Bathroom Tiling & Finishing in Reading

Our Tiling & Finishing Services

We offer full-height and half-height wall tiling, creating beautiful feature walls. We expertly mix different tile sizes and styles across different zones to create a bespoke, high-end finish.

We install durable floor tiles, advising on crucial slip ratings for safety. We expertly lay large format tiles and ensure full compatibility with underfloor heating systems.

Wet rooms require specialist gradient tiling techniques to ensure water flows perfectly to the drain. We use waterproof epoxy grouts to create a continuous, impermeable surface.

Standard plasterboard disintegrates when wet. We install specialist cement backer boards in all wet areas, providing a solid, moisture-resistant foundation that can hold the heavy weight of large tiles.

Before a single tile is laid, we apply a liquid membrane and tanking tape at all joints. This creates a completely waterproof seal, preventing water ingress into your home's structure.

We use high-quality grouts, including epoxy for wet areas, and properly seal natural stone. We apply perfect silicone beads at all junctions, especially around baths and showers, for a watertight finish.

A flat floor is essential for perfect tiling. We apply self-levelling compounds and screeds, allowing proper drying times to ensure a perfectly flat base for your floor tiles.

We finish edges with premium tile trims and can execute complex designs like herringbone patterns, brick-bond, decorative borders, and intricate feature tile panels.

Natural stone (like marble or slate) and mosaics require specialist fixing, cutting, and sealing. We have the expertise to install and maintain these premium materials flawlessly.

Why Tiling Quality Defines the Bathroom

Tiling is the most visible element of any bathroom renovation and the most technically demanding. Poor tiling — whether in alignment, waterproofing, or grouting — undermines everything else. At Goodman & Son, the tiler and the waterproofer are the same in-house team. This means the critical junction between waterproofing and tiling is never compromised. We treat tiling as an art form.

Tile Types — Your Options Explained

We work with all materials. Ceramic is cost-effective and great for walls. Porcelain is dense, highly durable, and perfect for floors. Natural stone (marble, slate, travertine) offers unique luxury but requires sealing. Glass and mosaic tiles are perfect for feature alcoves. We will guide you through the best options for your specific space.

Tiling as Part of a Full Installation or Standalone

Our expert tiling is included as a core part of all our full bathroom installations. However, we also offer our tiling expertise as a standalone service if you simply wish to refresh your existing bathroom.
