Evening peeps,
DIY SOS has finished filming today, build complete!
Wanted to recommend to everyone to get on the show.
I'll be honest its cost me a good deal of money to be involved. Well worth it in many ways. It was a huge job we undertook but it was for children in need, and more so...

Wall and floor tiling can often be seen as 'easy'. And the DIY sheds certainly make it seem so. Grab everything you need in one place, head off home, whack them up, job's a good 'un.
In reality it isn't quite like that. While the tiles may stay on the wall for a while, they're likely to fall...
Hi all,
Just had a look through some of the posts and some great information on here which I'm sure I'll be reading in more detail to hone my DIY tiling skills.
I also trying to see if there are any Ex-Military or Reservist tilers on the forum working in London - i'll post this in the...

Hi,
We are currently carrying out a self build wghich is now getting to the point where we need to start tiling. Thus far we have done almost everything ourselves, apart from the bricklaying and plastering.
We have done bits of tiling before, but never anything on this scale, as we have 3...

Hi, what grout and adhesive would you recommend to attach mosaic tiles to a fibre glass base in a decorative pond? It sometimes gets paddled in, no fish or plants. Also, I would prefer a dark grout (to avoid algae growth) and would also prefer ready mixed if it exists. It will be a DIY...

About a year ago a friend of mine was coming to the end of his new build house.
He asks me to take a look & give him a quote for the tiling he wants doing.
Gave him mates rates for labour,my full materials discount etc.
A while later he says the moneys running out & hes going to do it all...

Hi all, I'm in the process of building/renovating my house. I have had the pleasure of doing or being involved with all aspects of the build, as when I have had trades in they have come in with the understanding that they teach me then WE do the job. In this way I have learnt so much, I have...

Hi all,
I would like recommendation for a wet tile cutter for a DIYer who is attempting his first job.
I intend to lay 600x600 floor tiles so need a wet cutter that can handle this size tile. Also the possibility of resin quartz tiles being involved in the job.
Thanks

Hello.
My first post.
After having good search, these tiling forums are the best I have come across. There seem to be plenty of guys on here who really take a pride in their work.
I am refurbishing a bathroom in my own house. We really like the idea of using travertine for both the floor and...

Hi all.
I’ve tiled previously (ceramic tiles on walls only), with what I would deem as success. However, the more you read up on the subject, the more you find out there is to learn and so I want to do my current bathroom properly.
I’m about to tile above my bath, where there will...

I have a grey slate tile (Oppdalskifer, Norway) with natural surface (300x340x50mm, indoor use, without any wear). What could I use to make the tile much darker and at the same not being glossy.
I would prefer natural products, and I'm happy for DIY suggestions.
