    Slight chipping on porcelain tile

    that doesn’t look too bad considering the tile itself has got some light and dark grays in it. If you were using a dark gray grout you could just fill in where the chips are I bet you wouldn’t even notice it. Because most of the chips seem to be on the dark gray areas. BTW that looks a really...

    Important Changes to Tiling Standards

    I think you're being over critical, you chose the worst grout possible for those tiles, and it's shown up in the ceiling. I've seen worse. Are there other walls done, around a window maybe, to see what cut would have bee left on the head/sill? That sliver (I wouldn't even call it that, I've...

    And that's where I was. £30 a metre, and if I recall rightly you then said you wouldn't have done it for that price. Or was I misunderstanding. Anyway he never got back to me so he must have got someone at £20.

    Tiling Rates Per Square Meter - How much does tiling cost?

    What's the "inc". If your on £250 a day and £50 psm you're knocking out 5 mtrs or there abouts a day? Lets say your on 10 mtrs. (and that's really slow in my opinion) your pocketing £500 a day, nice going.

    Tiling Rates Per Square Meter - How much does tiling cost?

    I work mainly multi apartment sites. Last one was getting £15 a mtr, 49 bathrooms on a floor, 7 floors. Just moved onto another one 36 bathrooms on a floor, 7 floors, getting about £18 for those. All gear lifted up to loading bays on the floors and all you do is wheel the stuff into your rooms...

    What brand of Tile Cutter do you use Poll 2017

    Got to say I've had Rubi all my life until tiles got bigger and thicker. I then moved onto Tomocanic but they went bust when I needed a new big cutter. The Siri Pro range is the best I've had. Nicely built all metal construction and almost every part is replaceable. SiriPro 90 Manual Cutter |...

    Loose floor tiles on Ditramat

    This is from Schluter "The recommendation of 28 days is to allow for movement and shrinkage to take place in the green screed. But using Schlüter®-DITRA 25 actually means you can get on to the screed much earlier. Depending on the weather and time of year it could be as little as a couple of...

    tilemaster light weight adhesive

    I've used it on walls before, I prefer bagged to ready mix anyway because you can mix it up to suit what you're fixing. N ice and easy on the arm and mixes up well. I've been advised not to use it on natural stone though

    300x100 tiles free hand

    6mm notch onto new plasterboard using Johnsons 300x100 and Bal White Star I think, could have been any old stuff Walls and Floors supplies. Comb horizontal, place tile onto tile below, slight push and lift. We were doing 30 odd mtrs a day each, wouldn't have got anywhere near that with having to...

    300x100 tiles free hand

    Myself and another tiler did 5K mtrs of 300x100 for Winvic. We didn't use one spacer on the whole job. It helps if you're doing brickbond because you can straighten any imperfections as you go by placing the next course against the previous then lifting 2 mm. Laser the wall, work to that, do...
