Bathroom tiling — Tiler
Provide the bathroom layout, surfaces to be tiled and information about showers, baths and drainage. Explain who supplies waterproofing and prepares the base. Ask for a coordinated scope so gaps between the plumber, waterproofing installer and tiler are not left unresolved.
Service scope
Tiling of bathroom walls or floors as part of a coordinated wet-area finish. Waterproofing, drainage junctions, movement joints and fixture interfaces are specified separately within the assembly; tiles and grout alone are not assumed to provide the complete water barrier.
What is normally included
- Specified bathroom wall and floor tiling
- Coordination with wet-area waterproofing
- Agreed fixture, drain and movement details
What is not included
- Assuming tiles alone waterproof a shower
- Moving plumbing or changing drainage without a defined scope
Typical tasks
- Review bathroom and wet-area layouts
- Confirm background and waterproofing readiness
- Agree cuts and drain interfaces
- Install the specified tiles
- Finish joints and hand over the tiled areas
What to include in your brief
- Bathroom plan and dimensions
- Tile sizes and materials
- Waterproofing system or responsible trade
- Drain and fixture details
- Other-trade programme and access
Choosing the right professional
Choose a tiler who explains the whole interface, not only the visible tile finish. Confirm waterproofing responsibility, substrate preparation, joints and drain details, and agree which inspections must occur before surfaces are covered.
Important considerations
- Unresolved waterproofing interfaces can allow concealed damage
- Rigid joints in movement locations may not accommodate normal changes
