Homes in South West Dublin and what that means for tiling work
1930s–1950s semi-detached homes in Terenure, Kimmage, Walkinstown and parts of Rathfarnham, big 1970s–1980s estates in Tallaght, Firhouse and Knocklyon, and newer apartments around Citywest.
Mid-century bathrooms are frequently stripped back to the walls and retiled, often with tanking added where none existed. Newer homes often need regrouting, resealing and shower retiling where original tanking was poor or missing.
What to check before you hire a tiler
- Ask whether shower areas will be tanked before tiling
- Check how uneven walls or floors will be levelled
- Ask which adhesive and grout will be used for your tiles
- Confirm who supplies tiles, and order about 10% extra
- Ask to see photos of similar completed work

What tiling issues are common in South West Dublin?
Mid-century bathrooms are frequently stripped back to the walls and retiled, often with tanking added where none existed. Newer homes often need regrouting, resealing and shower retiling where original tanking was poor or missing.
How many extra tiles should I buy?
About 10% extra for straight layouts and 15% for diagonal or herringbone patterns, to allow for cuts and future repairs.
Can new tiles go over old tiles?
Sometimes, if the old tiles are firmly bonded and the wall can take the weight. In showers, stripping back and tanking is better.
Do showers need tanking?
Yes. Grout and tiles are not waterproof on their own, so a tanking membrane behind them prevents leaks and rot.
How soon can I use a newly tiled shower?
Usually 24 to 72 hours after grouting and sealing, depending on the products used.
