What Professional Bathroom Flooring Involves
A high-performing bathroom floor must withstand daily moisture, splashing water, humidity, and foot traffic while remaining warm and slip-resistant underfoot. We handle the complete installation sequence: lifting old floor coverings, inspecting and repairing timber joists, screwing down Class 3 exterior plywood, pouring self-levelling compound, laying electric underfloor heating mats, fitting LVT or porcelain tiles, and applying sanitary-grade anti-mould silicone around all room perimeters.

100% waterproof LVT planks and tiles in wood, oak, slate, and marble finishes with 0.55mm heavy-duty commercial wear layers.
Subfloor Plywood Overboarding & Levelling

Choosing Between LVT, Sheet Vinyl & Porcelain Tile
Selecting the right bathroom flooring requires balancing moisture exposure, thermal warmth underfoot, slip resistance, and maintenance over many years. Luxury Vinyl Tile (LVT) has become the most popular choice for modern UK bathrooms because its solid PVC core is 100% waterproof, warm to the touch, and significantly quieter under bare feet than ceramic or natural stone. Available in click-lock or glue-down planks replicating realistic oak, walnut, terrazzo, and limestone, LVT provides high design versatility without cold surfaces or grout upkeep.
Sheet vinyl remains the most cost-effective option for tight budgets and rental properties, offering a continuous seamless barrier that prevents water reaching the subfloor. For wet rooms and heavy-use family bathrooms, dense porcelain tile provides unmatched scratch resistance and decades of service life when installed over a rigid subfloor. We guide you through wear layers, R10 slip-resistance ratings, and acoustic underlays to ensure your chosen flooring perfectly matches your daily routine.
Subfloor Levelling, Plywood Overboarding & Moisture Testing
The secret to a durable, flawless bathroom floor lies entirely beneath the finished surface. Skipping subfloor preparation is the leading cause of LVT lifting, gapping, and tile grout cracking within months of installation. Flexible LVT and thin sheet vinyl "telegraph" every bump, ridge, or screw head on the subfloor below, requiring a substrate that is clean, dry, and flat to within 3mm over a 2-metre straight edge.
On timber floorboards, we screw down 6mm or 9mm Class 3 exterior-grade plywood at 150mm centers to eliminate joist flex and create a smooth, rigid plane. On concrete subfloors, we test relative humidity (RH) with hygrometers, apply liquid damp-proof membranes if moisture exceeds 75% RH, and pour fiber-reinforced self-levelling compound. This rigorous preparation guarantees a rock-solid foundation that prevents movement and extends the lifespan of your floor for decades.
Underfloor Heating Compatibility & Watertight Perimeter Sealing
Integrating electric underfloor heating transforms a bathroom floor from a chilly morning surface into a luxurious, rapidly drying feature. Electric heating mats fit neatly into a thin layer of smoothing compound during installation. Porcelain tile handles high heat outputs seamlessly, while LVT and sheet vinyl require thermostatic floor sensors calibrated to limit surface temperatures to 27°C, preventing material softening or adhesive breakdown.
To keep water from penetrating underneath your new flooring, perimeter sealing is paramount. We allow a 5mm expansion gap around room perimeters for natural thermal movement, then seal all floor-to-wall, vanity base, and WC junctions with sanitary-grade neutral-cure silicone. Whether refitting skirting boards over the new floor or fitting anodised threshold transition strips at door thresholds, every edge is secured against moisture ingress and daily cleaning splashes.
