Good Afternoon.
Looking at taking on my first DIY Tiling job in our kitchen. I will be covering roughly 3.5m2 and will be using a 20x10cm ceramic tile (ToppsTiles Matrix White tile).
Watched various online videos etc but i'm confused which adhesive i should use. Was initially set on a ready...
I’m just planning specifics for tiling our kitchen. We have a stainless splash back behind our hob which we intend to keep, but want to tile the rest of the way around the kitchen between the underside of the cupboards and the upstand from the worktop.
I would normally plan to set out by...

I'm looking at laying some large ceramic tiles, on top of Arditex NA SLC in my front porch.
There seems to be a whole raft of stuff out there such as pre mixed, rapid set etc and I'm not sure what's best for my specific application. Any advice welcome. Thanks
I'm doing a second floor condo kitchen, 6' by 9' of tile area. The surface is gypsumite (poured) over plywood. I'm going to use 12" x 12" porcelain tiles. I've put down the tiles (loose- not set) and walked on them. Floor seems level.
Questions: 1. I was told to seal the gypsumite, one source...
Gutting kitchen to walls. Not replacing tile. Not sure Ceramic or Porcelain.
Island is getting a little larger. Cutting tiles to match new dimensions is possible.
Very large area so no plans to replace tile any time soon. But maybe someday.
There are some cracked tiles which 'sound' hollow when...
Hi everyone,
I'm attempting to tile a new kitchen splashback using cube shape mosaic sheets and all going well, except I'm not sure how best to finish the grouting.
The splashback will not go to the ceiling and there are no wall cupboards.
There's several examples of the same style on this...

Should I create a DIY forum to direct people away from this forum who are doing DIY jobs?
I could then make our three main forums (tilers, plumbers and electricians) all for professionals and trainees only. I think that's how most networks are doing it. So perhaps we do the same?
Your thoughts?
Hi am currently looking at tiling my kitchen well re doing it. Can I tile over the tiles ? Or do I have to take them all off I have a feeling it will rip most of the wall off ?
Hi all, needed some advice. Can you fit kitchen floor tiles on a surface made level using a latex self levelling compound.
Can you tile straight onto the latex levelled surface or would you need to do something else before laying the tiles.
I hope i have been clear and if not apologies as this...
Good afternoon everyone. I'm in the process of doing some refurbishment at my flat and the kitchen is my last area to tackle. I've taken.off the old tiles and that took the plaster with it. So a few weeks ago I had that re skimmed. The tiles I'll be using are 100x200 non bevelled metro tiles...
Kitchen fitter used charcoal rather than grey grout which probably makes this look worse, but to my eye the edging is not well done with gaps and sharp ends, the grouting is uneven and several tiles are poorly shaped. Can this be rescued? Am I being too fussy here?
Hello there. My name is Al and live up in Aberdeenshire. i've been tiling easy stuff for myself, friends, family for a fair few years. A time served sparky from way back in the day, that now works in an office and likes to get his hands dirty.

Hi all,
I was hoping I could get a little advice.
Currently doing a bit of tiling in the kitchen and have a few internal corners. When I have to cut a tile that reaches the corner do I need to replicate the same length of tile on the wall next to it or can I use a full length tile or do I use...
Hi Guys

Hi all.
After completing a short tiling course earlier in the year here is my first attempt at doing my own kitchen.
On the whole I'm pleased with it, yes there are some things I would have done differently but I guess it's all good experience and you learn from your mistakes. Just looking to...
