Overview

Tiling that looks right — and stays that way

Tiling is one of those jobs where the difference between average and excellent is obvious the moment you walk into a room. Joints that wander, cuts that end in thin slivers at a doorway, or tiles that sit proud of their neighbours all catch the eye — and once the adhesive has set, they’re there to stay.

Ceramic Solutions UK approaches every surface the same way: plan the layout first, prepare the walls and floors properly, then set each tile with care. Whether it’s porcelain or ceramic, a classic metro tile or a large-format slab, the aim is a finish that’s straight, level and consistent from one edge of the room to the other — work Steve has been refining for over 30 years.

Tiling is also at the heart of every complete bathroom installation and kitchen installation Ceramic Solutions UK carries out, so if your tiling is part of a bigger project, the whole room can be planned together from the start.

What we offer

Our wall and floor tiling services

Every job is different, but these are the surfaces and finishes Ceramic Solutions UK tiles most often.

01

Wall tiling

Bathrooms, kitchens, utility rooms and feature walls, with neat cuts around windows, sockets, pipes and fittings.

02

Floor tiling

Kitchens, hallways, bathrooms and living spaces, laid flat and level with joint lines planned to run cleanly through the room.

03

Bathroom tiling

Shower areas, bath surrounds, niches and full-height walls, finished with tidy edges, trims and silicone lines.

04

Kitchen tiling

Splashbacks and kitchen floors set out around units, worktops, sockets and the hob.

05

Porcelain and ceramic tiling

The right adhesive, spacing and cutting approach for each material, so tiles go down cleanly and stay put.

06

Large-format tiles

Big porcelain tiles need flat surfaces, careful handling and accurate setting out. Done well, they give a calm, almost seamless finish.

07

Feature walls and splashbacks

Herringbone, hexagon, metro and statement tiles that give a room its focal point.

08

Patterned and geometric floors

Diagonal, chequerboard and border designs that depend on accurate setting out from the very first tile.

Why choose us

Why choose Ceramic Solutions UK for your tiling

Good tiling is mostly invisible: you notice the room, not the joints. These are the things that make that happen.

Layouts planned first

Cuts are balanced, patterns are centred and joint lines run true across the whole surface — decided before the first tile goes down.

Proper preparation

Walls and floors are checked and prepared, because even the best tiles can’t hide an uneven base.

Clean, consistent joints

Even spacing and straight grout lines, whatever the size, shape or pattern of the tile.

Neat finishing details

Edges, trims, transitions and silicone lines finished properly — they’re where the eye goes first.

Honest advice on tiles

Not sure what will work? Steve can talk you through sizes, finishes and layouts that suit your room before you buy.

Over 30 years’ experience

Steve brings more than three decades of experience to every job, from a simple splashback to a complex patterned floor.

How it works

How a tiling project works

A straightforward process, with the important decisions made before any tiles are fixed.

  1. 01

    Tell us about the space

    Send a few details or photos of the room, the area to be tiled and the tiles you have in mind.

  2. 02

    Agree the layout and tiles

    Talk through tile sizes, patterns, where the layout should start and anything that needs preparing first.

  3. 03

    Prepare the surfaces

    Walls and floors are made ready so the new tiles sit flat, level and secure.

  4. 04

    Set out and tile

    Tiles are laid from the planned layout, cut neatly around every obstacle and fixed with consistent joints.

  5. 05

    Grout and finish

    Grout, trims and silicone are finished carefully, and the area is left clean and tidy.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can’t see your question? Steve is happy to help — +44 7916 318362 or ceramicsolutionsuk@outlook.com.

Can I choose my own tiles?

Of course — it’s your room. If you haven’t bought your tiles yet, it’s worth talking to Steve first: tile size, thickness and finish all affect the layout, the preparation needed and how many you’ll need to order.

Can you tile over existing tiles?

Sometimes, but not always. It depends on the condition of what’s there and the tiles going on top, and in many cases removing the old tiles and preparing the surface gives a better, longer-lasting result. Steve will explain what’s right for your walls or floor when quoting.

Do large-format tiles work in a small room?

Often, yes. Larger tiles mean fewer joints, which can make a small bathroom or kitchen feel calmer and more spacious. They do need a flat surface and careful setting out, so it’s worth discussing early when planning the layout.

How much does wall and floor tiling cost?

Every job is different. The size of the area, the type of tile, the pattern and how much preparation is needed all affect the price. The quickest way to find out is to send a few details for a free, no-obligation quote.

What do I need to do before the tiling starts?

Clear the room as far as you can, and if you’re supplying the tiles, make sure they — and any trims — are delivered in plenty of time. Steve will let you know anything else specific to your project before work begins.

Which areas do you cover?
