Hi all, I have had a resin floor fitted and I am now tiling the shower room. One thing that I am not too sure on is how to join the tiles with the resin floor, or literally leave as it as per the photo. The resin is not sealed so remains permeable, which allows any drainage and behind the tile...

Hello all, I am planning on tiling my bathroom floor, I removed the old tiles myself which were very poorly laid to say the least. Once I got the 4mm plywood they had over boarded with, the floor boards were in a right state so I decided to replace them with new ones. After doing some...
