    What's the best way of finishing this?...

    12mm height difference - width of the door. Had to use 18mm ply in bathroom and 6mm cement board in hallway - different tiles but same thickness. Could I pack out most of the depth with cement board then use grout to profile the slope? Any other ideas?

    Finishing off touches question

    Hi All I've just completed tiling my bathroom after many weeks. I'm quite please with the overall result but not happy with one aspect-where the walls meet the ceiling there are a few dodgy cuts that have gaps which are just too large to silicon and leave a nice finish. I don't want to...

    I've got to tile onto floorboards so I'll be putting down 15 mm WBP board and screwing every 20cm etc. Once I've then added adhesive and floor tiles then the height difference between the tiled room and the carpeted floor in the hallway will be around 30mm. How do you finish this to make it...

    Natural stone tiling, finishing touches

    I enjoy tiling in natural stone & love seeing the finished product & the look on the customers face when they see it finished for the first time.

    Top edge of tile over tile finishing

    I am planning to tile over tile in a half-tiled cloakroom to cut down on mess and effort. This means I will have to disguise the double thickness top edge. Is there a professional way of doing this? Any advice most welcome.

    Bath panel - corner finishing?!

    Hello Tilers all, I'd be much obliged if some kind soul could advise me the neatest way to finish the corner of a tiled bath panel. The tiles are beautifully flush to the bath, however this means that even with edging trim the external corner protrudes beyond the curved corner of the bath...

    finishing off top row of tiles / ceiling

    Hi All Just finished tiling my bathroom and have started grouting. Just wondered what the best way of finishing off where the top of the wall tile meets the ceiling. I`ve left a 2mm gap up there. Should I put flexible grout in there or use some sealant ? Thanks

    Stone Tile Corner Mitres And Edge Finishing

    As stone has become more popular and specialist stone fixers are few and far between tilers take on a proportion of their work. Most stone work such as sealing and maintenance can be researched but on the odd occasion tilers come up against practices they are not trained for. One of these...

    Finishing between kitchen wall tiles and worktop

    How is this best done? I have seen many kitchens where the join between the worktop and the wall tiles is sealed with silicon, but this has cracked and peeled because, I suspect, of movement of the worktop. Anybody got any tips??

    Finishing off exposed edge of top row of tiles

    I have almost done a kitchen splash back. Decided not to use an edging trim on the top because the length was too long... So what's the best way to finish off the top row? Grout? Silicon, Caulk? or simply paint the top edges of the top row tiles to match the walls.

    Finishing Off.

    What is your method of finishing off a floor when you get to the skirting boards, i personally think Silicon should be kept for bathrooms and around wet areas such as sinks and baths. I think silcone would simply look out of place in a dining room, entrance hall or conservatories and skirting...
