tiling

Hi Can anyone recommend the best adhesive for large format porcelain floor tiles in a kitchen? Also, is there a particular brand of latex (for the floor) that I should get? Thanks

Hi, we are renovating our family bathroom and the tiler is currently fitting tiles on both floor and walls. I now need to buy the grout for the tiler. Our tile joints are 2-3mm. He said to just go to Topps Tiles and buy their grouting as it is good. But I wanted to see if that's actually good...

Hi, all I have just finished my wetroom and tanked all areas, to my understanding because this is a wetroom, therefore, all areas should be tanked. However, I have created a large concrete step that is spirit levelled and my worry is if I tank this area then should any water ingress via...

Hi all, Just finished, tanked and tiled the wet room. Would like to use epoxy grout. Does anyone have any recommendations, please? I have all the cleaning at hand because of the haze epoxy causes on surfaces, so ready for. I just need something waterproof and resistant with a reasonable...

Am I correct in thinking that the plinth of a riser kit should rest over the floor tiles i.e. the bottom of the plinth is set to the finished floor height, with the end of the tile run just tucking underneath? If the above is the case, then I assume that the edge of the tile stops before the...

I'm planning on putting in a kitchen island that sits on a tiled rectangle. My plan was to install the island cabinets, tile around these then install the end panels and plinths. I don't have enough tiles to tile the whole rectangle. Does that sound like it will work ok? Thanks

hi guys I've started tiling my media wall with stone cladding and hit a brick wall. I need to tile the corners and since the cladding I've bought doesn't offer corner tiles I will need to cut it myself. Normal 45 deg cut won't work as the cladding I have varies in thickness (stone-like effect)...

Hi, I'm redoing my ensuite and through an accumulation of a victorian plumbing shower tray being 890 instead of 900 advertised and my tiles being 6mm instead of 10.2mm like advertised the tiles slot down both sides of the tray. What can I do to get over this as I belive the tiles need to drop...

Hi guys, I am in the final process of completing my wetroom prep before tiling. All that is needed is the waterproofing and my mortar bed slope to the linear drain. I have applied waterproof backer boards, now I am ready for tanking/waterproofing. My question is should I fully Tank my backer...

Howdy! Our 6x6foot bathroom is currently tiled up bottom to top all the walls. These tiles are probably 40+ years old and easy to remove. The wall behind is quite smooth with the old plaster in place - not much damage apart from few places with "deeper holes". I'm going to retile around the...

Evening, I am stripping and recreating my bathroom as my disabled daughter needs a walk-in-shower with supports, rather than just the over-the-bath shower we have at the moment. The bathroom is VERY small, so space is everything. I have stripped back all the tiles, plaster and render back to...

We're looking to redo one of our bathrooms including a full re-tile, but the house has wet underfloor heating throughout which gives me pause for thought. How is the underfloor plastic piping likely to be set below the floor tiling and is there a risk that removing the existing tiles will...

Hi all, We've had an extension built with 600mm x 600mm floor tiles laid through from the hall into the extension. In the hall, the tiles are laid on a suspended wooden floor with underfloor heating between the joists, chipboard across the joists and Ditra matting. However, the tiles have...

Our tiler will be tiling two walls in our bathroom in a couple of weeks time over a bath and shower over it. I have removed the old tiles from the walls leaving big areas where the plaster came away leaving brick wall but other areas where it's ok. I've cleaned it up as best I can and bonded...

Hi , I am planning to DIY bathroom tiling. Currently the wall tiles fixed directly on the one brick plastered wall for half the height. I am planning to remove all existing tiles on the wall and apply a water proof layer in-between new tiles and brick wall. I am not sure if this middle layer...

I just bought a terraced house and noticed a huge person size whole in the gable party wall. From reading around I understand that this should be bricked up to the rafters. Do i need to agree a party wall award to do this? Is there any specific requirement about how close to the rafter is has...

So I'm renovating the bathroom in my new house and I bought some water resistant boards (Knauf aquapanel) for the splash heavy areas like the shower, but online I have been seeing a lot of people using the Abacus Elements foam waterproof tiling boards. Which is better? does anyone have...

The wall above my bath has previously been tiled. At the bottom of the tiled area, the tiles have been cut to fit so they're in thin slivers, maybe 15mm high (see attached photo). The area is looking tatty now. It's been in situ for about 20 years and I think some moisture has got behind the...

Hi, I have a large pebbledash wall painted in white masonry paint. I'd like some decorative porcelain tiles attached to it (around 1m2 not the full wall). Is it possible to have tiles laid directly onto the pebbledash without it being removed, or alternatively could exterior grade tile board be...

Is there any way to fit tile trim “retrospectively” to this corner (photo attached£ to tidy it up? I could remove the tiles and reattach them (with a piece of trim inserted) but I wondered if there was a short cut here? thank you Alan (Almost zero knowledge of tiling)
