WEST COUNTRY LEISURE CENTRE REFURBISHED WITH A FULL BAL
TILING SOLUTION A £550,000 refurbishment of a Somerset leisure centre has been completed thanks in part to a full tiling solution from BAL – UK market leaders in tiling.
BAL worked with tiling contractors J Bailey and Sons to provide a full M40 specification, fixing materials and on- site support for new changing rooms and shower areas at Wells Leisure Centre operated by independent charity Fusion Sport & Fitness.
The re-tiling of the changing areas cost approximately £40,000 and formed part of the first stage of an investment programme at the centre which also included an extended gym with new equipment, new sauna, new fitness studio, indoor cycling studio and refurbished reception area.
The shower and changing room walls featured 600x300mm Ceramica Impex White Gloss ceramic tiles, while the shower and changing room floors were tiled with 305x305mm Atlas Concorde
Dolmen Porfidio Grigio porcelain tiles supplied by Bristol Tile & Bathrooms.
Backgrounds in dry areas were primed with BAL Prime APD while wet areas were tanked with BAL Tank-it fast-track waterproofing system.
Tiles were fixed with BAL Rapidset Flexible Fibre tile adhesive and grouted with BAL Micromax2 grout. The project was finished with BAL Micromax Sealant colour-matched with the grout.
Rob Bailey, director at J Bailey and Sons, said: “We approached BAL at the very start of this project for their technical advice, support and full specification.
“We’ve used BAL for many years as they are a tried and trusted manufacturer who provides quality fixing materials, backed-up with outstanding specification and on-site project support.”
Based in Shepton Mallet, J Bailey and Sons Ltd have an established reputation as a regional building contractor undertaking building and maintenance works including tiling and flooring across commercial and private sectors.

The result is a dynamic floor layout that meets the multi-purpose requirements of today’s office spaces with a sense of freedom.
In a 1/12th gauge tip-sheared construction, Txture x Mxture bring two takes on sophisticated pattern; Txture delivers a textured plank look that adds impact while Mxture gives an apparently random angular linear effect.
