room

Looking for some advice. We recently tiled 4 changing rooms which are not cleaning up anywhere near as well as expected. We used HG Cement, mortar & efflorescence remover but it hasn't made much difference. The tiles are Canuk Abete purchased from Solus. The grout was Mapei Anthracite. Any...

I've been contacted by a customer that has a leaking wet room floor, badly fitted by a builder. As I have no experience with wet rooms are there any tilers on here who I could recommend to her that cover Rayleigh Essex?

Been asked to tile the cricket club shower rooms, obviously cost is the most critical issue with clubs with not much money. Current walls are painted brick, and pretty flat, let me just stress that, it's very well painted brick! Chairman for cost savings has suggested tiling straight over to...

I have a job coming up converting a downstairs bathroom (solid floor) into a wet room. I was originally just going to use a former as the customer was having mosaic in the shower area, this has now changed to 600 x 600 porc. This is not a problem but they have now decided that they would like a...

Hi, I am in planning stage to tile must of my downstairs area. It has wet UFH and currently has Amtico laid from when the property was built 15 years ago. I'm not sure of the stability of the screed underneath the Amtico, but I do have some areas of lifting of the Amtico, that could be heat...

We want to get our small wet room tiled, it's 2.4m x 1.5m and has a concrete floor, we had an extension built in 2008 but never got round to tiling it. At the time we bought a Tilesafe kit which we still have, the bitumen based membrane seems fine as do the rolls of reinforcing strip, we would...

Hi I am quoting for a wet room which is currently a small WC but has space for a shower/wetroom area. The space I have available for the tray/deck is just over 1000mm x 800mm. What tray/deck would you recommend (e.g. Impey?) and where is the best place to buy these from? The walls in the room...

I have a friend that's building a wet room at the moment. He doesn't want to use a formed tray but just wants to make the floor in its entirety. This will comprise of a run from one end of the room to the drain end. It's a linear drain that he plans to have roughly 30cm from the shower wall. The...

Hi there folks, I'm a newbie to this forum so apols if I commit a gaffe or two. Quick question if I may, my plumber has offered me two choices regarding the construction of a wet room. Either Marmox sheets or moisture board which would then be tanked. After a bit of impartial advice as to which...

Hi I've recently tanked/ tiled my wetroom floor. A friend who is in the building trade gave me some tiles which have an anti slip finish and he said they would be ideal for the floor. I'm now not sure as to whether these are the correct type/ waterproof. I think they come under this...

i have a brand new Kohler screen for sale, basically ordered the wrong size, by the time everything else had been sorted to do the job it was too late to return it, ( and the fact that I'd undone the packaging as well ). Anyway, my loss will be someone elses gain. The main screen is 1 metre...

Evening all, I have a wetroom install & tile coming up which we have done before however it was some years back. It is 1st floor extension so in effect a new build. The small wetroom is currently studded out ready to receive boarding. Apparently the plumber has installed an Impey shower tray on...

Evening chaps.. Run a small company installing kitchens and bathrooms & have been asked to tile a new build wet room. We have done a couple of wet rooms a few years back now and were wondering what are the latest recommended products? One stud wall has been boarded out with what looks like 6mm...

Got a small walk in shower to rip out and re tile and was curious to know if there would be advantages to using a cement hardie type board instead of moisture resistant plaster board? I'm assuming both would require tanking, weight/type of tiles to be used currently unknown.

Hi there new to this forum and thread. I stumbled across it looking for answers to a similar problem with areas of my grout in a new wet area. Did you ever find out the cause of the leak?? About to tell my builder to carry out checks on the plumbing in the cavity wall. The wet areas are...

Just been to a well respected bathroom place with a fairly well formed plan of how to do my bathroom, which I'll be doing myself. The bath/bog/basin I'm happy with but not done a shower before. The space I have is 1400 x 900mm and want a flush base. I wasn't sure whether to do an enclosure or...

We have created a small wet room with a pebble-floor on a marmox tray then extending across the rest of the floor. There's no urgent need, but we think that it might be good to install a movable screen to limit the spread of water from the shower to mainly the tray area. Can we install a folding...

Is the trusted advisers chat room still going ?

Mods feel free to move if im in the wrong place. Hey folks for a few years I've used this forum for invaluable pointers and information on all sorts of tiling related topics. Like a lot of people out there I'm grateful of the knowledge shared by so many of you. I was recently asked to go and...

Hi Everyone. I'm currently DIYing my en-suite shower room and could do with some advice re tanking. The floor is a new sand and cement screeded floor with in-screed UFH and an Impey Aquagrade former as the wetroom style 'tray' which needs a tanking membrane on it. The dimensions of the former...
