what

Hello everyone. I’m fitting some large floor tiles next week. 1000 x 1000 mm over electric underfloor heating. These are the largest tiles I have fitted before. My plan is to use a 20 x 10 mm round notched solid bed trowel along with back buttering. I believe this is a good approach but any...

Hi as the title says, what would everyone recommend as a good tile cutter for someone just starting out? Many thanks

Hi everyone I was kindly given an older used Rubi ND180 smart wet cutter, it’s not in the best condition but it works and will do me for a while as I’m just starting out. I’ve taken the disc out as it needs replacing. I’m just looking for some advice on whether you think stick to Rubi wet...

Hi Having removed old "marley" tiles there is a residue of bitumen adhesive. What is the best smoothing compound to cover this before laying the tiles? Thanks. Gnasher

I have porcelain tiles 600mm x 150mm x 9mm that I need to fit on a wall 135mm x 240mm but the plastered wall is way out. I need a board to fix to level the wall and take the weight of tiles and adhesive. Wanted to know what board is best for doing this, what's the best way to fix to a plastered...

Hi all I’m new to this community and would appreciate any help around the tile industry in the uk and margins at each step (manufacturer-distributor-retailer) I’m asking this as I have an opportunity in relation to becoming a distributor for a well established tile manufacturer from abroad...

Hi all. Hope this is the right place to post this. We had our bathroom done last year and over time we noticed that water was getting underneath the tiles on the window sill. The window sill is above a bath which has a shower so it gets quite wet after use. We're pretty good at cleaning off but...

Would the tiles need to be mechanically at this height roughly 600x1200 10mm thick porcelain

The formatting of that second video is really doing my head in. The text seems to be aligned wrong to the right of it. So I'm going to go figure out why and how I sort that out. That's the kinda thing I lose sleep over these days lol

There are many different types out there, I have one I recommend. Which one do you lads recommend / fit and is it different for different substrates?

Probs be grouting a wetroom tomorrow morning and then the usual afternoon in the hot tub. Then on Sunday I do the roast dinner. The wife’s not the best cook 😂 Anyone doing anything fancy or just plain old working. 😩.

So I bought a Makita 18v grinder, and it could be a game changer. I'm using a Marcrist akkumax blade after being recommended one on here. So far so good. The only drawback is I'm coming home dustier, even though it's cut outdoors, but the blade as supplied is on the left, throwing the dust...

We're getting some forum shirts done, Polo Shirts, found a good quality one that's longer than normal. Don't like the ones that ride up when you're bending over tiling etc. It'll have the forum name on the sleeve, but your own logo on the breast-pocket area (there's no pocket, you know that...

Hi folks, What side of WBP ply should I tile onto? Smooth side or rough side? Does the side I'm not tiling onto need a primer? Thanks all Mart

In light of the thread in the main forum of chappy being sued for the tiling he did. What does your insurance cover ? Mine just covers public liability. If I injure someone or damage property I’m covered. If an installation fails due to my error / mistake / not following manufacturers...

one of the walls i need to tile is just a bit wider than the width of the tile im using meaning id be left with a tiny strip of tile at one side. What would you guys do with this? Mounting the tiles horizontal would be and option but the mrs wants them vertical. Was thinking i could use two...

I don't have a clue, so some advice would be appreciated

I’ve not been on for a while since completing a new fully tiled ensuite last year. Help on here was superb! Thank you. I’m onto the main bathroom now which has been gutted and then plaster-boarded. This was done 6 months ago. I’m thinking of creating a new shower cubicle which will have a...

Hello everyone, I'm hoping for some advice and guidance please! I've had three sides of a bath area tiled in 6x25cm tiles by a professional* tiler (*only does tiling). In general the workmanship is good (setting out, no lipping etc.) but after he grouted there are areas where I can see the tile...
