Thanks to many posters here, I've finally completed my bathroom.
It's only my second tiling job to date, the first being my en-suite. I hope it's my last though!}
So, thanks for all your helpful advice and tips.

What adhesive and white grout should this DIYer buy to patch small areas of tiling under two power showers ?
The first required where tiles have 'popped' away from a plastered brick wall - possibly because water soaked through cracks in grout.

After lurking on here for a while, I thought it best just to double check I'm planning this job correctly.

Primarily for cutting 10mm thick (450 x 315) Ceramic wall tiles. Rather subjective I know, but the Rubi Star-50-N PLUS is looking good. Would welcome any opinion, but I'm happy to invest up to £60 in one.
Many thanks - excellent forum/advice by the way.

Laying riven slate 300mm x 300mm tiles on a concrete floor that is nearly flat - and that is one bit that worries me.... there is a slight ridge, around 5mm...
