bathroom

Thanks for letting me join. I am approaching the end of a "on the tools" owner build. I have noticed there are two trains of thought... Tile floors first and then tile walls, or tile the walls first and then the floors... Advice on which way and why?

In 2014 I had my bathroom re-titled. I'm having my shower replaced and some of the tiles need to be replaced. The tiles on the wall are white gloss tiles 248mm x 328mm (purchased from ToppsTiles). The only size I can locate is 250mm x 330mm. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can get...

Hi Going to be helping with tiling the upstairs bathroom floor in a new house. Just bare flooring right now. I've read / watched just about every bit of advice from just using PVA to seal the boards first and then tiling directly on top with a flexible adhesive to putting down ply then backer...

Hi All, I'm looking to build my walk in shower soon but need some tips and advice on a couple things :). I was thinking of using schluter products to build my wetroom shower but the materials are coming out quite expensive when you start adding things up :rolleyes:. Can anyone recommend an...

Hi all, new member and my first post... I’m doing a full bathroom refurb. I last did it about 12yrs ago and that job lasted with no leaks or lifting or cracked tiles etc. But from some up to date research, previous job was all wrong. 6mm plywood screwed down on t&g floor boards, sealed with pva...

I am a part-time handyman - have done floor tiling before and small areas of wall tiling but never a whole bathroom. Have recently had 2 repeat customers come to me and ask me to do bathrooms for them. This first one is a straight bathroom swap-out on a top (4th) floor flat. The old bathroom has...

I'm about to start on a DIY ensuite installation and would like the floor tiles to be flush with the bedroom floorboards which are 21mm thick. I was thinking I could remove the boards in the new bathroom and something like Hardiebakker could be screwed directly to the joists, but am I right that...

Hi, I've layed No More Ply on my small bathroom floor ready for tiling. The sub floor was not perfect despite my best efforts, as it's old floor boards. I called No More Ply and they said just use more of the mega strength adhesive and it will expand to fill any small gaps. The NMP went down...

Hi guys, I'm currently re-tiling my own bathroom. My plan after ripping off the old tiles was to prime with sbr, level with rapid set adhesive, then start tiling. Looking at the wall I'm thinking I should take off all the plaster, then mechanically fix marmox boards onto a bed of adhesive...

My business is handyman but I regularly get asked to do tiling jobs. I have just been asked to tile a bathroom but have no idea how long it will take and therefore how to price it. Before I start I will need to remove the shower, shower screen, sink, toilet cistern, and radiator also I have to...

Hi -- I'd be very grateful for any advice anyone could give me. I'm a general contractor rather than a specialist tiler. I've installed bathrooms before in the course of general home renovation, so I've been able to get the floors up, fix and reinforce joists where necessary, and install...

Hi, I am going to tile my sons bathroom where most of the the skim plaster has come off when removing the few tiles there were and the rest of the bathroom is covered in artex, which is quite old and probably contains asbestos. Under the plaster is a very absorbent soft plaster, I asusme this...

Having trouble deciding how to move forward with my live-aboard narrowboat bathroom....I want to construct a shower to take up about half the space of the little room in the picture (there will be a third wall by then also walls will be primed and actually attached and the fire alarm removed) -...

New to the forum hi

Hello, I have a question on my bathroom subway tile job. I am very nervous and this is my first time so I want to make sure I get it right. I am installing 6" subway tiles and have attached a picture of my question. There is a lip where my tub bench is but the top of the tile doesn't meet to the...

Hi I am hoping to locate some yellow Cristal tiles. My dad is currently fixing up his bathroom and he is missing these tiles. He put them up in the late 70’s in the family bathroom and needs to fill in a few where they have fallen off. I would love to be able to get them for him as he is 80 this...

Hi all. Back end of last year we had a new bathroom installed with a walk in shower. About 6 weeks ago we noticed the bottom tiles around the shower tray were looking a bit off colour. It seems they have absorbed some water somehow. I have attached a pic so you can see. We decided to leave the...
