    Tiles not aligning......

    As long as all the batches are the same calibre C2 you should be fine. They are a subsidiary of Pamesa so usually decent unless it is a seconds batch. Try tiling to a straight edge instead of spacers and adjust accordingly as you go?

    Tiles coming off easy and net set.

    Not a case of 'best' tubbed addy to use here. Due to the nature of the product it will take an age to dry if used over tanking. Why not use a standard set bagged adhesive. Tub life of 2 hours type thing? Will mean a bit of mixing but I honestly wouldn't advise a tub to use in this situation.

    Tiling trends and fashions

    Metallic is popular but will date. For people wanting something timeless they seem to be going back to Cream/Beige/Taupe from what we are seeing at the moment. Or a lot of cream chiseled edge Marble! Hopefully the plank/grey combination will be more timeless than the dreaded Metro (especially...

    @3_fall I haven't seen that tile in around 6 years im afraid. Had customers try to match it last year and went darker if I remember correctly. John where abouts are you trying to use these to match as I may be able to come up with an alternative design for you?

    Porcelain or ceramic for wetroom?

    Porcelain will probably give you your best choice in a floor and wall combination (possibly with a matching mosaic over the former if you want the extra grip). Ceramics perfectly fine for walls it mainly depends what "look" you are hoping to achieve. Personally I would have a little browse of...

    Tiling in hot weather

    Had a conversation with an adhesive company years ago about tiling in Barbados, their solution was to store the adhesive and the water in a walk in fridge thereby slowing the chemical reaction and making it easier to work with! How much longer are you out there @Ozzy?

    Applying primer - advice please :-)

    As it is only a patching job and its a rental (your landlord may actually be liable depending what caused the damage!) I would say a fix and grout will do the job (yes please don't shoot me but it is only a little patch job!). To stop it skinning over try a layer of cling film as soon as you...
