Bathroom Tiles in Leicester
Wall and floor tiles for full renovations, wet rooms and en-suites, from porcelain and ceramic to anti-slip and large format. On display at both Leicester showrooms, with free samples and free local delivery.
The right tile for every part of the bathroom.
A bathroom is really several tiling jobs in one room, walls, floors, wet areas and detailing, and each needs a slightly different tile. We stock hundreds of bathroom wall and floor tiles across our Wigston and Thurmaston showrooms, from budget-friendly ceramic metros to porcelain floor tiles rated for wet rooms.
Whether you are planning a full renovation, a wet room conversion or a quick refresh, our family-run team helps you narrow the range down to something that fits the room, the budget and how the space actually gets used.

Choosing the right bathroom tile
Porcelain vs ceramic
Porcelain is denser and less porous, the better choice for floors and wet areas. Ceramic is lighter and cheaper, and is the usual choice for walls.
Slip resistance
Any floor tile in a bathroom, and especially a wet room or shower, should carry an R-rating (commonly R9 to R11). Ask our team for the right rating.
Size for small bathrooms
Larger tiles with fewer grout lines can make a small bathroom feel more open; small mosaics suit shower floors that need a fall to drain.
Grout & sealing
Grout colour changes the whole look. Natural stone-look and genuine stone tiles may need sealing, which we will flag if it applies to your range.
Ceramic vs porcelain
| Factor | Ceramic | Porcelain |
|---|---|---|
| Bathroom walls | Excellent, the standard choice | Suitable but often unnecessary cost |
| Bathroom floors | Workable in low-moisture areas | Better, the standard for wet areas |
| Water resistance | Good | Very high, lower porosity |
| Durability | Good for typical use | Higher, better for heavy use |
| Large format availability | Limited | Wide, including slabs |
| Typical best use | Walls, splashbacks | Floors, wet rooms, large format |
Estimate your coverage
An estimate only. Add 10% waste for straight layouts, more for diagonal or patterned floors. Bring your measurements into either showroom and our team will confirm exact quantities against your chosen tile.
“The most common bathroom question we get is porcelain or ceramic, and the honest answer is both, ceramic on the walls to keep the budget sensible, porcelain on the floor where it needs to cope with water. Always take a floor sample home and stand on it wet, that R-rating on paper means more when you have felt it underfoot.”

Bathroom tiles, Leicester
