Folkestone Bathroom Renovations & Tiling
Bathroom refurbishments, walk-in showers, waterproofing and specialist tiling in Folkestone, Hythe and Sandgate, carried out by Renato from Ashford.
Serving Folkestone & Hythe
Bathrooms for a coastal town full of Victorian character.
Folkestone's streets are lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, large villas split into flats, and sea-facing homes stretching along the coast towards Sandgate and Hythe. Bathrooms in these properties are often compact, awkwardly shaped or squeezed under a stair or eaves, which is where careful setting out of the tiles makes the difference.
Homes by the sea also deal with damp, salty air and condensation, so waterproofing and ventilation matter more than usual. Renato tanks every shower enclosure and wet-room floor before tiling and builds proper falls to the drain. It is also worth planning an extractor fan while the room is being designed.
From a single shower room to a full refurbishment with new sanitaryware, Renato carries out the work himself. Have a look at our bathroom renovation services and tiling services, or get in touch about your Folkestone project.

Common questions
Bathroom and tiling questions in Folkestone
Can you renovate a bathroom in a Victorian terrace or converted flat in Folkestone?
Compact and awkward bathrooms are common in Victorian terraces and converted flats, and careful planning helps. Renato checks the walls and floor first, then plans the layout and tile setting-out so the room works well in the space available.
Is a wet room a good idea in a seaside home in Folkestone or Sandgate?
It can be. Coastal homes tend to be humid, so the waterproofing and ventilation need to be right. Renato tanks the whole wet area before tiling and builds falls to the drain, and it is worth planning an extractor fan at the design stage.

Renato is based in Ashford, around 16 miles and 20 to 25 minutes from Folkestone by road. He also covers Hythe, Sandgate, Cheriton, Capel-le-Ferne, Hawkinge and Lyminge.
