How long does it take to tile a bathroom?

+

It depends on the size of the room, the type of tile and the amount of detail, such as niches, mitred corners and feature walls. Waterproofing also needs drying time before tiling can start. Once we have seen the plans we can give you a realistic timeframe.

What is the difference between ARDEX and MAPEI waterproofing?

+

Both are respected manufacturers of waterproofing membrane systems for tiled wet areas. We are registered applicators for both, so we can choose the system that suits your substrate and project, and apply it the way the manufacturer specifies.
