any ideas where I can get some long trowels from 5-600 long 5/10 deep.
Was fitting a bathroom with bad walls 300x600 customer just said get on with it do ya best her didn't want to listen to options so thats me covered. Was thinking (wile gettimg stress) a very long trowel would help get a level bed of adhesive.
Any ideas if I can get them

What adhesive are you using?

Cracked Tiles

Too much adhesive of the wrong type can cause more issues than it's worth.

Truth is, although the customer might say get on with it, you don't want to screw your reputation up just to cash in and get off the job.

Do it right and prep the walls properly.

How bad are we talking? Do you have any pictures?

I know a few landlords that'd treat all the jobs they have done a bit like that.

He supplied mapei rapid set. Did point out that it shouldn't go up that thick, I put a bit of easy fill up on one wall off my own back. What didn't help either all the tiles were warped 1.5mm joysss
