Is My Surface Ready for Tile? Checker

Tick what you notice about your floor, wall or shower, from bounce and cracks to dampness and old adhesive, to see what to check before tile.

These tools give planning-level estimates and drawings from typical values and the details you enter. They are not quotes, designs or engineering, legal, financial, health, safety or code advice, and results depend on your actual surfaces, the local rules, your tile and your choices. No tool or plan can promise a particular outcome. Only a conversation and a look at your project can confirm what it needs, and we give you a written estimate before anything is ordered.

How it works

Four quick steps.

  1. 01

    Pick the surface

    Choose a concrete slab, wood floor, old tile, a wall, a shower or an outdoor slab.

  2. 02

    Set what you know

    Say how much you know and slide for how uneven the surface looks.

  3. 03

    Tick what applies

    Bounce, cracks, dampness, old adhesive, hollow tile, mildew smell, soft spots and more.

  4. 04

    Read the outlook

    See whether the surface looks ready or what to check first.

Tips

  • Check flatness with a long straightedge and look for gaps along it.
  • A floor that bounces or a wall that feels soft needs attention before any tile goes on.
  • Take photos of cracks, stains and damp spots to send with your estimate request.
Questions

About this tool.

Does this approve my surface?

No. It is a checklist. We look at your surfaces in person before we recommend a plan.

Can I tile over old tile?

Sometimes, if it is sound, flat and bonded. We test before recommending it.

What about old flooring?

Older flooring can contain materials that need testing before removal. Ask us before you demolish anything.
