Bit stumped on this one. Just about finished tiling bathroom. However, the corridor floor is yet to be done and, therefore, finished height is unknown. It's probably going to be a floating timber floor but materials have yet to be bought. Any suggestions on how to finish the threshold? I don't...

Hi Forum, I'm 75% through tiling my kitchen with 600mm x 600mm tiles. So far - so good. My question is, how far up to the door do I lay the tiles? The door opens inwards into the kitchen, and on the other side will be laminate wooden floor. Does the threshold go directly in the middle under...

Hi, I had my bathroom updated however the builder disappeared before finishing it. The tiling has been completed but there is a gap of 1.5cm around the door frame and the wall tiles. What would I use to fill this gap please? Thank you

Finished the job and was taking my tools outside to the car. The wheels of my Sigma cutter just clipped the door and took a 20mm chunk out of it. That sick feeling came to my stomach. Customer not too happy, but these things happen she said. New door was fitted a few weeks ago at a cost of...

Hi All, I am hoping to get some opinions regarding my Wet-Room design. Essentially I have a corridor shaped downstairs cloakroom that currently has a regular shower tray and horrid fabric screen. I am about to install a new bathroom suite but want to find a way to make that room look bigger...

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...
