    Metro Tile Edge Trim

    The only way to get over the different sizes (thickness)of the metros is to set out so the high part of the tile is always against the trim, both horizontally and vertically. Eg, working to the third of the tile, rather than half/full

    Best option for fixing backer boards to masonry wall

    I'd go for #1, board adhesive and screw, that's not going anywhere!

    Do I prime skimmed and bare plastered board walls before tiling?

    yes, use either SBR or acrylic primer. Your tiler should do the job and he will probably have his favorite, if he was going to go ahead without it, call a real tiler!

    Wall and floor prep - bathroom remodel

    1. T&G chipboard flooring needs replacing with 18mm ply - Current state of the T&G chipboard is unusable from water damage. Do I go with 2.4m x 1220mm or 1.2m x 610mm boards? Chipboard wants replacing with chipboard, same size (2.4x600), glue battens all around the perimeter to glue the edge...

    Plaster repair before tiling

    Either scrape right back and plaster skim or fit 3mm wedi boards on adhesive, I would definitely fit wedi boards and if the bath and basin need moving, just move them.

    acrylic primer, doesn't matter as long as it's flexible

    Tiling my bathroom help please.

    Yes, set a batten so there is just one cut under it, once the batten is removed, you can just use packers to the floor to level the bottom row up

    Bathroom floor - plywood or floorboards

    Just make sure the original boards are all fixed and secure then prime, lay 6mm aquapanel on flexible adhesive with screws and washers and you'r good to go, no reason to remove the boards to put more boards down. You could remove them and fit 22mm cement boards to the floor instead but it's...

    45 degree mitre KitKat tiles

    If you are brave enough to cut a perfect mitre 10mm wide over a length of 145mm 8 times it would look awesome! I am certainly not!

    Best practice for a large (120sqm) tiling job

    I'm not suitably qualified to answer most of this but ; 3. 8mm adhesive? maybe he means an 8mm trowel which will give a 4mm bed!

    Cracked floor tiles in Texas

    I'm guessing that the substrate has cracked, they should have been laid over a decoupling mat or laid over boards. Could be thermal expansion or subsidence. They look like Travertine which is very soft and brittle, I can't recommend a cure, think the floor will need redoing

    Large format tiles entire Ground floor through doorways.

    If I understand you correctly, you should remove the architraves and skirtings, then cut the bottom of the doorframe so the tile will slide underneath, then refit archs and skirtings. You will have to plan the layout so you will be able to lay at least two tiles in every doorway

    At my wit's end, please advise

    ...and yes, the floor needs to be taken up, you will never solve the springing tiles otherwise

    At my wit's end, please advise

    No point IMHO, better use 18mm cement boards or 18mm flooring with cement faced boards over. Ply will always creak as there is no way to bond the edges properly, tongue and groove flooring, bonded to floor joists (gripfill etc) and screwed, with pva glue on the joints will give a much better sub...

    the brick stud wall has no timber stud atthe end so you will need to screw/stick the wedi board on, so use some primer for belt and braces.

    Please give advice to a Newbie!!

    I would say Tilers are charging from £200 - 300 per day, probably more in London. I've worked with hex tiles before and they are not a quick job!

    eek! Perhaps a quadrant around the perimeter would look better but that is poor setting out!

    Alternative to decoupling matting for outside porcelain tiles?

    Good question! I have just posted a similar thread. I guess the lack of any answers says a lot, people just don't know! It's easy when some says their tiles have popped up, we can all say ahh you should have XYZ... ! As you posted in September, I'm guessing this is done now and it's gone...
