Restroom floor replacement in Tulsa

Why restroom floors smell even when clean

Most restroom odor complaints are not about cleaning. Ordinary cement grout is porous: it soaks up what lands on the floor near toilets and urinals, and no mop gets it back out. Add a gap where the floor meets the wall, and moisture sits in the joint and in the floor below it.

Then there is the daily abuse: mop water, acidic and alkaline cleaners, carts, and the occasional overflow. Floors chosen for a showroom stain, crack and lose their grip under that.

We build restroom floors to be cleaned hard every day: a dense tile rated for grip when wet, a grout picked with you for how the room is cleaned, and a base that seals the floor to the wall. The same crew repairs what is under the old floor first, so the new one has something sound to sit on.

How we can help with restroom floors

Three jobs we take on most. Pick the one that sounds like your floor, and the estimate starts there.

Replace a failing floor

Out with the old floor, down to sound

We take up the old tile or sheet flooring, repair the subfloor or slab where it is damaged, and lay a new floor with grout and a wall base built for heavy cleaning. Toilets, urinals and partitions come off and go back on as part of the job.

  • Damaged subfloor or slab repaired first
  • Fixtures off and reset
  • Written 1-year warranty

How to choose a floor for a public restroom

Three things decide whether a restroom floor stays clean and safe: the surface, the grout and the base, and the grip and drainage.

Surfaces, compared

Every restroom floor gets mopped every day. The question is what the mop water and the cleaners do to it.

Porcelain tile
Dense, hard and available with a wet slip-resistance rating, which makes it a common long-lasting restroom floor.
Resinous (epoxy) flooring
A poured, seamless floor that can run up the wall as a cove base, with grit added for grip. It needs time to cure before the room is used.
Sealed concrete
Few seams and low cost, but slick when wet unless treated, and the sealer has to be renewed. Best kept to back-of-house rooms.
Sheet vinyl and vinyl plank
Quick to install, but water works into seams and edges, which is where restroom vinyl fails. Suited to dry, lightly used rooms.

Grout and the wall base

Odor lives in the grout and the joint at the wall. Get these two right and the floor cleans like new.

Cement grout
Porous: it absorbs liquid, stains and needs sealing, and strong restroom cleaners wear it down over time.
Epoxy grout
Rated to ANSI A118.3, with water absorption under 0.1% according to its makers, and no sealing needed. It costs more and takes more skill to install.
The base
The building code asks for a smooth, hard surface that water does not soak into on public restroom floors, with a matching base running at least 4 inches up the wall. Your plans examiner has the final word.
Wall-hung toilets
With the toilet off the floor, the whole floor mops clean. It needs a carrier frame in the wall, which is easiest to add while the room is open.

Grip and drains

A wet floor has to stay safe to walk on, and some rooms need somewhere for the water to go.

Wet slip resistance
Tile makers rate wet grip under ANSI A326.3, and level indoor floors that get wet usually call for a wet DCOF of 0.42 or more. There is no slip-proof tile; cleaning products and sealers change how a floor performs.
Floor drains
Whether a restroom needs one depends on the plumbing code your city enforces, and adding one to a slab means cutting concrete. It is settled before the quote, not guessed.
Slope
Where there is a drain, the floor around it is sloped so water runs to it instead of sitting at the wall.
Cure time
Grout and resinous floors need time to cure before traffic, so we plan the work around when the room can be closed.

  • I hired Oklahoma Bath Professionals to redo my alcove shower. The results were way beyond my expectations. From start to finish the team were communicative, punctual, and respectful of my home.

Restroom flooring questions, Tulsa

What building managers ask first

Why does our restroom floor smell even after it is cleaned?

Usually the grout. Cement grout is porous and absorbs what lands near toilets and urinals, and a gap at the wall base traps moisture. Replacing the soaked grout and sealing the base is what fixes the smell; more cleaning does not. A denser grout such as epoxy absorbs less, and we can use it or any grout you ask for.

What is the best floor for a public restroom?

For most, porcelain tile with a wet slip-resistance rating and a tile or cove base, with a grout chosen for how the room is cleaned. A resinous (epoxy) floor is a strong choice for very wet or hosed rooms. The choice is yours, and we are happy to recommend.

How long will the restroom be closed?

Usually 2 days to a week of work on site, including time for the grout or resin to cure. Keeping one restroom open while we work on another is possible, and that is your call.

Do we need a floor drain?

It depends on the plumbing code your city enforces and on how the room is used. Adding one to a slab means cutting concrete, so it is decided before the quote is final.

Is there slip-proof tile?

No. Tile is rated for wet grip under ANSI A326.3, and level indoor floors that get wet usually call for a wet DCOF of 0.42 or more. How the floor is cleaned matters as much as the rating.

Can you match floors across several locations?

Yes. One specification for the tile, grout and base, each site measured and quoted on its own line.

Is there a warranty?

A written 1-year warranty on our workmanship, plus the manufacturer warranties on the tile and setting materials.
