1st Choice Tiling & Plastering Leeds – Tilers, Plasterers and Bathroom Fitters in Morley

1st Choice Tiling and Plastering is a family-run business based at Park Street, Churwell, Morley in Leeds LS27, run by Darren — known to most of his customers as Daz — and trading since 2003. Over two decades of continuous Morley trading, a FreeIndex ranking of 10th out of 181 UK tilers, a 96% Facebook recommendation rate from 35 reviews, and a commercial client list that includes Homebase, B&Q, Tile Depot, the British Gas Training Academy in Leeds, and Samarah Letting Agents with over 900 properties on their books together paint a clear picture of a business whose reputation is built on two decades of consistently delivered work across every project type it takes on.

Darren is named in virtually every review this business has accumulated across multiple platforms. That is not coincidence — it reflects a sole-trader operation where the person who quotes the job is the person who does it, and where every finished bathroom, kitchen, plastering job and commercial fit-out is his personal work to stand behind.

A Commercial Portfolio That Stands Out in the Morley Tiling Market

The commercial credentials buried in 1st Choice’s FreeIndex profile deserve to be front and centre. Darren and his team were approved tilers and plasterers for the Homebase installation team, have worked with B&Q and Tile Depot, tiled the entrance area of the British Gas Training Academy in Leeds, and have an ongoing relationship with Samarah Letting Agents — a property development and student letting company with over 900 properties on their books across Leeds.

A letting agency with 900 properties does not use the same tiler and plasterer repeatedly across multiple projects unless the quality is right, the pricing is consistent, the work is completed to programme and the site is left tidy after every job. That commercial relationship is the most robust quality endorsement the business carries, and it has been invisible in the main public-facing content. A showroom client — referenced in the FreeIndex reviews — described Darren tiling numerous settings over several years and being a great help during a total store refit over a three-month period. Commercial clients who return for three months and counting are the clearest signal available that the standard is being maintained.

Full Bathroom Renovation in Leeds and Morley

Full bathroom renovation — from gutting and replastering through to tiling, fitting the suite, installing shower enclosures and finishing — is one of 1st Choice’s core services and where the review record is richest and most specific.

Philip Chow from Wakefield described choosing Darren from FreeIndex to replace a tired bathroom, receiving expert advice on suitable products, a competitive quotation, and a week-long installation covering removal of the old suite and tiles, full retiling and fitting a new bath, shower, basin and toilet — with Darren arriving promptly each day and completing the job to a standard Philip would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.

Dave and Miriam from Morley bought a bungalow with a bathroom in such a state they almost gave up on it. Darren transformed it into an amazing, beautiful bathroom — fitting a new shower, moving the sink, completing all the tiling — professionally, tidily and reliably, at a price better than they expected. They confirmed they would definitely use Darren again and described his work as excellent.

Jan and Ken found Darren through a friend’s recommendation and described him as the first workman they had ever had who finished the job when he said he would, kept them informed throughout, tidied up after himself and was professional and nice with it.

Pam M had a forest-themed walk-in shower room completed by Darren in January 2025 — with a shower seat and the full themed design — describing the result as amazing and Darren as hard working, reliable and great at his job. The Facebook post documenting another completed project in the same style gives a clear picture of what that kind of themed bathroom renovation looks like in practice: green metro tiles running in opposite directions in the shower cubicle contrasted against the surrounding wall, brass trims and fittings, forest-themed wallpaper, wood effect LVT flooring in herringbone, and a backlit LED mirror — a cohesive design executed across every element of the room rather than a tile job delivered in isolation.

A second Facebook-documented project in Headingley — an ensuite in a new loft conversion — describes white metro wall tiles, grey LVT flooring and anthracite grey floor-standing vanity unit with an LED Bluetooth mirror giving the room a clean, modern finish. A third project in a new extension in Headingley used 900×900 porcelain marble effect tiles with copper veins alongside a 300×300 porcelain diamond pattern floor, a free-standing bath with floor-standing tap, a shower enclosure, vanity basin unit and toilet, all finished with copper fittings throughout. These are not standard bathroom retiles — they are designed, coordinated spaces where the tiling is part of a wider design direction that Darren is capable of advising on as well as delivering.

Most recently, a customer whose builder recommended Darren during a hip-to-gable loft extension described being over the moon after having two bathrooms fitted in November 2024 — describing the result as an understatement of their satisfaction.

Plastering in Leeds, Morley and West Yorkshire

Plastering is an equal part of the 1st Choice service alongside tiling — and the combination in one contractor is a genuine practical advantage for homeowners who need both trades on a renovation project. Separate plastering and tiling subcontractors need scheduling, produce overlapping visits, and create accountability gaps when the finish between the two trades does not align. Darren covers both.

One reviewer described selecting Darren to replaster concrete ceilings in a lounge and two bedrooms as an urgent job — having previously used him for kitchen plastering work for a daughter — and described the work as fast, efficiently done and the finished product as excellent. Another described having their kitchen replastered and then tiled by Darren, praising his punctuality, consistent work ethic and obvious pride in the work, his helpfulness and good relationship with other contractors on the job.

The Belle Isle kitchen project documented on social media describes removing a stud wall, creating a new door opening in a better position than the original, insulating and boarding the ceiling and new stud wall, patching where necessary, and reskimming the whole kitchen — a complete structural and plastering job, ready for the joiner to install the new kitchen, with the tiling to follow. That is a full multi-phase project managed by one tradesman rather than a sequence of separate contractors.

Plastering services across Leeds and Morley include full re-skims, plasterboarding, artex covering, patch plastering, ceiling and wall work across bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, living rooms and commercial premises.

Kitchen Tiling in Leeds

Kitchen tiling — floor and wall — is well represented across the 1st Choice review record. One customer described highly satisfying tiling of their kitchen floor, describing an excellent result and immediate recommendation. Another described having their kitchen replastered and tiled with a superlative finish — on time, hardworking throughout and with clear pride in the work. A third used Darren over several months for kitchen plastering, kitchen floor and wall tiling and replastering of other rooms, describing the results as superb each time.

Single Trades vs Complete Projects — Why the Combination Matters

A distinct phrase from the FreeIndex business description captures the practical case for using 1st Choice: why pay for three or four different tradesmen when it could all be done by just the one company? For Morley and Leeds homeowners renovating a kitchen or bathroom who would otherwise need to source and coordinate a plasterer, a tiler and potentially a bathroom fitter separately — and manage the scheduling, pricing and accountability across all three — having Darren handle it under one quote, one timeline and one point of responsibility is a straightforward practical advantage.

Being a smaller business without large overheads also means 1st Choice passes cost savings directly to customers — competitive pricing is cited by multiple reviewers as a specific reason for choosing the business and a positive surprise in the finished invoice.
