Porcelain Tiling in Bromley
Specialist porcelain tile installation using precision cutting, correct adhesives and proper substrate preparation.
What This Covers
- Rectified porcelain with tight grout joints (2mm and below)
- Large format porcelain — 600×600 to 1200×1200mm
- Polished porcelain — requires dust-free substrate and careful handling
- Anti-slip porcelain for wet areas and external steps
- Wood-effect and concrete-effect planks correctly set out
How I Work
Porcelain is unforgiving. It shows every imperfection in the substrate. I check and prepare the floor or wall before a single tile goes down.
Precision cutting is non-negotiable. I use wet saws and diamond blades — not cheap tile cutters that leave ragged edges.
Setting out is planned before any adhesive is mixed — tile layout, wastage, grout joint consistency. This takes time and is worth it.
What Affects the Cost of Porcelain Tiling?
Every job is different. These are the main factors that affect the price — I explain all of them during the quote visit so there are no surprises.
- Tile format — larger tiles take longer and need more substrate preparation
- Finish type — polished porcelain requires a dust-free substrate and more careful handling
- Substrate condition — any unevenness must be fully corrected before laying porcelain
- Area size — floors cost more per m² than walls due to preparation requirements
- Grout joint width — tight-joint rectified work takes more time to set out and lay

Straight from the Tiler
44 years of craft, City & Guilds qualified. Every job done to the same standard.
"Had the bathroom completely retiled after years of putting it off. Darren was professional from the first visit right through to the final cleanup. Arrived on time every day, protected everything and left the place spotless. The tiling is flawless. Wish we had done it sooner."
"Wet room in our main bathroom. Darren was recommended by our builder and it is easy to see why. He walked us through exactly what the job involved before he started, the tanking was done meticulously and the marble tiles are set out perfectly. The result is better than we imagined. Very fair price for the standard of work."
"We had Calacatta marble laid throughout the master bathroom and en suite. Darren was the only tiler we spoke to who properly understood the material, specifically around pre sealing, the correct adhesive and where the movement joints needed to go. Some of the others we consulted either did not know or glossed over it entirely. The result is exceptional and has held up perfectly. Would not hesitate to recommend him."
