Mapei Ceramic Product Training Day at Mapei Training Centre in the Midlands, UK.

hi all, Sorry if this question seems silly, I am going to use mapei waterproof kit from screwfix on a customers bath in 2 days time. Do I fill the bath with water then apply the joint tape? Customer is going to prepare the walls with no more ply so will this be OK to use on it? Thanks in advance...

Got given a couple of buckets to try and report back. Ready mixed grout that behaves like UC+ without the hassle. I found this product on google a few months back and realised it was not a DIY type crappy grout and it's been about for years in the US. CTD are trialling 3 colours and giving it to...

even the mapei grout is drying super quick ,crazy ,have to start being careful

Tanking out this shower, it's the 3rd one I've done in as many weeks where the plumbers have fitted this seal strip round the tray as they state it's waterproof!! I've given this shower it's 1st coat of paste & then ran a bead of Silicon up the 2 internals ready for corner tapes. It got me...

Wondering if anyone on here has used this?

What does everyone think of Mapei BuildFix Grout? I usually use Bal for grout and Mapei for Adhesive but have tried this particular Mapei grout in white and grey a few times lately and they never seem very good. Very grainy and the white is not very white and they grey not very grey if you know...

Anyone got a CTD account? As I Can't get in to my account, just want to know the prices on trade As have a Quartz job coming up and need to sort price out Mapei Granirapid bag & bottle 24.4kg & Mapei kerequick?

Hi guys, Me and the wife would like the Mapei Anthracite grout to go with the grey Quartz we're going to buy, question is - which one is best, Ultracolor Plus or Keracolor. We are having the tiles fitted by a tiler but we will be supplying the tiles and grout - more because he doesn't...

Hi all have just used Aqua defence on plasterboard wall in bathroom didn't see anything on tub about priming so just applied Aqua straight onto plasterboard and then tiled but just found on you tube that they say you should prime first I no it's a bit too late but panicking that it will peel off...

I've been told to apply primer G neat, then someone else said 50/50 with water depending on the type of surface it's going on to as you don't want a skin to form. Then, dilute depending on how it's absorbing. How do u guys apply, or doesn't it matter that much?

Does any one know if Aqua defence is ok with electric heating matts? Also, would you put the matt under the tanking and risk trapping in moisture or put the matt over the tanking membrane?

Hi all, I've been reading the net for a few days and seem to be going around in circles. I'm a DIYer and like the mapei products. I'm tiling through from the kitchen to dining room with porcelain tiles in an opus pattern. The kitchen is a concrete floor to which I've applied Mapei ultraplan...

As of 4.55pm tonight I found out that Mapei 110 Silicon is not a stock item at CTD,and if I order it,it will most likely take that long to arrive that the best chance of getting it would be to put it on my wish list for Santa! Any other stockists that might have it out there?

hi, i have a bathroom to tile for a friend (free labour job :( ), im a plumber by trade and i have limited tiling experience so im quite slow but can do a decent job. the floor is no more ply cement board fitted as the no more ply instructions, the walls are dabbed plasterboard (not skimmed...

is it just me or do other fixers dislike this addy.....you can mix it to a nice consistency and within 5 mins it starts to go like chewing gum ...i know its rapid set but the open time is a joke ...never again

Had never used one before, but was on a site 3 months ago where the the previous tiler had put the wrong grout colour in (communication between sales team & main contractor! As per) Any way I got down on all fours & gave it a good shake and away I went! I must say I was really impressed, found...

Can anyone confirm or deny that 131 Vanilla grout has been discontinued by Mapei.

Just looking in to what everybody likes in the way of SLC for a standard concrete/screeded solid floor (no UFH) we have been using the sealocrete stuff from Selco, it's not bad but it's certainly not great - just what you could expect for about 12 quid a bag I suppose. Is there much difference...

Hi, I have done a floor using the tile below if i used 113 would the stain as its for a downstairs living area? Thanks Paul Sequoia Limed Oak (White)
