    Replacing cracked tile - slope on subfloor

    No, I am just a DIY-er. The tile was cracked on the floor when I bought the house last year. Starting to annoy me now! Can I layer the adhesive up to fill the gap at the bottom?

    Brick / Metro Tiling - Where to centre tile above

    Hi, Just about to do some brick tiling. When you centre the first tile on the row above, do you centre it on the grout line or at the edge of the tile below? So does the middle of the tile above go inline with the grout line or the edge of tile Hope that makes sense! Thanks

    Line of cracks along tiles :(

    Hi, About a year ago I got my kitchen tiled by a professional tiler. The tiles have started to crack along the joins of the 18mm WBP. The WBP was put down by myself. Looking back I have realised I laid it wrong - the long long crack is where the Plywood is 90 to the floorboards and not the...
