Grant Bird Tiling Chester | Cheshire Wall & Floor Tiler
- 45 Oakfield Rd, Blacon, Chester CH1 5AG
G&C Ceramics Ltd is a Lincoln-based tiling contractor operating from School Lane, Lincoln LN6, serving domestic and commercial clients across Lincoln and the surrounding Lincolnshire area. A registered limited company incorporated in England and Wales, G&C Ceramics is run by Gareth — who quotes, manages and delivers every project — and has been established specifically to offer Lincoln homeowners, landlords, developers and contractors a tiling service built around three commitments that come up repeatedly in how the business describes itself: firm pricing, programmes that are stuck to, and communication throughout.
Those three things are worth addressing directly, because they are the three most frequent sources of complaint in the trades across Lincolnshire and nationally. A tiler who quotes a price and then revises it mid-project, who agrees a start date and moves it, or who leaves a homeowner chasing for updates is the standard against which G&C Ceramics is positioning itself — and Gareth’s approach to all three is the practical reason Lincoln homeowners, landlords and contractors return and refer.
Peter’s Google review of G&C Ceramics captures the experience of a Lincoln customer concisely and specifically. Gareth stripped out existing shower tiles, re-boarded, waterproofed and retiled the shower — arriving exactly when he said he would, completing the job in two days, and tidying and cleaning throughout and on completion. Peter’s summary: Gareth would be recommended to anyone for his knowledge, professionalism and workmanship. A shower retile involving boarding and waterproofing alongside the tile installation — rather than simply tiling over the existing surface — reflects the approach that produces lasting results rather than a temporary cosmetic improvement over a substrate that will continue to fail.
Bathroom tiling is a core G&C Ceramics service, covering everything from individual tile replacement and regrouting through to full bathroom renovations managing the tiling element from stripped-back substrate to finished surface. The full renovation service includes removal of old tiles, surface preparation, waterproofing and tanking of wet areas, and precision installation of the new tiles — with Gareth overseeing and carrying out every stage personally.
The waterproofing element is not optional on shower enclosures and wet rooms — it is what determines whether a bathroom continues to perform over the following decade or begins to develop the water ingress and substrate damage that eventually requires a full strip and restart. Gareth’s approach to the Peter job — reboarding and waterproofing before retiling rather than tiling directly over an inadequate surface — is the standard applied to every bathroom project, not a premium option reserved for larger budgets.
Labour-only or full supply and fit arrangements are both available, giving Lincoln homeowners and contractors flexibility in how they commission the work.
G&C Ceramics installs wall and floor tiling across Lincoln and Lincolnshire in the full range of materials in domestic and commercial use:
Free tile samples are provided on request, with a sample board agreed before work begins so the client can make the final tile selection from actual samples in the space rather than from a catalogue image under showroom lighting.
Outdoor patio tiling is listed as a specific G&C Ceramics service alongside interior work — using frost-resistant, slip-rated tiles installed with adhesive systems specified for the freeze-thaw cycling and moisture exposure of a Lincolnshire garden or terrace. Outdoor tiling in the East Midlands climate requires different material and adhesive specifications from indoor installations, and getting that specification wrong is the most common cause of outdoor tile failure within the first two or three winters.
G&C Ceramics takes on commercial tiling contracts across Lincoln and Lincolnshire alongside domestic residential work — covering developers, landlords, builders and contractors who need a tiling company they can rely on to arrive when agreed, work to programme and communicate proactively rather than requiring chasing. The website’s explicit reference to multi-unit developments and programme adherence reflects a team that understands commercial contract requirements rather than one applying domestic working practices to commercial sites.
Labour-only arrangements are available for commercial clients who have already specified and procured their tiles and need a reliable tiling contractor to install them to a defined programme. Full supply and fit is also available for commercial clients who prefer a single-point responsibility for both material specification and installation.
G&C Ceramics operates seven days a week from 7am to 9pm — availability that is genuinely useful for Lincoln homeowners who cannot take time off work to supervise trades visits during standard Monday-to-Friday hours, and for commercial clients who need evening or weekend tiling to avoid disrupting business operations during trading hours.
G&C Ceramics covers Lincoln and the surrounding Lincolnshire area for domestic and commercial tiling, outdoor patios and full bathroom renovation tiling, with seven-day availability across the LN postcode area.
If Gareth has tiled your bathroom, kitchen, floor, patio or any other area at your Lincoln or Lincolnshire property, leaving a review on Google or here on Trusted Tradesman helps other local homeowners and contractors find a Lincoln tiling company whose combination of firm pricing, programme adherence and personal accountability sets it apart in the local market. It takes two minutes and makes a genuine difference to a relatively newly established Lincoln business building its local reputation through the quality of every job it takes on.
