Hi guys

Hi all - I've just done a DIY tiling job on new tiles using Mapei medium grey grout ultracolor 112 for the grout. I've used Mapei Ultracolor for loads of projects but never that exact shade, but have never had a problem before. Frustratingly it's dried with really inconsistent colour with some...

Had our patio guys grout our porcelain patio yesterday and have to say to say feel quite unhappy with the result. The colour is really uneven and looks like a coating of white on some grey areas. The consistency of colour just doesn't look right. I've called them back to come take a look.

Hi,
I'm currently working on a bathroom and have stripped the walls back to brickwork with lime mortar. For the shower area my plan is to dot and dab 20mm Jackoboard onto the brickwork with Mapei Keraquick before tiling. Does the brickwork need priming for the Keraquick? I understand PVA...
