bathroom

I'm going to tile walls and floors of my bathrooms. It appears at the moment the walls are a single layer of painted plasterboard (ca. 12mm). What is your advice on how to prepare the walls for tiling? Is the plasterboard sufficient to hold the tiles or will I need to remove it and install...

Hello, I can cope with cosmetic problems but the tiler is 3/4 way through and I noticed he is using random blobs of cement not spreading it over the tile. There are big gaps between the tiles and the edges have no adhesive. It is behind sink and loo and around the bath and a new shower at one...

Hi I’ve just had new bathroom fitted and some of the tiling isn’t up to scratch. I don’t trust the guy who did it to rectify. If I get new tiler can they fix individual tiles or would the whole thing doing again? Some of the tiles are visible behind toilet so we’d have to remove it to...
