    Big thanks to Topps Tiles and Tile Giant for Saving CTD Stores

    I know it wasn't all of them but it must have been all the ones that were working well that got saved. So I think Topps Tiles and Tile Giant need a massive thankyou from me personally on behalf of the forum. We have loads of tilers across the country who use CTD as they sponsored us for 3...

    Height difference big tiles/mosaic

    Hello I plan to tile our bathroom with 60x60 cm tiles (8 mm thick) and the shower (because of the slope from all sides) will be done with mosaic tiles (5x5 cm). After researching I came to the conclusion that the big tiles will be done using buttering-floating-method (trowel 10 mm on the floor...

    Contractor did not use recommended adhesive over old tiles - how big a problem?

    I am part-way through having retrofit underfloor heating installed (the panel type) and in a couple of rooms it is going down over old vinyl tiles which contain asbestos (so we decided not to disturb them). We had the old tiles checked by a tiler and he said they were sound enough for the panels...

    Dot and dab in bathroom big porcelain tiles is it ok?

    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...

    Big bit of ply, or cut into smaller bits?

    Hi I am redoing our bathroom. I'm going to be laying 18mm plywood on the joists (16in centres, with noggins) and tiling on that using a decoupling membrane (Ditra 25). My plywood is 2440x 1220mm. Is it better to lay the plywood in one big sheet or cut it into smaller sheets with 3mm gap...

    Where do you guys buy quality tiles? Please..

    Hi all, No doubt a simple question for many so hoping for some advice. I'm at a complete loss as to where I should be buying quality subway/metro tiles. I was going with Topps and then I read some bad stories regarding quality. CTD has plenty, but I've no idea of the quality. Then there's...

    Big gaps in shower wall grout

    I’ve just had a tile shower installed and went to clean it for the first time after it’s been installed. Haven’t used it yet. When I was cleaning I’ve seen a few big gaps in the grout in a couple of the lines. Also around the window the grout is all cracked and completely missing in most cases...

    Are These Tiles Too Big?

    Hi, I'm getting some tiling done tomorrow. The bathroom is about 7 x 7 feet. The tiles I've bought are 248mm x 498mm. I know zero about tiling so wondering if these tiles are an appropriate size or too big. Going across the room would be about 4-5 of them. It seems to be the style these days...

    Cutting down a big tile into smaller

    Bit of a funny one. Not something I have messed with before. In the small amount of tiling I have done, cut edges have always been hidden in corners.

    My big plank job - cement based screed

    It's been a couple of weeks of hard graft and I'm glad it's over. Forget the name but it was a Tarmac cement based screed. Nice and flat, first big pour that I've encountered that actually had movement joints built in. When I first went to look they had been back to repair one crack. There was...

    Big floors, big trowels

    I've seen these large trowels for flooring on most tiling tool sites, does anyone use one? Do they make trowelling faster and more consistent ?

    I (DIY'er) am going to tile my bathroom and en suite and have purchased 600 X 600 porcelain tiles. Initially after reading many posts on here I was going to get a DeWalt d24000 but I can't justify the cost as I'm not a tiler plus the missus would probably use it on me if she found out the cost...
