Hello all, My name is Bill. I have registered on the Tilers Forum in order to try
to locate some obsolete tiles and also to obtain some advice on tiling. Kind regards.
My tiler has made a huge mistake (which he excuses as being unlucky with measurements). There is an ugly slither at the top of the stack, which is made even worse by the black grout he used between the slither and the ceiling. The tiles are ceramic.
Not only that, there is an uneven gap between...
Hello:
First time posting. Looks like a really good forum for Info.
Here is my question:
I'm doing a DIY kitchen backsplash. I have doon all kinds of timing jobs in the past back splashes and floors etc. this time around I picked a subway tile that doesn't have a bull nose tile for the edges, so...
I have started to notice a wet pattern look on my Porcelanosa Marmol Carrara Blanco bathroom wall tiles. I have looked at unfitted tiles and I do not believe the grey ‘wet’ looking patches to be a part of the design. Quite a lot of tiles display this pattern but not all. Also they are scattered...
Hello, I am hoping I may be able to get some advice.
2 years ago we had a new kitchen fitted and paid the company to fit the tiles at the time. My wife selected quartz resin tiles the kitchen company did not supply them so another supplier. these tiles are 60x60 starluxe tiles, the adhesive and...
We had our kitchen tiled last week and we're not at all happy with the work. The tiles aren't level, the spacings all the over the place, trim looks terrible, no expansion gap between worktop and tiles, grout not silicone between worktop and tiles, grout is varying shades of grey, tiles not...
Hi, I’m after some help please. I had someone come tile my en-suite and it was looking ok until the grout stage. I went in to look after it had been grouted and there is loads of scratched tiles all either in a corner or along a grout line. The tiler says it’s nothing to do with him and I must...
Had my bathroom ripped out and plumbers first fix at weekend. Tiler I had turned up Sunday. Did an hour and half. Did half a wall that looked a complete mess. I tried to put it right but couldn't. Me and my missus decided they would look horrendous and got rid of the tiler. No one could come at...
Hi all I hope you are well. After a bit of advice. I am installing some plumbing under the floor in a kitchen which is getting re done. I did to the client I would take the tiles up do I can run my pipes etc. Any how, half the kitchen is 12mm plywood screwed down every 100 on to floorboards. I...
I own a shop with flats above. Have applied for retrospective building regs and the building control officer is asking me to rip out bathrooms and kitchens which back onto each other and upgrade the 30 min plasterboard which the tiles are set on to 60 mins. I just haven’t got the money to do...
Which tile adhesive have you most used during 2021?
Reply with the make, and upvote if you've used that one also.
We'll see who gets the most upvotes. And I'll mark that adhesive make the winner.
I wont be disallowing new members from getting involved, unlike previous years, so just...
Introduction. I'm Ron a semi retired guy. Joined the forum for advice, and I used the calculators and read up on many topics to help with a kitchen remodel and retiling the bathtub surround. Puting up a ledgerboard to start the wall tile and then working down to the uneven tub was great. Hope...
Hi Everyone, I've got a floor that is constructed with OSB. The construction is very rigid and solid. I also have a large number of old tomettes (natural clay, unglazed) that I would like to use on the floor. Any advise on laying, adhesives etc. would be gratefully received.
Hi,just like to know if plain tiles is the way to go or have a feature wall! We have bought 600 x 300 lappato ipietra tiles in Ivory but look a warm greyish colour & struggling to choose a mosaic tile for shower area, don’t think a blingy tile would look good & may date the en-suite quicker-...
I have part completed shower stall with a partial Schluter kerdi membrane install on the floor. Can I pour Levelquick over the Kerdi? Then new Kerdi on top? It seems the slop to the drain is too steep and I want to reduce it to 1/8" per foot. The shower is 78" by 48" if that matters
