Hi all
I'm on with my full bathroom re-fit.
Laid quartz floor tiles on no more ply with powdered flex adhesive, no problems at all, fab in fact.
The walls, using 20 x 50cm ceramics with a couple of mosaic borders. The shop gave me Granfix tubbed flexi adhesive. I queried this & they said it...

Well, last year I just hosed off the travertine floor and resealed and put some grout in the cracks. All looked great.
This year, blimming disaster. The grout is discoloured.
I need to clean it using another method and wondered if anyone could suggest what equipment I should hire and also...

Tiling a bathroom which has rad valves which come out of the wall a couple of inches then turn upwards in an 'L' shape if that makes sense? Can't really figure how to tile round these without slotting the tile and putting the piece back in, or starting a tile halfway up the pipe which comes out...
I tiled my bathroom and it came out very nice. It's a pretty impressive result taking in to account that this is my first tiling project. BUT the internal corner didn't come out that nicely and re-tiling it is not an option. I found this stainless steel retrofit cove that I could use in Floor...

Hi, I just did a small room with star galaxy polished granite tiles. I laid them then sealed them then grouted them. Problem is 1 tile has got an annoying small cloudy patch whereas the rest of the tiles are pretty shiny. I didn't notice when the tile got the cloudy patch, if it was there before...
Hi,
We have brought 600 x 400 x 12 travertine for wall and floor in a small bathroom. The plasterwork was old and as I am aware plaster cannot take the weight of travertine will all be removed and 12.5mm plasterboard / moisture resistant gyproc used to line the walls. However, the tiles are...

I'm putting down some light buff / sandstone coloured ceramic floor tiles.
It's a big area so need to get the grout colour right first time.
The tiles are rectangular medium format 36cm x 28 cm (14" x 11"), laid out in a 50 / 50 brick stretcher bond pattern.
I'm not looking to make any bold...

Hi Guys,
I've almost finished my first tiling job (complete bathroom) and I'm pretty pleased with it, apart from one thing - around the window.
Basically around the window is where I started laying and i made a huge mistake by thinking that the edging strips sat over the tile, not realising...
Hi, im in process of tiling a warm room for a client in black absolute marble but where the top tile meets the downward tile on the seating area ive been asked to bevel the raw corners and polish to make as shiney as the face surface.... ive done similar with travertine but never marble.... how...
Hi guys
I am renovating the kitchen currently, and having stripped out the old kitchen i am left with these walls.
There was a little bit of damp plasterboard behind the sink, and ive pulled the damp bits of wall away and whats left seems pretty solid, with exception of the window sill.

I’ve been asked to quote for laying a Victorian floor on the ground floor of a block of luxury flats.
I asked a few questions and have been told that this is the only way in/out of the flats. The base is concrete slab and the square meterage is approx. 7sqm including 2 steps. The customer says...

This isn't a thread I'd usually post as it sounds a bit needy. But it keeps being mentioned that the forum feels quieter than it has been in the past, and you're probably right.
Other than a plonker or two blaming the fact the forum has sponsors, most of you have hit the nail on the head. It's...
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...

Hello
Does anybody know how to clean the charcoal grout from the porcelain tiles?
Someone told me the that there are some LTP cleaning liquid that is good for that.
I googled it and there are a few different ones. Which one should I go for?
Thanks
