cut

I'm not a tiler. Hope that's OK! We had a new kitchen, and the builder laid the porcelain tiles. After he'd finished (and we'd paid him), we saw the line by the living room door wasn't straight. He apologised, and offered to cut it straight with an angle grinder, but he can't get to the edges...

Had a tiler come round to give a quote for tiling my bathroom. I have 60x60 porcelain to go on the floor and wanted them envelope cut into the wetroom tray. The guy was very against the whole thing and said I should only really be using mosaic. I've spent quite a few weeks reading these...

Hi, we have a bit of a problem, just installed a Climatech system in kitchen through to downstairs bathroom - we think the installation in the kitchen's fine as my boyfriend did it with my step-dad, then had to go to work so left step-dad to go through to bathroom. Unfortunately, he seems to...

Relayed a bathroom floor today after cracks started appearing in the tiles, the customer lost the details of the tiler that done it originally so could not call them back, He had laid hardi on top of floorboards and the cracks were appearing where the hardi boards joined after close inspection...

I'm soon about to tile my kitchen diner floor. I have a couple of questions... Firstly, what sized notched trowel should be used for 600x300 porcelain tiles being laid on a concrete floor? Secondly, the room has one challenging part, and that's a metal post that supports an overhead beam. It...

Was having a thought today, is there any reason why the dewalt, or any other wet saw for that matter, can't be used without water? Surely with the right blade it would be possible. I'm not planning on doing it, the dust would be mental! Just thout with winter coming up and the water in the wet...

Hello I need to replace a shower mixer valve that will involve some new pipe work and fittings which in turn will involve removing a section of wall tiles so I can get to the pipes. What I would like to do is remove a section of tiles from ceiling to floor and about .5 metre wide then making...

Hi, I'm having one end of my bathroom made into a wetroom, I have a retired professional tiler to do the job, unfortunately wetrooms were not in vogue when he was working, so he's are following the instruction leaflet. Everything's gone well so far, the subfloor drain and the marine ply...

I have been trying to source a "shield" "double bent" tile for over a week now and it looks like I may have to find flat tiles to match age and color and then cut the "V" shape out of them. I will probably have to do this by hand, any guidance on ensuring I don't spend longer picking up the...

A customer is thinking of installing 600 x 400 marble tiles along walls and floor in their wet room installation. Are these tiles likely to be solid marble? If so, is the only way to cut these with a wet cutter? Finally, how long would you expect it taking to tile a rectangular wet room...

Hi, I am new to this and have a wet tile cutter. It seems to be working brilliantly for 99% of the cut (8mm ceramic floor tiles) but on the last part of the cut it keeps cracking the finish and chipping the corner off. I am trying to feed the tile slowly through the cutter but I am not sure...
