Won my argument with the lad in the pub then. Obviously need to update my work methods on this one

I've obviously had my head in the sand on this one after all these years! So why not PVA and what do you all use? Surely new plaster needs priming one way or another?

What you using then?

Bit of a quick straw poll here. I still Polybond new plaster with watered down pva before tiling. Always have, always will. Who else does? Having an argument with a smart arse builder "who's been tiling for years" who says its not needed. Your thoughts please. Cheers :beermug:

Have you got the gout pills to hand?

First normal Friday of the new year. Anyone trying one tonight or is everyone still in detox?

But its all experience I suppose

White titan gris apparently. You know the more I think about this, the more I don't want the job.

Tell me about it. I don't know what's wrong with people

If it was a standard white suite yeah, cracked pan equals a trip to Travis Perkins. This is an Avocado, been in since the house was built, went out with the Betamax, not seen one for yonks pan. If I break it I'm in it deep. Hence tiling around it

Mega. Never seen that before

Instead of cutting the curve in one go, do a section and check your not wandering off line? Template, never thought of that one!

Hello oh knowledgeable ones. The handful of bathroom floors I've done previously have been new installs, bogs been easy to lift to tile under or plumbers been there to remove it for me. Job in the new year is round the existing suite which looking at the state of the screws holding the pan...

No nonsense Silicon remover from screwfix. Works for me everytime. Bang it on, have a brew while it kicks in, scrape away

Get the impression that the cordless is generally the way to go. Will wait till mine burns out then invest in a 18v jobbie

Just purchased the Porsadrill kit and on first use I'm chuffed to bits with it. Guides work well, nice clean hole, no mess, top job! Just wondering what everyone uses to power their bits though. Put mine in an 14volt cordless. Although this is slow and not mega powerful, its just a nice speed...

Scored it, bigger score with the grinder, ran it through the wet cutter. Not perfect but customers happy with the finish, I thank you all. Off for some more practice with the grinder

Gents a mahoosive thank you, I've been stumped all afternoon. Photo doesn't show it well but edge of tile is beyond the bar. Grinders coming out tomorrow. Thanks for the advice

Side bar is removable but then your free handing with no guide. I might be being ocd here but is that acceptable?

All. I'm trying to cut a 330 x 330 square tile diagonally into 4 pieces, to fit round a wetroom grid. Dry cutting doesn't give you a grout joint, so want to use wet cutter. On my cutter you can't use the guide, see photo, as the tiles too wide and at 460 diagonal its too wide for the bigger wet...
