the tile association

I know I've knocked TTA over the years for not supporting the tiler as much as they could do. But as I'm going around the web sorting out our own tilers directory, I do keep coming across the TTA Tilers Directory. https://www.tiles.org.uk/directory/?gloss_filter=ind-tile-fixers Their...

A couple of options perhaps, but they tend to come back to TTA. https://www.euf-federation.com/ http://cerameunie.eu/ http://www.worldceramictiles.org/

Alternative to The Tile Association (TTA)? We have no alternative to The Tile Association do we? So tiling is apparently only done to spec if you're a TTA member. "Or some other association". https://www.tilersforums.com/threads/bs-5385-part-1-2018-tiling-standards.89734/ So I'm wondering what...

Hi all, I'm a keen DIYer and about to embark on my first major tiling job, I've done a few bits and pieces before but nothing on this scale. I'll be tiling our kitchen & utility room between the worktops and wall units with terracotta tiles (Mexican glazed "Talavera" tiles, 4"x4") and I'm...

I was in Hampstead at the weekend trying to get some final images from the Bookmatch job. There's still a fair amount covered up, but this is some of it. Hopefully this link will work. :confused:

Bloody terrible to keep having these attacks. They're achieving nothing. RIP to those involved. Sharing a thought or two for their families.

The award for the worst looking tile in domestic situation for 2016 goes to..................Truly Amazing! in this day and age.

Anyone read Gary Walsh's review of the TTA and the TTA's reply in the Tile & Stone Journal? Nothing of any substance to refute the claim that the TTA does nothing for tile fixers, .......in essence,a long wordy reply which ignores some of questions Mr Walsh has raised? me thinks the TTA,just...

Hello I'm a DIYer that's never done any tiling. The silicone at the bottom of our shower was looking a bit ropey so I thought I'd cut it out and replace it. When doing that I noticed the grout in the bottom tiles was also looking a bit iffy so I decided to rake that out too. After I'd done...
