    Has my Tiler done a good Job ?

    Uneven floorboards. Will tiles come loose?

    Uneven floorboards. Will tiles come loose?

    If it was me I’d re-board the floor first, then overboard with NMP as per the instructions with NMP glue and screws. Last bathroom I did was just like this but maybe not quite as level. As it happens I needed the floor up anyway to access the pipework so it just made sense to replace it.

    Shower Tray Riser kit install

    Hi Yes it is supplied by the manufacturer and I have followed the instructions. The instructions didn't say anything about attaching to the floor. Which is why I asked for suggestions. All looks good though. The base was marked with the position to fix the pads so in this case they must be...
