In cricket, a batsman is not out if they come out to bat in an innings and have not been dismissed by the end of an innings. The batter is also not out while their innings is still in progress.
So, I've removed all the tiles and plasterboard to find I can't reboard as the studs won't be correctly located on the 'back' wall. Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I have already successfully tiled my bathroom floor using a fairly cheap manual tile cutter, and a handheld grinder but I did get some minor chipping on my cuts (not an issue as all hidden under the skirting boards). My next task is to tile the shower enclosure where the tile cuts will be...
Hi,
I bough two types of tiles, one of them being 300x600 rectified split face for a future wall, and the rest 300x600 marble.
Only after laying few raws of the split face and one of the marble on one wall, I found out a day after that the joints don’t line up at an internal corner - I know...
I've never used tiling wedges before and bought some of these. I've only used 3 of them up to now and when I came to knock them out this is how they broke off, meaning I had to Stanley knife the remainder of the plastic out of the joint. I used standard setting adhesive and left them for 3 days...
Hi All,
I'm sure this is a duplicate post from many who sign up but, I'm faced with a cost I can't cover currently and I'm desperate for help.
I live in a Bovis home built circa 2002. Two showers have broken, I cannot get a replacement cartridge for them as Triton have discontinued support and...
Tiling floor with 3mm grout gaps. Removed all visible adhesive between tiles before letting it dry. Used Mapei Ultracolour grout. Ok so far I _think_
Then I started to go wrong (!!!). Mixed the grout too thin and after applying it I decided I'd wipe a little from the top with my grout sponge...
Morning everyone, I looked at a job last night that customer wants 45sqm limestone tiles fitted where a conservatory has been converted into a dining room off the kitchen.
A new solid roof has gone on and windows replaced, the sand/cement screed in conservatory needs slc to bring up to kitchen...
As above. As a DIY’er what would be the best way to cut the square edge type polished metal tile trims?
I have normal tin snips, hacksaws and even one of those Evolution compound angle chop saws that cuts through steel and alsorts-but will the blade bash the trim to bits?
Would I be better...
Good morning all.
I was contemplating screwing a batten to my walls before tiling, but don't really want to compromise the waterproofing membrane I have painted on.
However, I have just come across this on a supplier website;
"Mapei Super Flexible Adhesive has excellent resistance to tile slip...
Hi all, I'm just getting to the end of doing my kitchen splash back it's my first real job for myself. I've done the walls under the units and now I'm on the the last wall which has no units so I'm wondering should I use trim along the top of the last row of tiles or will a nice neat line of...
Hi all,
This is first post here.
I have an old house which we are in the process of re-doing kitchen and whilst lifting the many decades of different flooring, finally came down on what must be the original 1905 floor tiles. They are at least 2in thick and classic red terracotta. Under them is...
Guys
Am tiling a shower area and bath surround in an extension.
The walls are a mix of block work and studs.
Question is, in an ideal scenario what is the best construction/treatment for the walls? Where a wall is going to be plastered up to a wet area would you get the plasterer to 'feather'...
Hello, finally got around to getting my floor down, I've used 6mm hardiebacker on top of a new 18mm plywood sub floor.
Now I know the idea behind sticking the boards down with adhesive is to eliminate any unlevel/air gaps under the boards, however this floor is brand new and the bathrooms so...
Hi Guys.
I used to a lot of bathroom refits about 20 years ago then went onto the Gas Safe Register and more or less stopped doing bathrooms and basic plumbing, specialising in boiler changes and repairs. I am going to deregister this year so will be doing more plumbing and bathrooms but mostly...

Web site, pdf, and technical advice all seem sketchy..?
Any one know if the format has been changed...?
Hi all,
Got a tiler coming to tile my bathroom and seperate toilet in around 2 weeks, everything is prepped for him but for the hell of me i cannot decide what color grouting will go with the tiles i have chosen.
All walls and floor are to be tiled.
I like the look of white but am afraid of...
I read this interesting article recently. Its from Mapei USA but its still a good read. Most of us know this already but may be new for some-
There are a two main reasons you might not get the coverage you expected from an adhesive: Lack of surface prep and using the wrong trowel.
Let's talk...
Hello all, I have recently laid ceramic tiles in my hall, bathroom and kitchen(all the same tile) I have used Mapei black grout.
I have never sealed grout before but because it's black grout I was considering sealing it because of fading?
Any recommendations please?
