Hi all, I've got a bathroom fitter starting on my bathroom he's put Hardiebacker all around the bath area, he was going to put hardiebacker at the bottom and middle and plasterboard at the top but I asked for full cement board. He's used 6mm hardiebacker, which I believe is for the floor but...

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...

Hi everyone, this is my first post so thank you for reading my question. I am looking to purchase the British Standard for tiling but am a little unsure of which one I should purchase and as they cost so much money I am keen not to purchase the wrong one. I would like it to cover workmanship for...

Hello all, I have just taken the tiles off the wall behind my sink and some plaster has come off (see pics). Please could someone recommend a product to repair ready for the new tiles? Many thanks

Had a tiling company in to get rid of some glass wall mosaic tiles, redo with green ones. In the process of removing the old they’ve damaged the ceiling (see photo - it’s some sort of plasterboard covered with waterproof paint) and have pumped in a load of silicone to try and mask it. Actually...

Help with mould! Hi. I'm sorry to be so ignorant but could do with some advice. Some of my bathroom tiles started to fall out slightly so I removed the bottom row (above bath). There was quite a bit of black mould...I suspect from condensation/poor ventilation. I have a tiler coming soon to...

Had wet system UFH installed on a concrete subfloor to the whole ground floor ie living room, kitchen and hallway (40 sqm). UFH Panels were laid down that contain grooves for the UFH pipes to sit in. The plumber used an adhesive to fix down. It was then latexed over using around 3 mm thickness...

Hi there, I’m not an experienced tradesperson by any means, so wanted to pose a question on here for peoples thoughts. My partner and I found a tiler in December, to tile the whole ground floor of our new build house. We were initially quoted the following: - Installing wood effect...

I had my bathroom done in September and my floor tiles have movement in them and the grout is constantly cracking. I'm at my wit's end as this isn't the only issue I've had with the bathroom and the builders have been back out several times to sort things out. Most notably a leak from the...

Hi, I’m not a tiler - which is why I have one in working away on my new kitchen floor! However I struggle to see the floor lasting very long due to the amount of void under the tiles. I raised my concerns with the man in charge of the project who said the tiler has since explained that he will...

My newly tiled bathroom wall has presented a few issues in the last few days. Some of the tiles appear to be popping off with cracked grout lines and where this has occurred there is some bowing of the wall. I also have a tile in the bottom left corner that has cracked down the surface. This is...

Hi all, I’ve recently had my shower tiled and am very unhappy with the result. As the tiler was putting the tiles on, I told him that I was unhappy with it but he said that he would make any last tweaks before he grouted. He made some changes and then finished the job and it’s shoddy. I’ve paid...

My tiled bathroom floor is new but I have moisture seemingly seeping up through the grouting in some places. The affected grouting has taken on an orange colour with crystallised minerals of some kind in it. The floor is wooden floorboards, with some kind of baseboard on top (not sure of the...
