern design will determine the price you pay. The more complicated the pattern is, the more skill and time required by your tile fitter. This will result in higher fitting costs. Straight-edged tiles tend to be more expensive than those with curved edges or bevelled edges. Simple tiles can still be used to create beautiful patterns, so don’t feel like you’re missing out on something if they aren’t the most complicated. Your floor tile price will be affected by the size of your room. This applies to both materials and labour costs. The more space you have, the longer it will take to lay and prepare the tiles. You'll also need more product to fill it.

Install cement board or an equivalent moisture-resistant backing material on walls behind tub and shower enclosures composed of tile or panel assemblies with caulked joints. Don't use paper-faced backer board, i.e., paper-faced drywall, behind seamed tub and shower enclosures.
 

Whilst you can tile either one first, popular opinion based on experience is that is is easier to tile the walls first and then the floor, if you are tiling both in a room. This ensures that you keep the floor tiles cleaner as you won't be doing so much work around them once they are installed.
 

Any size bathroom can be converted into a wet room, but if your bathroom is on the smaller side, you need to think about protecting your toilet paper, toiletries and towel from getting sprayed.
 

It's always advisable to start tiling your grid in the centre of the wall, as it's easier to make sure your pattern is symmetrical. It also means any half-tiles you may need can go at the end of each row and will be of matching size.
