Hello, I am about to install my new shower tray. It is a large type, 1800mm x 1000mm. I need to replace my floor for marine play and bed on cement. This part I'm ok with. However. The walls, (fresh plastered over green plasterboards) I'm not so sure of. We will probably decide on a natural...

Hey all. I said I would post my experience using Raimondi floor levelling pegs. Got a complete set from Kwik splt what i thought would do the job for a 34 metre floor using 60 x 30 porcelain tiles, so 500 3mm base clips and 200 wedges. I would say the cost was was around the £80 mark. Sounds...

Hi Guys, doing our en suite and have built a shower bench (that in hindsight I should have arranged to be shorter!). It's 126cm long on the front edge and 103cm on the back (abuts a 45ish deg wall at the left end) and 23cm deep. I can top it with 3x 457mm stone tiles cut to size but will...

This may sound controversial. These systems remove a lot of the skill from our trade, anyone can use them in guessing and Prob get great results. Where does that leave the true craftsmen in our trade?? This really is the great leveller (unhappy face)
