Canterbury Bathroom Renovations & Tiling
Bathroom renovations, tanked walk-in showers and specialist tiling for homes in Canterbury and the villages around the city, carried out by Renato from Ashford.
Serving Canterbury
A tiler and bathroom fitter for Canterbury homes, old and new.
Canterbury has a wide mix of homes, from period terraces and townhouses near the city centre to 1930s semis and newer estates on the edges and in villages such as Bridge, Sturry and Chartham. Each one needs a slightly different approach, so Renato looks closely at the room before deciding how to build it back up.
Older properties often have timber floors that flex and walls that are far from flat. Tiles crack when the base underneath moves, so a floor may need decoupling matting, cement backer boards or a self-levelling layer before the first tile goes down. In wet areas, every surface is tanked first.
Whether you want a full bathroom refurbishment, a new walk-in shower or just the tiling finished, Renato does the work himself rather than passing it to sub-contractors. Read more about our bathroom renovations and specialist tiling, or contact Renato with a few photos to start the conversation.

Typical projects
What Canterbury homeowners often ask for
Period and terraced homes
Refurbishing a bathroom in an older house, including levelling uneven floors and preparing out-of-true walls before tiling.
Family bathrooms
Replacing a worn-out bath and shower with a walk-in shower, a new layout or both.
Ensuites and cloakrooms
Compact rooms where wall-hung fittings and feature tiling make the most of limited space.
Floors and hallways
Porcelain or natural stone floors in hallways, kitchens and living rooms, laid on a properly prepared base.
Tiling for Canterbury homes
Natural stone & marble
Stone is heavy and needs a firm base, careful blending of colour variation and a good sealer.
Mosaic niches & features
Fine joints show every flaw, so the surface is made flat before mosaic goes on.
Herringbone & patterns
Setting out from the centre line keeps patterned layouts square from one end of the room to the other.
Common questions
Bathroom and tiling questions in Canterbury
Do you cover the villages around Canterbury as well as the city?
Yes. Renato covers Canterbury itself and nearby villages including Bridge, Sturry, Chartham, Harbledown, Blean, Littlebourne and Thanington. He is based in Ashford, so send your postcode and he will confirm.
My Canterbury house is old. Will the floor need work before tiling?
Often it will. Older houses tend to have timber floors that flex and uneven screeds, which can crack tiles. Where needed, Renato uses decoupling matting, backer boards or self-levelling compound first, and can advise from photos or a visit.
