    Tilemaster Tilemaster grout 3000 new formula

    Thanks. The normal white wall grout? No Topps around here, but I'll have a look what I can get posted (£20 delivery - ouch!). Thanks. I'm struggling to find this, although the description here looks good. https://www.tileexperience.co.uk/mapei-keracolor-ff-grout Will see if any of the sponsors...

    Tilemaster Tilemaster grout 3000 new formula

    Asked this elsewhere, but I take it this stuff isn't suitable for a slow DIYer any more? Could anyone recommend an alternative please?

    Grout for a newbie, 23x40 tiles, & layout

    Slight change of plan - cost of delivery for Biogel looks prohibitive, plus I really don't need that much. Need something suitable for quartzite mosaics and ceramic tiles.

    delurks Hi, My late mother did an 'interesting' tiling job, and I now want to make it look a little more finished. There's pics on this thread: Bathroom with peach suite - colour scheme to update please? -...

    Cutting U Shape Bit From Tile

    Not sure if this link will post, but I'm guessing this technique is not achievable with porcelain tile, even with a decent pair of nippers?

    How to tell if you're buying decent tiles online?

    I've read here similar comments about BCT and Homebase tiles. Didn't realise until today that they were one and the same - was looking at some spares that my sister dropped off in Homebase packaging - flipped them over to see 'British Ceramic Tiles' on the underneath. (No, I won't be using them...

    Bath trim and resealing advice please .

    Sorry for the silly question, but do you just not use trim any more? Or do you use something else? Thanks.

    Bathroom Shower Tile Repair Job - Advice needed

    By 'tile glue', do you mean tile adhesive (like cement)? Or Silicon (the rubbery stuff)? I'd use tile adhesive to stick the tile back, leave the whole floor to dry for as long as you can (can you spare a few days?), then regrout. And once the grout is dry, apply Silicon where needed. My...

    Small kitchen tiling job for a newbie - suggestions appreciated

    My worry about the sockets is that they were too close to the cooker - I thought there was a 300mm minimum - and possibly too low. It may also be easier for tiling if they were one block, rather than two. A google reassures me that the 300mm is guidance rather than regulation, but still...

    Small kitchen tiling job for a newbie - suggestions appreciated

    Oh. I am such an idiot. :oops: I've repaired that hole since and it didn't even clock that it's plasterboard. How weird. Well, all the 'other' walls are chipboard. (Or are they?) So, if I strip the wallpaper off and prime it, I don't need the backer board? Projects on the go? I only have this...

    Small kitchen tiling job for a newbie - suggestions appreciated

    Ah. I was wondering if anyone would notice that. It's the window trim. I was going to leave it off, but the sill isn't level. I've had the trim cut down to compensate, so hopefully, the tile gap will be even. There is a slice of gypsum plasterboard under the window, but all the other walls are...
