Anyone going to be following this? I don't like football much but last night caught some of the game England played against Scotland. England won 6-0 which I thought was great! Haven't seen the mens team do that recently! :p

Well, I was sent one to review by a member on here @Lucas D and yes his post was right, it's a great float, very slim and light with a great sharp rubber edge which removes grout very well, I can't comment on its durability but if it lasts ok I'll probably get another.

just had the pleasure of using a kubala 10mm notched trowel, I found it lighter than my Rubi trowel. It was easier to clean as it's made of stainless steel and the handle is all plastic. I've only used it to lay 10m2 of floor tiles but will post another review in a few weeks time to see how well...

I received a kubala grout float to try and give a review. In comparison to my Rubi float it had the same footprint size. But I noticed it was a lot lighter and it looked thinner. I used it to grout 3.5m2 of floor tiles and found it incredibly light in my hand and was leaving very clean lines. I...

Hello, looking a rough price to tile hall kitchen and utility floors with a Porcelin indian slate 50x30cm. I have everything here and have tiled the rest of the house myself but my back is bust and this needs done. Floor is Gypsum based (with ufh) and has been down for 3 years and primed, very...

I've been tiling for last 16 years or so. I've noticed that pro tilers use great tile cutters but often overlook hand tools. How often you bought trowel that lasted 2 jobs? I sometimes struggled with bad grout float for weeks. It all changed when I started to use Kubala tools from Poland. In...

Hi all, As the title suggests really. I'm tiling a shower area above a bath using Bal SPF and noticed the instructions say you shouldn't use a shower for 2 weeks afterwards. Seems a long time to ask the tenant not to use his shower after it's finished-is it really necessary to wait that long...

good evening all, I have always used Bal Micromax2 grout. Lately i have been having issues with the coloured grouts drying patchy. No matter what i do i can't stop it. So I'm thinking of changing to Tilemaster 3000 grout. Has anybody changed from bal because of the grout being patchy...

Hi. I am looking to use a coloured BAL sealant (Micromax) to finish off my wet room. Within the spec sheet it states ' (a) Do not use shower for at least 2 weeks after completion of grouting – BS 5385:Part 4' And in another section it mentions a minimum of 7 days to use the shower. Walls...

Hi I usually use Bal grip plus tile adhesive but my client is buying Mapegrip D2 tile adhesive. I have not used the Mapegrip D2 before. I am tiling a whole bathroom including the shower area. The Mapegrip D2 looks ok Does anyone have any comments Thanks Paul

Can I mix match these brands

The wife wants to renew kitchen wall and floor tiles and we have been looking for a few weeks now. I don't get to pick :( I just have to fix them! She still hasn't found what she wants so we were into Topps tiles today, one that I have never been in and for a change had on normal clothes and...

Hello. I am looking for a suitable grout for a bathroom which contains a wet shower area. I was looking at the BAL range of grouts and felt MicroMax 2 (gunmetal shade) would be suitable but given the many types BAL advertise I wasn't sure it was the best choice. I had thought to use the same...

Just grouted this floor this morning and noticed this started to happen,I used bal gun metal,mixed as stated on the bag,anyone else had this problem

Seems BAL are giving this forum lark another go. 4 admins, 18 or so moderators. 40 threads. That's two threads each to moderate. And most of the threads have no replies, and are nearly all done by staff. Their attempt to get the PVA v Primers discussion going shows why it's hard for a company...

as above , got an 80mm sand and cement screed to tile, been recommended I use an acrylic primer to help the adhesive bond with the slab. Went to topps tiles today and asked for acrylic primer, got home and realised they have given me bond, it does say can be used to seal screeds, but just...

Anyone else not enjoying the new 10kg grout bag? Can stand it myself. Diggy

Just wondering what peoples preferences on these were. I have used Ditra, Durabase and Bal matting and just wondered what everyone else prefers/thinks is best.
