Just had to redo my brother in laws bathroom after a 'tiler' with 20 years experience made a catalogue of errors resulting in total failure. I do feel for the consumer sometimes

How much will it cost to book you a different ferry ticket!

Sure that tiler has an i and shouldn’t be an e in his name?

Crisis over! It looks like we are going to be boarded and mechanically fixed, and Tile source in hedge end are kindly supplying the materials at a good price! Thank you everyone for your patience and support, I will update with photos once done!

4mm Marmox boards are up, stuck and mechanically fixed!

Thank you all for your views on this

Hi again everyone, final question on this project I think... the tiler left an expansion gap either side of the tiled area, is it okay to caulk the gap before painting the adjacent wall or do I need to leave the gap?

I'd paint first and then a colour match silicon

Thank you for the idea! We are painting white, would you recommend painting the room first before caulking the gap?

J Sid · Dec 4, 2018

I would with probably white or something to match tile in silicon rather then caulking

Waluigi · Dec 4, 2018

I would recommend caulking the joint and then cut in with paint when dry. I’d use a quality caulk though, something like Den Braven or Geocel.

Don't mind me while I bump up some older but good threads. If you can contribute to the thread, go ahead. But if it's nothing for you then don't reply and it'll soon drop off the What's New page etc.
