And with an endless choice of designs to choose from, you can make the space feel exactly as you want it to, while maintaining its waterproofing and making it hygienic and easy to clean.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But if you\u2019re doing the tiling yourself, you need to do it right. This is because a good job can last for decades if you want it to, while cutting corners will mean you may soon discover cracks in your tiles and patches of mildew. Read on for some top tips on how to make your bathroom tiling a great success.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Choose the best quality tiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re tile shopping, you\u2019ll often walk into your DIY superstore and see boxes of tiles piled high and sold cheap. It seems like a no-brainer compared to some of the pricier tiles a few metres down the aisle. But don\u2019t fill your trolley just yet. Why are they so cheap? Chances are, they\u2019ll be thinner, and are probably ceramic rather than porcelain. That means they\u2019ll be lower quality, more porous and more likely to crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-2-iStock-616006728-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-2-iStock-616006728-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-2-iStock-616006728-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-2-iStock-616006728-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-2-iStock-616006728-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-2-iStock-616006728-1150x767.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-2-iStock-616006728-575x383.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-2-iStock-616006728.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Make sure the wall is clean and smooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You might have scraped all the old tile adhesive off the wall or, if it\u2019s a new job, done a fine plastering job. But if there\u2019s any dust, sediment, dirt or oil left on the surface, that\u2019s what your adhesive will be sticking to \u2013 not the wall itself. Also, if there are any holes or cracks in the wall, the tiles will have nothing to adhere to properly at all. First, fill the holes and cracks with filler. Then, sand down the wall to make it smooth, and wipe it clean with a damp sponge and let it dry out. Only after all this will it be ready to tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Find the middle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One sign of an amateur tiling job is when an area of tiling is not symmetrical. Professional tilers always find the middle of a wall or shower cubicle side, draw a vertical line and tile outwards from it. You\u2019ll probably end up with a cut tile at both ends, but it will be the same on both ends, and such things matter! You can also use a laser level to help keep things centralised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-3-iStock-960148924-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-3-iStock-960148924-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-3-iStock-960148924-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-3-iStock-960148924-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-3-iStock-960148924-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-3-iStock-960148924-1150x767.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-3-iStock-960148924-575x383.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-3-iStock-960148924.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Plan your layout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re eager to get going, it\u2019s tempting to just dive in and start tiling. But doing so means you may end up with problems later down the line, especially if you\u2019re making a more complex layout with a repeating pattern. Work out exactly how many tiles will fit vertically and horizontally (remember the spacing in between), and carefully plan the arrangement before you start. You won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Use spacers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A big bag of X-shaped spacers only costs a few pounds, but they are such a perfect way to ensure equal tile spacing over a whole wall. <em>Don\u2019t <\/em>use matchsticks of guesstimation. If you\u2019re doing an overlapping brickwork arrangement, you can get T-shaped spacers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Use a notched trowel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The notched trowel makes sure you put exactly the right amount of adhesive on the wall, so none of your tiles will stand proud or sunken. The gaps between the lines of adhesive get squeezed out when you press the tile against the wall, so you don\u2019t end up with a cream cake effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-4-iStock-960149006-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-4-iStock-960149006-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-4-iStock-960149006-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-4-iStock-960149006-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-4-iStock-960149006-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-4-iStock-960149006-1150x767.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-4-iStock-960149006-575x383.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-4-iStock-960149006.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Invest in a tile cutter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re doing a big job, it\u2019s probably worth getting a manual tile cutting machine. They can cost anything from \u00a310 to \u00a3100, but they\u2019ll save you hours of scraping with the little hand-held cutters, and you\u2019ll get cleaner, more consistent cuts and fewer wasted tiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Choose the right grout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The grout that fills the spaces between the tiles is vital for creating a waterproof seal between the wall and the shower, bath or splashback tiling. That\u2019s why you need to make sure you choose a grout with good water resistance. Most grouts are indeed water-resistant, but in the bathroom, where it gets humid and damp, mould can be a real problem. Make sure you get a mould-resistant grout. Modern epoxy grouts cost a little more than traditional cement-based ones, but they have natural mould resistance built in. Also make sure you get the right colour \u2013 not all grouts are white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Choose the right sealant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sealant is not the same as grout \u2013 it\u2019s used to seal the edges of tiling, particularly where it meets other materials and surfaces. The best type of sealant to use where tiling meets a bath, shower tray or basin is 100% silicone sealant. It\u2019s usually white, but you can get it in different colours to match your grout. Silicone is waterproof, mould-resistant and flexible, which is essential as there will always be movement between walls and furniture. Experts always half-fill the bath with water so it lowers a little. That way, the sealant won\u2019t stretch too much whenever you have a bath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-5-iStock-962832298-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-5-iStock-962832298-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-5-iStock-962832298-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-5-iStock-962832298-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-5-iStock-962832298-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-5-iStock-962832298-1150x767.jpg 1150w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-5-iStock-962832298-575x383.jpg 575w, https:\/\/www.rightmove.co.uk\/home-improvements\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/88-5-iStock-962832298.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Use new sealant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sealant will go off in the tube after a few weeks of being open, so don\u2019t be tempted to use that tube in the loft that you half-used in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Cut the tip well<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you get a nice clean cut of the sealant nozzle. Sealant guns often come with a cutter in the handle, but they can be quite crude \u2013 you\u2019re better off using a utility knife. Cut a small hole at 30\u201345\u00b0 so it\u2019s easier to apply. If your hole is too small you can cut a bigger one, but if it\u2019s too big you can\u2019t make it smaller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Degrease silicone joints<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you apply silicone to tiles, tubs, trays and basins, degrease your surfaces with a good cleaner. You can get specialist degreasing fluids, but methylated spirit will clean up grease perfectly well. Give it a wipe and any that\u2019s left over will evaporate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Use a profiling tool, not your finger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s received wisdom that when sealing a bath against a tiled wall, you put tape along the wall a few mm from the edges, fill the join with silicone, lick your finger and run it along the length, then peel off the tape for a neat join. But this creates several problems. First, you end up with a concave seal, which means that along the outside edges, the sealant will be microscopically thin, and will peel off and attract moisture. Second, the tape creates tiny 90\u00b0 ledges, which attracts grime, moisture and mould. And third, the bacteria in your saliva can start the deterioration process on day one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A profiling tool is a small, semi-flexible plastic card that has a 45\u00b0 cut-off on one corner. All you do is apply the silicone, then run the tool along the join, and in its wake is a lovely 45\u00b0 triangle of sealant. It\u2019s thick and strong where it matters, and the 45\u00b0 angle means there\u2019s nowhere for water to accumulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these top tips for tiling your bathroom, you\u2019ll be well on your way to a job that both looks and feels professional, and &#8211; most importantly &#8211; that lasts for years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tiles can really make or break a bathroom.
