I've had serious problems with a tiler I found on mybuilder and what I've been left with is a bathroom floor which has a heck of a lot of movement and the grout has all cracked.
It's a high water area so obviously I'm extremely worried and it all has to be ripped up. It's a tiny space - only 18...

I had a couple small spots of mildew between grout and caulk at the edge between the bottom tile and the top edge of the porcelain shower floor, so hired a repair person to clean this up. I had tried to do this myself but when I tried to remove the caulk, the grout came off in bits the size of...

Hi, any advice on tiling over a crack 750 wide? Basically there's a 300 resess to the back door and it seems as the builder has patched in the concrete in the small area to the existing original concrete floor after the new back door has been fitted. It also sounds pretty hollow. I know I could...
so I'm currently undertaking a project at the moment with 1800 x 800 x 10mm Florim porcelain.
This tile is harder than Ray Winston and Bob Hoskins rolled in to one! :)
Anyway my point is that it's extremely brittle, as hard as it is.
One piece in particular was giving me sleepless nights when...

I moved into a new build home 7 years ago with tiled flooring and underfloor heating on the ground floor. The kitchen and patio was tiled in travertine; the remainder in porcelain tiles.
After a year hairline cracks appeared in several of the travertine and I had the tile company inspect the...
Hi All,
Is probably not the problem I would like to talk about but looks like me and my dad mess something up with my bathroom flooring …
Floor was put down about 3 weeks ago and yesterday I noticed some tiles do have cracks.
Tiles are cappuccino marble and subfloor is wood boards 15mm on...
Hi all just got my upstairs bathroom all tiled couple of months back. Where the floor tile meets the wall tile all the grout has started to crack all around the bathroom. What's causing this to happen and how do I fix it
Hi,
About a year ago I got my kitchen tiled by a professional tiler. The tiles have started to crack along the joins of the 18mm WBP. The WBP was put down by myself. Looking back I have realised I laid it wrong - the long long crack is where the Plywood is 90 to the floorboards and not the...
So I've returned to a job today to put some tiled skirts on and I see hairline cracks on the floor! Only in grout lines. 30m2 floor 600x600 porcelain tiles double buttered with tile master rapid setaflex onto dura Matt and using grout 3000. Floor was Alfa hemi hydrate that's been moisture tested...
Hello,
I have a cracked ceramic floor tile (discontinued and no spares to replace) which because the underneath was no solid and a chair leg was put on it caused a large star-type crack across it in all directions. As a temporary fix, until I can find some, I thought I could pour some thin fluid...

Have posted for replacement porcelain floor tiles that have been discontinued without success, so wondering if it's possible to invisibly repair them? Floor was laid when house was built in 2007 on concrete rafts(?) but cracks didn't appear until around 3 years ago, which is puzzling - there...

Hey people
Been a long time since i was last on here!
I've had a customer come back to me with some cracked tiles in his bathroom. Its 12mm no more ply, I've called them and apparently it has to be glued on the joins AND to the stud work, who knew?
Anyone else had any issues with this? I've...
Hi all just asking if anyone else has come across selflevelling compound cracking and what they have done about it.
The floor in question is an old farm house and was a mixture of concrete and old type tiles but as walls had been removed these were all at different heights hence levelling.

Hello,
Some days ago our conservatory floor has been tiled and skirting board has been affixed by a handyman (paid after completion), and now there are already cracks between the tiles (see 4 photos below, normally all the other joints "only" have little hair-line cracks).
Here a list of all...
Just wondering what peoples preferences on these were. I have used Ditra, Durabase and Bal matting and just wondered what everyone else prefers/thinks is best.
Good morning all,
Been to see a job and the grout on the bathroom and showroom floor is beginning to crack. It's on a timber floor with a decoupling membrane ( deco matting I think it is called )
There is a section not tiled and the matting seems well stuck.i asked to
