Tiling a soon to be gutted bathroom. Porcs on think plaster skimmed concrete block. (Weight limit only a tad over, tiles at about 18.5kg and add 2-5 for adhesive? so about about 22kg in total i guess).
Now, the question please if I may: Im inclined to want to tile all floor and and all walls...
Using wedi style backer board for tiling bathroom floor. Will be a standard bath going in & wondered do you just board up to where the bath will go, leaving the bath to just sit on the floorboards or board the whole floor and site the bath on the backer board too?
Thanks

Hopefully you experts can help me out. We have a plumber booked and our friend is a plasterer/decorator and has done a lot of tiling (he did a great job of all our other tiles but he’s never come across the giant tiles we have bought, and I want to be specific about how we fit them!)
We’re...
Hi, I am battening out the far end of a corridor shaped bathroom to hide pipes/waterfall filler. The corner bath will take the whole width of the room.
Plan a was to hardi the wall, then batten onto the hardi to support the edge of the bath
Plan b after reading the forum was to also tank it...
Hi all,
Took down some old tiles in my bathroom and plasterer came round to plaster the walls with gypsum thistle bond plaster, was going to plaster myself but it would have been the first time so i thought i'd watch someone instead - i know this plaster is not good when it comes to water (from...

Quick one to check I'm on the right track -
I'm planning to do a tiled bath panel (with access panel using some Schluter magnets). Am I right in thinking I should have cuts below the bath rim and cuts down onto the floor?
It'll be about 560 mm high, tiles are 200 mm high, so I'm thinking to...
I was watching a film on Youtube about installing a Schluter Kerdi-Board wall beside a bath. You will notice from the attached picture that the installer is about to install a Kerdi-Board from the bath up.
Do you think it would be okay to install the Schluter Kerdi-Board wall first from the...

I had assumed that when tiling on the long wall beside a bath that the bath would be installed and tiling would commence from the bath up.
A tiler informed me that he usually tiles from the floor up first, then once completed, the bath is installed. It means if the bath is changed to a new bath...
I was just wondering which of the many options you would use when putting up new board on the wall which runs the length of a bath with an overhead shower above the bath?
That is, a wall currently with nothing attached to the stud.
Options appear to be putting up ordinary plasterboard, or...
Hi
I have tiled the whole of my bathroom and just have the bath panel to complete.....it is a short bath, we have built a wooden frame for it and wish to tile in the same as the walls. The tiles are smooth metro 50x200 that are in a half bond pattern.

Hello,
I wonder if anyone would mind advising if the thickness of sealent applied around my bath is normal? My concern is that it's been applied so thick to fill in a gap between the tiles and the bath.
Many thanks in advance for the help and advice.
Hi,
Your advice please.
I wish to tile part way under a bath so the side/end panels will be in contact with these tiles.
Its a P shaped bath.
The tiles are 9mm, what distance should I allow for with the adhesive and tile so the panels just touches the tiles.
Thanks
Bob
