    Had to laugh...

    Just had this pop up on my Facebook feed from B&Q telling you how to tile herringbone with metros. They can't even spell trowel!

    What do you think of these tiles?

    Just doing a bathroom at the moment, and used some interesting tiles that I haven't seen before, they were a bit of a pain to cut, as they have fake grout grooves in them, so couldn't score them to cut, had to angle grind every one! I think they look quite good when down though, what do you...

    Sigma 2G rocking

    I found a sigma 2G cheap on eBay, "never used brand new tile cutter" £55, so bought it as thought it was a good price. After receiving it, it was clear it had been used, but more annoyingly, it rocks quite badly from side to side, surely this isn't normal? Spoke to the seller who said it...

    Tanking Hardie

    Got a job to quote for a customer who has specified that she wants the floor tanking. It's not a wet room or anything but she wants belts and braces approach, which is fair enough. The subfloor is t&g floorboards, so was thinking of overboarding with 6mm Hardie and then tanking with paste and...

    Tiling Above Bath In A Recess

    Hi all, I usually tile down to to the top of baths after fitting them, but in this situation the bath is an exact fit in the space it's in, and has a plastic side panel. If I tile down to it, then the tiles down the sides of the bath will stop the bath panel from being removed afterwards...

    Where To Start With This One?

    Hi guys, Just started a job today ripping an old shower out, was planning on using plasterboard/tile backer and then tanking but have discovered many potential problems. The plastered wall is soaking wet near the bottom, just crumbles away when you rub it. The battened wall, has old tiles...

    Tiles On Chipboard

    Here's a bathroom I ripped out recently, the floor was chipboard and hardboard, completely soaked through and leaked through causing a huge hole in the ceiling below. Why do people do it?! Ended up replacing the entire floor with 25mm WBP ply.

    Hi All :)
