Hi I am thinking of starting up my own tiling business, after many years of working as a fully qualified tiler, tiling and fitting bathrooms I want to branch out therefore I wanted to ask for any advice that other self employed tilers may have.
My main concerns are..

Hi Everyone,
We were just going through some items in the office and we found this.
A brand new Rubi TS20,
One of the guys in the office brought this about 6 months ago.
I wish they were still available for the days where we used to just use the 150x150 bumpy whites.

Pop up tables
Ats blades
Laser level
Tilemaster adhesive
Probably more, but can't remember
what size cutters do you have and use regular?
I always had rubi 400 and 600 and that's covered everything,but since getting the sigma 3c3m im looking to get a smaller one as well. Have you got a cutter for every occasion?
Reading through some of the threads lately, and I clocked that now we are really well established, the comfortablity of sharing knowledge is also established.
So back in the day a tiler perhaps wouldn't have shared something that he thought his local competitor (fellow tiler) wouldn't have...

Hi all,
Just had the bathroom floor tiled - well almost , the builder walked off after a disagreement.
The floor job is 8 square metres of ceramic tiles on a plywood boarded wooden floor. It was primed and I think PVA was used.
The adhesive is Mapei Rapid Set flexible.
The builder left his...
Hi All,
Apologies as I'm a novice and unsure if this is the same issue.

So if you had the chance to go with Bill and Ted to ANYWHERE in History and ask just ONE person ONE question.
WHO would it be and WHAT would you ask?
For me it wouldn't be that far back in time actually, only as far as back as 2012
I would want to talk to Felix Baumgarter, who at the time did...
It's starting to get confusing with so many forums using similar domain names to our own. So to help stop the confusing I've edited our email colours and they now look like this.
So those emails are from our forum. The other standard colours (for now at least) are from the imitation forums.
Having trawled through the internet i have stumbled across this forum and was wondering if anyone could help the dilemma we are currently facing.
