water

Hi guys, Looked at a large job which includes 5 bathrooms which have water ufh which is set in what looks like chipboard channels and then 9mm ply over the top. I have not tiled onto ply for years since moving over to backer and never tiled onto ply which is over ufh. I can't screw backer over...

Hi, I am looking for a wall and floor tiler to help me with a job I have in Surrey, immediate start, good rates on day work and a good run of work for the right person, pm me for more info or if interested, thanks matt

Hi All, Fantastic forum, but I couldn't find an answer for the question above. As no grout and adhesive is waterproof (is water resistant - stays as it is and doesn't disintegrate) it will eventually let water in and cause the damage (like in my case: tiles on the plasterboard not tanked)...

Hi, I have no idea if this is acceptable or not but I have just realised when touching the floor of the bathroom it does feel warm in places so I assume there must be hot water pipes running quite close beneath the flooring. There is a hot towel rail in the bathroom which is always on night...

hi on a job today when all water started to run in to bathroom from loft above one of the plumbers fittings had come off its gone down the back of ceramic tiles on two walls and you can see the wet patch's showing will these dry out ok or will it stain back of tiles

Hi, I wonder if anybody can help, I have just had my garden laid with black kota limestone slabs, these were then covered by our landscaper with lithofin colour intensifier. for a few days it looked brilliant, however since then I have been left with patches of water marks on approx. 10-20% of...

Got this from a company specialising in hydroponics. its 1200 x 1200 and works well.

I've had my DW2400 for 2 years and it's always had a weak pump. I keep it clean - always in a bucket using fresh water rather than in the table, but it's always been inconsistent with it's power. Ideally it's just enough to cool the blade but more and more recently it's barely a dribble out of...

I've just had a client ask are metal tile trims (such as the polished aluminium ones) affected by hard water? We're in the South East, Folkestone. Can they be cleaned effectively and easily? Do they attract limescale more than the plastic ones? Do they discolour? I didn't know what to say as...

Hello, I wonder if someone can please give me some tiling advice. We have had a new bathroom installation. Everything looked great and I was initially really happy with the new bathroom which included a new shower enclosure with white tiles on the walls. Using the shower for the first time...

Boy does this cutter chuck some waterout of the back. tools4tiling - DIAMANT DR-350

Hi all. I’m looking for another opinion(s) on this. A friend of mine posted this picture on facebook, and someone tagged me in a post to look at it. I’ve not seen this in person, as I’m in Edinburgh and the problem is in Horley. My initial thoughts were that water had got into a crack in...

Just wonderd what the best way to seal a bath when theres 20mm gap between the bath and the wall.. I dont fancy bringing the wall down just to bring it forward so was thinking of getting some quadrant trim and sealing it in?... Not my tiling btw lmao

Hello guys. There is going to be a shower over the bath, no power shower though. Tiles on the walls are 15x15cm, only around the bath, on the floor marble mosaic. our tiler thinks that occasional shower is not going to affect the walls which are plastered. I was thinking that he should use some...

Hi I'm after some advice on water ingress in our newly built shower enclosure. I've stuck ceramic tiles from Homebase (Lyssia white mosaic tiles - can't post a link!) onto 12.5 mm Marmox boards (which are in turn attached to a stud wall, on e of which is external) using Mapei Keraquick tile...

I posted a thread about a Topps saleman telling one of my customers to mix the grout with bottled water,well I did a bit more digging and have found out that Bal is saying to use distilled or pure water when mixing colored grout if you live in a chalky area as the tap water can discolor the...

There have been a few threads recently that have lead me to look at these water fed drill systems again. It's something we have been considering adding to our product range for a while but weren't sure about the uptake of this type of product. So I have a few questions. Do many of you use...
