Bathroom Flooring in Newbury

A bathroom floor lives with standing water and steam, and the two floors in the range for it are porcelain tile and rigid vinyl listed as waterproof; the walls of a shower can take the Berry Alloc panels. In Newbury 84% of homes are houses, most of them semi-detached houses (33%), so the questions are the subfloor and the underlay rather than impact sound.

Bathroom in Newbury

Bathroom flooring in Newbury: what the housing says

The West Berkshire district counts 66,659 households in the 2021 census, and the mix of houses and flats in that count is what decides how a bathroom floor is specified here.

Detached houses are 33% of the homes in West Berkshire, and a detached house in Newbury has an en-suite as well as a family bathroom, often a wet room. The large-format porcelain tiles suit a wet room with a fall to the drain; the rigid vinyl suits the family bathroom where warmth underfoot matters. The panels take the shower walls in either.

Owner-occupation is 69% in West Berkshire, and an owner refitting a bathroom in Newbury is choosing between the tile's permanence and the vinyl's warmth, and, on the walls, between tiles with grout and panels without. The bathroom guide and the panel guide linked below take each decision in turn.

Local fact sheet

Newbury's homes, by the numbers

West Berkshire in the 2021 census: 66,659 households, 83% houses, 16% flats.

Newbury covers RG14 and RG20 — Newbury Central, Clay Hill, Greenham, Speen and Wash Common, with Chieveley and Cold Ash, Hungerford and Kintbury around them. It sits in West Berkshire, a unitary authority. Ownership was 67.6% at the 2021 census and private renting 17.1%. Newbury has a dense historic core — the town was a cloth-making centre from the medieval period — and a ring of much later development around it. That gives two entirely different subfloors within a mile: timber joists in the centre, slab and screed on the newer estates. If the property is listed or in a conservation area, confirm what you may remove before you plan what to lay.

Every figure on this page is West Berkshire's, and the authority counts Newbury alongside Thatcham, Hungerford and Kintbury. About one home in six in that count is a flat, and four in five of them purpose-built rather than divided out of houses. An RG14 order is settled by the building at the address, not by the average.

A Wash Common ground floor crossing four or five rooms is not heated evenly across them, and the room used least swings furthest. Let the packs settle where they will be laid, and leave expansion room at every wall and doorway along the run.

Delivery times and options depend on the delivery postcode. See Delivery & Returns for the applicable estimate.

Guides

Before you choose

Before you order in Newbury

  • The edges, not the middle The bath, the tray, the door threshold: sealed as the fitting instructions describe. That is where water gets under a floor.
  • Matt or polished A polished tile is a different floor when wet. The HSE's pendulum grades tell you how different; a matt face is the usual bathroom choice.
  • Timber floor under a tile A first-floor bathroom on joists flexes. A tile over it needs a stiff base or it cracks at the grout; the vinyl floats over it.
  • En-suites and the family bathroom More wet rooms mean more thresholds and more edges sealed. The same floor in all of them keeps the specification simple; a matt face for the footing in each.
  • A floor the bathroom is built around A tile bedded before the sanitaryware stays for the life of the bathroom; the vinyl and the panels are changed with it. Decide with the fitter which this bathroom is.

Questions

Bathroom flooring in Newbury: questions, answered

Tile or vinyl for a bathroom in Newbury?

Porcelain is permanent, cool and hard, and suits a wet room with a fall; rigid vinyl listed as waterproof is warmer, quieter, floats over a timber first floor and can be lifted. Both need the edges sealed properly, which is where a bathroom floor fails if it fails.

Are the wall panels a replacement for tiles?

In a shower enclosure, yes: a panel runs floor to ceiling in one piece with a joint every 600 mm instead of a grout line every 300, and it is listed as waterproof by the manufacturer. The panel guide explains the datasheet and the fitting.

Can I lay a bathroom floor over underfloor heating?

The tiles and the rigid vinyl are listed for it. The screed is dry on a reading and the system commissioned before the floor goes down; the surface limit in a bathroom under EN 1264 is 33 °C.

Can I order flooring samples to my Newbury address?

We post samples to any RG14 or RG20 address, and with an order this size, take several. Lay them out along the whole run before you commit, because a board that looks right in the hall can go flat in a north-facing back room.

Do you deliver bathroom flooring to Newbury?

Yes. We deliver across Newbury and Berkshire from our UK warehouse, including the RG14 and RG20 postcode districts. Delivery cost and timing depend on the delivery postcode and are shown at checkout, and samples come by post first so the floor can be seen in the room before the full order.

Can I see a bathroom sample before ordering in Newbury?

Yes: cut samples are £1.99 each, up to two per product, posted to your Newbury address. Two or three side by side on the floor, in the room's own light morning and evening, settle the colour faster than any photograph.
