Hi, Probably this is a common question but i couldn't easily find the answer. Shower being built in corner of two stud walls. Studding doesn't line up with chosen shower size for a secure fixing for the glass support track. I "was" going to put green plasterboard for the walls and tile over...

Hi we're looking at getting our bathrooms tiled and we've had 3 quotes so far,and they all seem to disagree with if the upstairs bathrooms need boarding down. Lifted up the vinyl and this is what it looks like underneath The first plumber said adhesive glue would be fine, whereas the other...

Hi Guys, looking to tile my new kitchen floor, however, have come across a hickup, There is a very large hole in the concrete floor from wall to wall which has collapsed slightly. I don't know why this has happened though my suspicion is that the builder who did my extension years ago knew...

hi all, So, I’m looking to do a bathroom refurb, new bath sink etc. Already in there is a 700 x 700 shower with a door frame, one side is the main bathroom wall and the other is a tiled stud wall. My plan is to take the stud wall and shower tray out, and the door & frame. The current bath is...

Hi there, I'm renovating a room in my house (Victorian terrace in London) that I'd like to turn into a bathroom. I'm going top-down and I've pretty much finished building the roof - which wasn't in good shape, I'm now ready to start preparing the walls. At some point in the past, the interior...

Some of the new battens have got black mould on them. I thought they should be treated to prevent that. Will they be ok behind the tiles once dry or should I remove them or spray with 5star fungicide? I don't want to cover over if going to be a problem in future. Thanks

Hi guys, I really like working with Ball grout but as it is cement based absorbs the water. I do use grout sealer but as most clients use hars chemicals to clean limescale for obvious resons it disolves quite quickly. So my idea would be to mix Sica Waterproofer into the grout to make it...

Hi, I am currently renovating my bathroom and will be having tiles on two of the walls, where a shower will sit in the corner and a bath along the same wall. The shower is going where the door currently is. We are planning on using 30x60x10mm porcelain tiles. Currently one of the walls is...

So i've been a bit of an idiot. I have had a room tiled, with electric underfloor heating underneath. I totally forgot to account for the fact that a stud wall was going to be built on top of these tiles. The stud has to be screwed into the tiles and I have no idea where the cables are! Saying...

Hi all, New to the forum but just about to commence a full refurb on a house. Need a bit of advice on whether it is possible to lay slate tiles in our soon to be created, knocked through, kitchen diner. The sub floors differ so I wonder if anyone has encountered a similar issue. The kitchen...

Hi, Looking for next best steps. I had a pre-existing issue with a mixer shower that's valve had gone. When I have gone to replace a leak in the kitchen that I assumed was due to this and bad sealing has become more evident. The hose that connected the water supply from under the tub to the...

As you can see, my kitchen tiles run beneath the cabinets and also between them, by the oven area. Plus they run along the sink area.. I have cleaned and prepped the cabinets ready for priming with Zinsser BIN In a couple of weeks, I have a guy coming to take out the old tiles, put new subway...

Resin shower tray has started to delaminate, wanted to rip it out and replace with pebble mosaics but the stud wall has been built on top of the edges so can't remove it without a lot of damage to the existing wall tiles (which are fine). Plan A Cut around the edge to remove the white plastic...

I have a crumby situation - my flat has a kitchenette - ie the kitchen and lounge are one room. The lounge area is carpeted and that meets a strip of vinyl tiled floor which is the length of the kitchen area (which is essentially one side of the rectangle that includes the lounge area). Here's a...

Hi. Going to be tiling the downstairs of the house. Have a screeded concrete floor that looks pretty level (haven't checked it yet, but no majour bumps or dips). I was going to put down some self levelling before tiling, only because I thought it might make for an easier job and a better finish...

Switched out pedestal basins for vanity units earlier this week, but the pedestal has left a huge hole in the pipe boxing underneath. What do you think is the best way of patching up these holes? They're hidden away so I'm not worried about retiling, but I feel like there has to be a better...
