Bathroom Solutions
Background
Darren first made contact with us back in late 2021. He had been working most of his adult life as an estate agent but had become disillusioned with it. He had the desire to make a change and become his own boss.
“I wish I’d found out about Expert Tiling Courses 10 years ago and bitten the bullet earlier! My financial position now is something I could only have dreamed of in my previous job”
He decided to get himself booked on to our popular 9 Day Advanced Intensive Tiling Course and he traveled across to us from Essex in January 2022. He has gone on to found the incredibly successful Bathroom Solutions Limited in Essex which now employs multiple staff and completes countless full bathroom renovations each year.

Over the last few years Darren has worked incredibly hard to build his business Bathroom Solutions Limited from the ground up to where he is today. He is testament to the fact that good training coupled with an excellent work ethic and a strong drive to succeed, can make career dreams come true.
I spent a lot of time looking online for a tiling course that I felt was suitable for myself and worthwhile. I found Expert Tiling Courses UK and after speaking to Henry on the phone I knew it would be worth the travel from Essex. The course is extremely well run by Henry and his side kick Chris who between them have a wealth of knowledge not just in tiling but on successfully running your own tiling business.
I took the course as I was desperate to become self employed and be the master of my own destiny. I had previously done a very small amount of tiling and because the start up cost is minimal, I knew I could get going pretty quickly. I went from being an estate agent for 25 years to tiling for a living, and all I can say is I wish I’d found out about Expert Tiling Courses 10 years ago and bitten the bullet earlier! My financial position now is something I could only have dreamed of in my previous job.
Henry and Expert Tiling Courses gave me the confidence to go straight from the course into full time employment as a tiler with lots of private jobs on the side. I only did this for a short while before deciding to take the plunge and set up my own company. Henry showed and advised me how to price and write up quotes so I was good to go as soon as the course finished. The course shows you everything from setting out to cutting and setting the tiles, grouting and cleaning. The course is run in small numbers so you have plenty of one on one time if you get stuck or have any questions.
Since finishing the course my life has been a complete turn around. I started tiling for a bathroom fitting company for a couple of months. My friend is a plumber and about two years ago we teamed up to create Bathroom Solutions Limited. It has been an even bigger success than we could have hoped for, and is something I am very proud off. We now employ 3 full time staff and dozens of sub contractors to help with bathroom installations. I even have another tiler working for me. Since opening we have been fully booked up for a minimum of 3 months in advance, with a bathroom starting every Monday with 2 or 3 on the go at all times.
The success of my company is not just down to my own hard work and drive but also the advice given out by Henry and Chris at the start of my journey. Even now I often refer to my Tiling Manual they gave me when we finished the course - along with some doughnuts at the end of the week of course!!
Tiling is hard work but if you put the hours in and stay focused it’s all out there for you. You won’t find a better way in to the tiling industry than by visiting Expert Tiling Courses UK and completing one of their courses. These guys will give you the skills you need to get going.
