out

Need some help please with calculating levels and the build up of the floor to support tiling. Not sure about the need for the uncoupling mat? Not sure about the thickness of the tile adhesive? As I have sliding glass doors to be spec'ed and installed before the screed, I need to gauge the...

Hi I’m fitting a Nova Frameless 1000 x 800 Sliding Door Shower Enclosure with a low profile shower tray that you lay on sand and cement. I’ve fitted Some aqua boards and where I’m fitting the enclosure the walls are slight out of plum by about 10-15mm. I’ve already primed the walls with Mapei...

I thought I did everything right--my 13 inch tiles came down and stopped 1/8" away from the tray, I filled it in with mad adhesive, and sealed the grout 3x. Then I noticed, after a few showers, One dark grout line. You can see it in the bottom right of the pic. So I dug it out, and yes, there...

My newly tiled bathroom wall has presented a few issues in the last few days. Some of the tiles appear to be popping off with cracked grout lines and where this has occurred there is some bowing of the wall. I also have a tile in the bottom left corner that has cracked down the surface. This is...

The shower pan on my all tile 70 year old shower started to leak. I have access the the underside of the shower and am also replacing the old galvinized pipes which are rusted through, in fact this is what alerted me to the pan leak. I want to replace just the pan and the drain. The wall...

Hi All, I have a question about setting out and would appreciate you guys input. I have a room to tile that is just over 1500mm wide and fits 6 250mm tiles with spacers perfectly if you don't include the door threshold. My question is do you think it would look better if I just went with the 6...

Hey There, I'm tiling 3' by 6" ceramic tiles over DITRA in a herringbone pattern. I can only do several tiles at a time, because of time constraints. So I do a little area and place the tiles, but of course there's all the excess thin set from either spillage or just going a little too far...

Hi guys, brand new member so I'll hope not to be a pain in the rear. Had to lift the tiles in part of our bathroom. Turns out the underfloor heating wasn't buried under a screed and was in with the tile adhesive. That's been binned, but the bigger problem is the adhesive is ripping up chunks of...

Hi all, Due to money constraints I am having to renovate the bathroom myself. I am trying my best to set out the tiles before starting to avoid slithers. I'm using metro 20×10 tiles and 2mm gap. But no matter which way I try I end up with either a cm gap at the ceiling or a slither under the...

hello! if you have an unlevel but flat wall are you building out with adhesive (if possible) or do you just follow the wall?

Tiling kitchen splashback, but I've messed up the layout. Should I rip out the tiles on the window sill? Or do I just about get away with it? It kindof looks like the tilesnin the window sill are 3D bricks. Done quite a phew tiling DIY jobs in the past, so this is noty first time. I just messed...

What's your tiling question? Pictures can be added. Tiling into a corner. Full tile next to a cut tile or 2 cut tiles next to each other to form the corner with 2 full tiles together above ? I have seen pics online of both. Is there a right way ?

I am not sure if they need anything tiling but what do you think about this years series being in Wales? I reckon the celebs (if you can call them that) will be a bit peeved that they aren't going to Australia! I would be but I do love old castles and stuff - not sure I would sleep outside one...

Hi there, Im a DIY tiler and am about to half height tile my downstairs toilet with 600x300 tiles. I understand the advice on always ensuring the top and bottom row of the tiles should avoid thin slithers. If I measure out to get a good size at both floor and the top row (half way up wall)...
