Tilers in GU5: Homeowners vs Renters

Homeowners:

If you own the place, the responsibility for repairs or renovations usually falls to you. That includes everything from loose floor tiles to a full bathroom retile. If you're hiring someone for major changes, especially in a leasehold property, check your deeds or lease first, as some work may need freeholder approval or building control sign-off.

Renters:

Spotted cracked tiles or water getting through the grout? Flag it to your landlord or letting agent. They're generally responsible for repairs unless you’ve caused the damage yourself. It’s not a good idea to try to sort it solo, as if you hire a tradesperson directly, you might end up footing the bill. If your landlord’s dragging their heels, you can report issues to your local council’s housing team.

Tiles or panels — which is better for bathrooms?

Tiles are a classic choice that offer durability and a wide range of designs. Meanwhile, panels can be quicker to install and easier to clean.

Deciding whether tiles or panels are better for your bathrooms really depends on your style, budget, and how much maintenance you’re happy with.

How long does tiling take?

Here's some typical tiling timeframes to help you plan:

• Small bathroom: 2 - 3 days
• Large floor area: 4 - 6 days

That said, every project is different, so speak to your tiler about timeframes in advance so you can plan ahead.

Top tip: Don't forget you'll need to allow time for the tile adhesive to cure, too, before grouting can be applied and your tile job is finished. This could take between 24-48 hours.
