    Cracked Tile New Floor UFH

    He can drill the radiator notch out with a circular diamond hole saw which would prevent it from happening . I'd probably say it's only going to get worse over time. Up to you though

    Cracked Tile New Floor UFH

    Cutting any kind L shape can cause weakness from the point they meet. I wouldn't have grouted the pipe in either. Some caps would cover that up

    It's a stress fracture coming off that dodgy radiator notch

    Advice for a newbie

    I'd be using a 12mm minimum trowel on them and skimming the back, could even be tempted to use a 4/6mm trowel on the backs. Use a flexible standard set s1 adhesive, I tend to stick to white and just keep all my joints clean as I go. Easiest clip system is the premtool style ones you can order...

    Advice for a newbie

    Best tip you will get Martin is to get a pro in, that size of tile will require the right tools, not that I doubt your abilities but it's a fair old size to tackle DIY

    Damp patches on white floor tiles

    Do a test on a tile without laying it, that way you can also take a tile to the showroom to show them. If it is I wouldn't go in guns blazing and approach them in a polite manner as they could pass the buck to the tiler. Your ufh will most likely need replaced if it wasn't levelled over

    Mosaic woes

    You could try some adhesive/grout remover and an emulsifying pad but it will be hard to stop it eating into all that surrounding grout. Might take a while. Start off with it diluted

    How would you finish this???

    My last job had the exact same issue, my first plan was to double trim like Albert has said and caulk whatever was left but ended up trimming the tile as normal and putting the 12mm cut in. Took some rubbing down with a pad but looked much better.

    Ok so I made a mistake. Cutting a tile while it’s on the wall?

    Depending on just how much you need to trim you could probably use a drill bit /finger mill to get the excess of seeng as it's only ceramic

    which adhesive to use on t and g floor?

    The adhesive will be fine but you may be better off with a slower setting bagged adhesive. Ditto on the 6mm ply, use a backer board instead

    White bathroom tiles turning blue / grey?

    The lack of tanking (if not there) won't be causing the issue but equally wouldn't be helping in anyway as it would be protecting the tiled surface if it was there but yes you could have some issues with the gyproc behind if it that's what was used as the water will be wicking up it. Enquire if...

    White bathroom tiles turning blue / grey?

    It would be my first suspicion, especially the last image of where it doesn't meet the tile. Deeping on the location of that it will definitely be letting some water in. You could try stripping back the Silicon to help air it out as it needs re done anyway

    White bathroom tiles turning blue / grey?

    Can you see any voids in the Silicon sealant along the tray where it meets those tiles?

    Tiling onto green chipboard

    No need to prime, won't be going anywhere once it's screwed down. Adhesive is there to help fill any voids. If your unsure just prime it anyway for all it but I wouldn't.
