Large format tiles entire Ground floor through doorways.
I’m sure this job is done by now, I like your idea of putting a contrasting tile the width of the door lining. Is this what you did? -

Deflection check for an odd scenario. I think I am ok to tile.
Just put in a few noggins here and there, amazing how much it stiffens up a floor.- Ben-gee

Unhappy with bathroom tiling
You guys carry on polishing the turd if you want - it needs doing again if you want a professional finish. Also I’d be worried about prep work… what stages of preparation did they go through? -

Split face tile on plaster render behind log burner adhesive
Solid bed 100 %. Any air in adhesive voids will expand and pop off tiles.- Ben-gee

Unhappy with bathroom tiling
That is one of the worst jobs I’ve seen in ages, no pride in their work - why on earth would you fix a tile that clearly has a big chunk out of it? I’m afraid they’ve also used a ready mixed tub adhesive, which is not ok on that sized tile. I’m sorry but you’ve had the work done by someone... -

Tiling on to impey shower tray
You need to read the instructions. The membrane is crucial to the functioning of this tray, when installed correctly it is probably the best wetroom former out there.- Ben-gee

Tiling over quarry tile- outside step
If they really are solid then yes you can. Use bagged adhesive and grout, don’t muck about with that other rubbish. -

Incorrect tile adhesive used
We cannot give a sensible reply without more information. What substrate did you tile onto and what preparation method did you use?- Ben-gee

Sealing a newly tiled shower area
Your patched fan hole is now absolutely fine. Yes you can tile over a pipe chase, but I don’t like to see it so close to the edge of the tile - better away from the edges. If it’s a solid wall it could be filled easily and that is what I would do.- Ben-gee

These are ceramic and have a little flex. What size trowel for walls , very very flat walls, and is back skimming ok or should it be notched too? Is pink bag ultra god for this? Should it be clipped? If so how many along edge (3?, near corners and 1 in centre enough?)
