Discuss your projectWorking in Otley
Work with the room. Resolve the details early.
Planning work in Otley does not have to start with a complete bathroom replacement. You may need a tiler for a room your builder is preparing, a new floor between adjoining spaces, or help bringing a shower installation together.
For an existing room, the starting condition matters as much as the tile choice. We discuss what will be removed, what is staying and who will prepare the surfaces. That makes the boundaries of the work clear before installation begins.
The layout is then considered around the room itself. A window reveal, a narrow return or the edge of a bath can influence where the tile joints fall. These decisions are easier to make while there is still room to adjust the plan.
Meet our approachThe right scope for your project
From the surface
to the smallest detail.
Walls, floors and awkward junctions
Setting out is considered across the whole surface, including returns and thresholds. We work with porcelain and ceramic and can discuss patterned layouts, grout lines and the treatment of exposed edges.
Changing a bath into a shower
A tiled shower needs more than a different floor finish. We look at the construction, drainage route and waterproofing approach before confirming how the shower area can be arranged.
Bringing the installation together
If the project extends beyond tiling, discuss the bathroom as a whole. Agreeing preparation, plumbing coordination and finishing responsibilities helps the separate parts of the room meet properly.
Before we talk
A clearer brief for an existing room.
These details are particularly useful when a bathroom or floor is changing while the rest of the house stays in use.
Photograph the junctions
As well as a wide view, include doorways, window reveals and the edges of fittings that will remain. Close photographs help explain the finish you are asking for.
Describe the current surface
Is it tiled, boarded, plastered or unfinished? If you are unsure what is beneath it, say so. We can discuss what needs checking before a specification is settled.
Share the sequence of work
Mention any removal work, plumbing changes or floor preparation arranged with another trade. A proposed start date is more useful when the preceding work is understood.
Do you cover Otley and Guiseley?
Yes, we welcome tiling and bathroom enquiries from Otley and Guiseley as part of our Yorkshire coverage. ONYX is based in Ilkley, so these are areas we serve rather than separate branches.
Can you work alongside my existing builder or plumber?
Yes. Tell us who is involved and what each trade is preparing. We will need to agree the surfaces, sequence and finishing responsibilities before the tiling starts.
Can new tiles go straight over the old ones?
That needs assessing. The condition and stability of the existing finish, additional thickness and suitability of the proposed system all matter. A photograph is a starting point, not a confirmation that overtiling will work.
What if I only have an idea at this stage?
Send the room photographs, approximate dimensions and the changes you would like to make. Tell us which choices are still open so the discussion starts at the right level of detail.
