We are Were Tiling, a specialist tiler for all Victorian, Georgian & Edwardian Mosaic & Geometric tiling work.
Our services cover both interior conservation and contemporary tiling work for the likes of Victorian Bathroom Tiling and exterior tiling for the likes of Victorian Pathways.
When it comes to Victorian Bathroom tiling however, the design that we know of and most associate with Victorian Bathrooms is more a contemporary update of the true design origins. From modern toilet designs that feature fittings that have a ‘Victorian’ look and feel to them along with the taps, bathtub design and do on. Even the tiling of a Victorian Bathroom that you most likely associate with the name is not necessarily the same as what it actually was back in the day.
Whilst being hard wearing and practical, Victorian floor and wall tiles were installed in bathrooms for two primary reasons – Hygiene & Decoration.
Aesthetically, these Victorian tile schemes served to wow and entertain. In the modern day their lasting presence is testament to the quality of both the manufacture of the tile and the skilled installation by the artisans of the era.

From classic black and white tile designs to decorative multi-colour encaustics and contemporary geometric ceramics. However you want your Victorian Bathroom tiling to look, we can tile it. As one of the leading professional tilers specialising in Victorian tiling in Scotland, we are able to work on both the restoration of existing Victorian Bathrooms and the contemporary reproduction of these magnificent tiled rooms in homes that are looking to capture the look and feel of this period.

Brian from Newcastle We were replacing a carpet in our hall and discovered the original Victorian tiling was still there. Andrew came to our home, looked at the tiling and gave us a quote with no hassle. His attention to detail and careful and methodical approach are clear in the end results. We are so delighted with the work that he has done. We never thought about having a tiled hallway but we are more than delighted with the results and it has increased the value of our home considerably.
Andy from Glasgow We were looking for our Storm Door area and hallway to have a matching contemporary geometric tile design to them. We want a modern take that worked with our period Victorian home. Andrew was one of three tilers we call. He was the only one who took any measurements and really looked at the set up that we wanted. We went Were because they seemed to know what they were talking about and we were impressed with their detailed quote breakdown. It meant we knew exactly what to expect. And the end result - we could not be more happy with the end results. Our hallway looks better than ever.
