Hi,
Looking for advice mainly on how much adhesive I should remove from between the tiles in a shower before grouting. I stupidly didn't remove a lot of it before it thoroughly dried, and while there is room to put grout in the gaps between tiles over the adhesive (in other words, the adhesive...
Pura shower head - too much weight for a tiny thread Discussion Thread
Hi there,
Hopefully someone will be able to help me…..
I have what I believe is a pura shower arm which has recent started leaking from the fitting which is really no wonder when you compare the weight of the shower arm...
Most tutorials suggest 'pushing firmly'. How do you know how firmly, and how can you ensure that each tile is 'equally' pushed into adhesive, ensuring it's level?
I just set new porcelain 8 x 8 tile in my rear entryway (3 ft x 3 ft area). I love the results and wanted everything to be perfect and by the book. So, these two things are worrying me.
Worry #1: One of the tiles is touching a door frame in a couple of spots (see pic). The door frame is...
Hi been a lurker for a while. I buy property and renovate to sell or rent. I do most of this work myself and often requires major works (takes me long time). Places always need new multiple bathrooms etc and so associated tiling. Just wanted to say thanks as over the years you have been an...
Hello everyone,

Tiler say there is nothing I can do now, besides removing the grout (risking to damage the...

I have approx 14sqm of 200 x 100 ceramic metro tiles to grout, tiles are 6mm thick with 2mm spacers.
Would a 5kg bag of grout (Mapei Keracolor) cover it? I've used a couple of grout calculators online which say I need less than 5kg but this just doesn't look enough to me?
Have to order this...
My favourite customers of over 8 years have moved house and this is the first of 5 bathrooms/ensuites ending with 130m2 floor.
Original bathroom looked great at first look but on closer inspection there were a few red flags.
Tiles came off the walls in seconds with no damage to substrate as...
Hi everyone,

I have laid down 8mm of self levelling compound on a concrete floor after priming it so it was a good level to work off (I also included an 8mm expansion joint around the perimeter) (Conservatory is 15 years old and area of 14 m2).
I then...

Anyone know what could be done here when the cloakroom toilet) floor tiles are higher than the carpet in the hallway?

Hi!
We've just had our kitchen installed and one of the installers said he does tiling too.
So we got him to the tiles, including a herringbone pattern behind the oven/splashback. White tiles, dark grout. The main issue is the corners, where there is a massive thick line of grout on some...

I've had to take up half of my floor tiles including the 9mm ply that was underneath. I'm wanting to replace it but am thinking about using a cement board/no more ply option instead. Would a 10mm option work if I used slightly less adhesive? Any help is appreciated.
We are in a new build and I’m not happy with the tile floors. Yesterday an inspector from the flooring company which provided both the tiles and the labor came out to look at the floors. He declared them ‘damned good.’ He also said the acceptable lippage was equal to two nickels. Can that be...
