Bathroom Tiles – Buying Guide & FAQs

Choosing the Right Bathroom Tiles

Bathroom tiles need to look good and perform well in wet environments. Our range of bathroom wall and floor tiles is carefully selected to offer durability, water resistance, and stylish finishes suitable for modern and traditional bathrooms.

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are the most popular choices for bathrooms due to their low water absorption, easy maintenance, and long-lasting quality.

Frequently Asked Questions - Bathroom Tile Advice & FAQs

What tiles are best for bathroom walls?

Ceramic and porcelain tiles are ideal for bathroom walls. They are moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and available in a wide range of colours, patterns, and finishes to suit any style.

What tiles should I use for bathroom floors?

Porcelain tiles are recommended for bathroom floors as they are dense, hard-wearing, and water-resistant. For safety, consider matt or textured finishes which provide better slip resistance in wet areas.

Are bathroom tiles suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes, most porcelain and ceramic tiles are fully compatible with underfloor heating systems. Tiles conduct heat efficiently, making them a practical and comfortable flooring choice for bathrooms.

What size tiles work best in a small bathroom?

Both small and large tiles can work well in small bathrooms. Larger tiles with fewer grout lines can help create a more spacious look, while smaller tiles or mosaics are ideal for feature walls and shower areas.

How do I calculate how many bathroom tiles I need?

Measure the total area in square metres and add 10% extra for cuts and waste. Each product page shows the m² coverage per box, making it easy to calculate how many boxes you’ll need.

Are bathroom tiles waterproof?

Tiles themselves are water-resistant, but proper installation is essential. Using suitable adhesive, grout, and waterproofing in wet zones (such as showers) ensures long-lasting protection.

Are matt or gloss tiles better for bathrooms?

Gloss tiles reflect light and are popular for walls, helping brighten smaller spaces. Matt tiles offer better grip and are often preferred for floors. Many customers combine both for a balanced, practical design.
