    L-shaped wall tile cuts - templating, measuring accurately any tips?

    There's a video on youtube of a guy templating for large format floor tiles, and I get the principle, but it seems a bit sloppy for me, as the cuts are hidden by a door jamb. I have 4 L -shaped cuts to do, two around the top of a Window reveal, and two around the ends of a bath. The ones around...

    Removing a single tile (in the top corner of wall)?

    First time tiling, lots of mistakes, but most of them have been resolved in a timely fashion so far. However... I fitted a single tile to the top right hand corner, went away for the weekend and have now realised it's got a cut edge facing outward, not the end of the world, but the edge has a...

    Manual Cutting Method for socket/outlets in middle of ceramic tiles?

    Beginner DIY Tiler, I'm contemplating drilling (with ceramic tile carbide tipped drill bits) then using a hand saw with tungsten blade to cut the required piece out. Would this work okay? I don't think using a wet saw, which I do have to do this would feel comfortable and using a manual saw...

    Have seen a social media 'look how great this stuff is' recommending the use of this stuff: Is it any good, it is quite pricey - any lower priced alternative that would be as effective and easy to apply?

    Beginner - how much pressure to apply to tiles when pressing in to adhesive on wall?

    Most tutorials suggest 'pushing firmly'. How do you know how firmly, and how can you ensure that each tile is 'equally' pushed into adhesive, ensuring it's level?

    UK Trowel - with Mapei Standard Set Plus

    Some adhesives give info (not seemingly Mapei). I think the Mapei Standard Set Plus would suit be well as a DIY'er. How do I know what trowel type/size to use? Does it really matter? I'll be fixing 60x30 ceramic wall tiles to Marmox boards.

    UK Marmox multi boards and adhesive?

    I'm going to be installing Marmox multi boards, on two (internal walls) I'll use 4mm, just so I have a nice flat surface to tile with (the surface underneath the plaster is a bit rough and not plumb. The 4mm need to be 'stuck' with cement based adhesive. On the external two walls I'll use 20mm...

    UK Ready mixed adhesive with 60x30 tiles - will it set?

    Is the issue with ready mixed adhesive seemingly only recommended for 30x30 tiles max that it will not set at all giving required adhesion, or is it that it will take a longer (than the usual 24 hour) setting time?

    UK Tile scoring wheel, when to replace?

    How do you know when you need a new scoring wheel on a manual (Rubi) tile cutter? Is there anyway to know before tiles aren’t snapping cleanly?
