    I had a wet room installed just under four years back in a complete new build house. The wet room has now developed a minor leak. The fitter had used Wedi boards and some sort of glue on the top of them (sorry don't know my stuff that well) He has been out to have a look and says that with the...

    Rectified porcelain install needs fix

    We had 1,000 sq feet of 18x18 rectified porcelain installed. There are several spots where the installer screwed up and the edges are slightly lifted, just enough to be visible and sharp to bare feet. It's a real shame. He is looking into polishing the floor, but I am hesitant. The design looks...

    Updated a few things server-wise to fix some issues

    Hi people, You'd probably be aware of weird glitches in the forum when it comes to loading pages and replying to posts. The forum would lose connection to the server. This *should* be fixed now. I'm still testing, but it does appear to be okay now. We've upgraded the PHP version on the...

    Hi, A while back I did my first tiling job (DIY). I'm quite pleased with it. One problem I had was that I used a textured tile, and I found it quite hard to remove all the grout from the tile when cleaning up. I used too much water and as a result the grout I used (grey) has become washed...

    Fix Hollow Tiles - How to fix hollow tiles

    What options have you used when it comes to fixing hollow tiles? Is there something you can inject at all? Perhaps when underfloor heating has been commissioned a little too early and only a few tiles have suffered? Or would you just recommend a rip out and fresh start, just to be safe?
