Hello all, I have been a bit reckless over the years with my bathroom in the past 2-3 years and it show with the pic I have shown. I tried some products to clean these dirt stains that look deeply embedded into the tiles. I couldn't find any thread that fit this topic but is there any way...

Hi I'm going out to price a conservatory floor today. Customer wants electric ufh. Floor is concrete. I was going to lay marmox then wires covered in slc. Is ditra overkill or would you use it? Tiles will be either ceramic or porcelain.

These tiles have always been of pretty poor quality but, the ones I've been fitting this week have been a sizing nightmare! I don't understand how there can be such a size variation from one tile to the next. It's kind of ironic that the HD range are supposed to be at the forefront of tile...

I have had a re-wire done and don't want to go to the expense of totally re-tiling the kitchen and was wondering if anyone can help me source these tiles which were purchased about 15 years ago, even if anyone could just supply a name or make that might help me in my search. I am looking for...

This may seem and odd question...but when I did a tiling training course, we were taught when cutting out say a piece to make a tile look like an "L" ie cutting block out of a corner, was to use a wet cutter to cut shortest cut and score the longest and use nippers to snap it off. Due to...

Hi All, I have a small 80cm x80cm homemade table (indoor) with a plywood top which I want to tile with some small ceramic tiles 15cmx20cm. This is the first time I've attempted tiling, so need some advice on the best adhesive and grout to use? I was planning on getting some readymix stuff...

Hi guys, Been reading the helpful advice here but now need some of my own! I had a tiler in to do my bathroom and long story short he started then disappeared citing family problems. Not much I could do except carry on where he left off and decided to finish myself as had all the tiles and...

I am using a Rubi TR-700-S dry cutter to cut ceramics but they are constantly chipping as shown in the attached image. The chip is always where the paddles press to break the tile along the cut. Any tips to avoid this please?

After my previous post about BCT crazing. I said I would never use them again, but just completed a job I was unaware of manufacturer until I noticed that a lot of the tiles were bowed. Seriously, I mean I will post some pics later this week just to show you how bad. I'm all for british...

Basically I have a job for an old couple and as charming as they are, they are very sinical about tilers and quite frankly i don't think my usual tiler isn't up for the job. walls are going back to brick and being plastered and dukker boarded where appropriate so will be tiling off a fresh...

After a bit of advice with tiles that have just been fitted. I'm using British Ceramic Tiles (Not my choice) Had an initial problem with somer tiles being 2mm different in size. But now Im finding the ones that Iv'e fitted are starting to craze. There were a few in the boxes that were crazed but...
