Bathroom Floor Tiles
Look for tiles with a textured or structured surface. Texture gives a bathroom floor everyday grip underfoot, which matters in a wet, high-traffic space, and a textured glaze also holds up better against moisture and staining than a high-gloss finish. If you have a busy household, ask about slip ratings before you settle on a floor tile — it's a small detail that makes a real difference day to day.
You can, but it's rarely the best fix. A bathroom floor deals with constant moisture and foot traffic, and a painted finish will typically wear away, flake or bubble over time in that environment. A fresh set of tile samples is often the easier option. You can order tile samples first, refunded against a full order, before you commit to the full run — rather than repainting a floor that likely won't hold up.
No — wall tiles aren't durable enough for a bathroom floor. They're thinner than floor tiles, so they can't handle regular foot traffic or heavy loads, and using them underfoot usually ends in a cracked or broken tile. If you're tiling above the bath or vanity, that's exactly what our walls collection is designed for — keep floor-rated tiles for anything you'll be standing on.
Start with the size of your bathroom. Larger tiles can make a small bathroom feel more spacious, while smaller tiles suit bigger rooms and let you play with more intricate layouts. Think about the overall design too — bigger tiles with fewer grout lines read as clean and continuous, while smaller tiles and mosaics add detail to a floor. Grout lines are also a maintenance question: fewer, larger tiles mean less grout to scrub down the track. From there, it comes down to what fits your space and the look you're after.
Regular cleaning keeps a bathroom floor hygienic and looking its best. Here's how:
Check the manufacturer's care guidelines for anything specific to your tile, and wipe up spills promptly — regular maintenance is what keeps a bathroom floor looking good for the long run.
Every bathroom is different — size, material and finish all play a part. The best way to get an accurate answer for your space is to Book a free design appointment, or order tile samples first, refunded against a full order, before you commit.
