bath

Evening again, I am fitting a freestanding bath onto the tiles, as mentioned in my last post, under the adhesive is SLC, 10mm wedi, then 18mm marine ply before the joists. Not sure if this is a tiling question, but can I simply screw the feet through the layers into the ply? Or should it be...

Hi all, We have just bought a new-build house, and whilst there is a shower cubicle in the en suite, the main bathroom just has a bath, not ideal for guests. Above the bath there are currently 3 rows of Porcelanosa tiles (200x333mm) above the bath, finished at the top with tile trim.The...

Hi all, my bathroom tiles are circa 1990, ie horrific so need to go. Unless times have changed dramatically I'm assuming tile paint is still utter nonsense and doesn't give you a decent finish? Anyway assuming that is the case I was going to pop down the tile shop get some plain white tiles...

Hello everyone - first question, so bear with me; I have tried to look through the wealth of info you have already posted, so apologies in advance if I have simply looked in the wrong places! Trying to re-fit bathroom in son's 'new' house, and have replaced plasterboard but not yet...

Hello all, i have just had a new bathroom installed. The tiler has tiled the side and the foot of the bath however, the frame or the tiles at the foot of the bath are not flush with the bath overhang trim. They is about 1/4 inch lip between the tiles and the over hang if the bath and at the side...

Hi everyone, Just wanted to try and get fellow members' feedback/opinions on tanking around bath area ..ie. above and around. My question is really..is it necessary? It is not really an area that should really get that wet, just around the top of the bath where it meets the tiles - guess this...

Hi I've looked and looked and I couldn't find an answer. But I'm happy to just be referred to an existing thread if I've missed it. I need to replace the sealant around the bath. But the fact it's against travertine seems to make it tricky. I thought I could just buy any sealant until I...

Hi All I want to tank around a shower bath to ensure its a water tight job. Its around 5M sq and is going onto plasterbord that has had the old tiles removed? What would you recommend, something thats easy to apply would be good. Many thanks...

Any ideas how to remove SBR primer from chrome taps and acrylic bath ? Tried everything :mad2: ....Help ...:oops:

Hi all, Hope you can help me on this one! I have installed a bath with a curved end and want to use slim vertiacal sections of porcelain tiles to create a faeture rather than use a plastic matched board. So I need to create a curve with a flexable material with as small a depth as possible so...

if the gap were bigger I would usually build a wooden stud and tile onto it but this gap is less than 1" any help much appreciated. cheers.

New to tanking and have to refit a bathroom. Strip out with tiles off. Plasterboarded so not sure how it'll go, they either fall off or take the wall with them. If it goes okay I could prime and just retile or I can tank. If walls fall apart I can plasterboard and tank or re-board with tile...

After some thoughts on whether I should put the bath in, fix, seal and tile down to it or leave it out and tile just under? With 9mm ply, adhesive and 9mm tile going down on the floor, the fixing of the bath has to be bang on as the bath panel could cause problems. Pros and cons for...

Hi all, We had our bathroom skimmed over 7 weeks ago. I have not yet applied a miss coat of paint to the walls and celling as I was planning on doing that once the tiles are fitted around the bath and basin as people on here suggested that's the best way to fix the tiles direct to the...

When 'popping off' the (very well fitting) bath side, it flexed a little too much and I managed to get a tiny tear (5/6cm). It will be out of sight when done and it's really not worth a new panel, so... Has anyone ever patched up such a tear successfully? & if so, what with plse? (Type of...

I am re-sealing a (builder installed) bath. It has some whacking gaps to the bottom of the tiles and so it will take far more silicone than is ideal (& using my referred BAL microban it will be £20 seal) so... Is there a way to pack it out (a little) first with ano cheaper sealant - acrylic...

How would i go about this? I will be tiling the side of my bath in a brickwork layout. It has a wooden frame already around the bath.

my mom is going to be having her bathroom tiled soon. been down for bbq today and noticed the bath doesn't fully meet the one side of the wall... how do I get over this so that the tiles will come from above the bath? does the wall need studding out? cheers

Hi We have just had all our walls and celling skimmed in our bathroom and I wanted to know when the best time is to tile around bath and basin. We are looking at only applying tiles around 2 to 3 tiles high with a line of mosaic tiles in between. Do I miss coat the walls first then...
