    More boring pictures of what I’ve been up to lately.

    So over last few weeks I along with @Mark Frost have been on a project that @jonnyc had invited me on to. A new build in leafy Surrey, consisting of two extraordinarily large ensuites, his and hers, a downstairs cloak and a pool room bathroom to be done in a few weeks time. All in Flaviker 2.4...

    What the previous guy did

    As you've all been very helpful so far, I thought I'd 'repay' you by sharing a few pics of what the previous owner had done to the bathroom I'm now ripping out... I know you're all fans of a bit of dot and dab... Maybe needs a bit more coverage though for fire damaged plasterboard? :D When...

    Awkward DIY Tile round valve

    Hello, how do I go about tiling this area (photos attached)? I need to tile it before the fitter returns. The panel is screwed on but hasn't been plastered. Do I need to level it up with filler? How do I tile around the gaps near the valve? I am concerned about it being waterproof. Thanks, Jim
