Welcome to the forum, glad you found us! What sort of tiles are you looking to use in your bathroom?

Thanks for the welcome Been tiling my own jobs for about twenty years. Mostly done kitchen splash backs and the odd bathroom. 90% of the tiles used were cheapo ceramics. Used mosics once when they first became available in the big DIY stores they were bloody expensive and i messed the job up. Went on ok but i messed up the grouting, the grouting went into all of the imperfects on the face. Not sure what they ere made of, you live and learn .

Not chosen the tiles for my bathroom yet, but I dont want to make the same mistake i made last time i tiled it. I used a tile from B&Q and it marked when i put bleach on it.
