New tile bathroom floor installed in a Bellingham, WA home

Start underneath

A Great Bathroom Floor Starts With the Subfloor

Cracked tile, lifting vinyl, and soft spots near the toilet are almost always subfloor problems. Years of small leaks and humidity weaken the wood underneath, and new flooring laid over it fails the same way.

So we pull up the old floor and check what’s underneath first. We replace damaged subfloor, stiffen the floor where needed, and use the right underlayment for your flooring, then install a floor built for a wet room.

  • Soft or rotted subfloor replaced
  • Toilet flange set at the correct height
  • Slip-resistant options for wet areas
  • Clean transitions to hallway floors

Flooring options

Bathroom Flooring Types We Install

Each option has its strengths. We’ll help you pick the one that fits your home and budget.

Porcelain tile

Dense, very water-resistant, and available in slip-resistant finishes. The most durable choice for most bathrooms.

Ceramic tile

A budget-friendly tile option with lots of styles, best for areas with lighter traffic.

Luxury vinyl plank & tile

Waterproof, warm underfoot, and quick to install. A great choice for rentals and family bathrooms.

Natural stone

Marble, slate, or travertine for a high-end look. Needs sealing and more care than porcelain.

Heated bathroom floors

Electric radiant mats under tile take the chill off damp Bellingham mornings, controlled by a programmable thermostat.

Subfloor repair

Rotted or soft subfloor, especially around toilets and tubs, replaced before any new flooring goes down.

Built for wet rooms

What Makes a Bathroom Floor Last

These three things matter more than the flooring you pick.

Stiff, dry subfloor

Tile needs a stiff floor to avoid cracking. We fix weak spots and replace water-damaged wood before installing.

The right underlayment

Cement board or an uncoupling membrane under tile, or the correct underlayment for vinyl, installed to the manufacturer’s specs.

Slip resistance

For level floors that get wet, the tile industry standard ANSI A137.1 calls for a wet DCOF of at least 0.42. We help you choose tile that meets it.

Flooring alone is usually finish work that doesn’t need a permit. Adding a new electrical circuit for heated floors may need an electrical permit, which we handle.

Cost & timeline

How Much Does Bathroom Flooring Cost in Bellingham?

FAQ

Call With Your Question

Porcelain tile is the most durable and water-resistant choice for most bathrooms. Luxury vinyl is a good waterproof option when you want a warmer, softer floor and a faster install.

The planks themselves are waterproof, but water can still get through seams and edges to the subfloor. That’s why subfloor condition and sealing around the tub, shower, and toilet still matter.

Many Bellingham homeowners love them during cold, damp months. Electric mats under tile are efficient for small rooms and run on a programmable thermostat.

Yes. We remove the toilet, install the new floor underneath, and reset it with a new seal at the right height.

Luxury vinyl can take one to two days. Tile usually takes two to four days to allow for setting and grouting.

Sometimes, but we usually recommend removing it so we can check and repair the subfloor. Stacking floors can also create height problems at the door and toilet.
