A tile-free bathroom renovation
Tiles tend to be a standard feature in bathrooms, but they are by no means essential. If you aspire to tile-free walls or flooring in your bathroom, there are plenty of alternatives:
natural materials such as wood and cork, modern wall coverings made from plastic and, of course, plaster. If applied correctly, these will be just as effective in preventing moisture and mould.
Do you want to renovate your bathroom without removing the old tiles or laying new ones? We now provide a selection of materials and techniques for this, along with detailed instructions on how to use them.

What advantages does a grout-free bathroom offer?
There are several good reasons to opt for tile-free bathroom floors and walls.
- No tiles means no grouting to clean regularly to prevent discolouration and mould. You’ll thus save time and money.
- The seamless look of grout-free floors and walls creates a more restful feel. A bathroom without tiles also looks more spacious.
- Alternative materials can be less expensive to buy and fit. This will reduce the overall costs involved in renovating your tile-free bathroom.
