This project was a technical request from a customer on how to put a hole into a tile high up in a bathroom
on tiles that had already been installed (fixed to the wall).
He wanted to know how he could drill so high up on the bathroom wall.

I've just tanked my shower (using BAL WP1) and am ready to start tiling. Normal practice is obviously to begin tiling just under one tile hight up from the tray and support the first row of tiles on level wooden battons screwed or nailed to the wall. But this will pierce the tanking, which I'm...

I just finish to tile over a complete bathroom (floor to ceiling). There was one part of the job that i found quite of a challenge, tiling around the window! using large porcelain tiles (600 x 400). So my question is:

Hi Guys
You can see out the back of my place there is a landing covered in paint which I want to tile, the actual steps overhang the brick which is weird and so downs the landing. What’s the best way to handle this?
Should I level out the steps so they are like a block, tile just the landing...
