out

hi all. Need some help how can I work out total price per square metre. Including adhesives and grouts etc. As I have been approached by a kitchen fitter to provide a price and I need to get back to him asap. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Has something changed with the forum settings recently, as every time I change page I seem to get logged out! Was never a problem until recently.

What's people thoughts? Since it changed a week ago, it's not half as easy to see what's what, imo!

Hi, Just wondering roughly what proportion of a pro tillers work is taking out old tiles and making good before refitting.....I'd envisage a high proportion of your job is on new installations done by kitchen fitters and plasters unless its a wet room.....im looking at doing the run of the mill...

Ok, so as there has been a few threads on setting out, I'd like to add a quick one. I'm curious to know how you would tackle this. So this is it, the last task on the bookmatch project. It consists of a small winding staircase of 4 treads, but it's not without its problems. Firstly I'm...

Hello all, I wanted to start a thread about some of the ridiculous jobs that we some times are forced into doing and how we dealt with them, hopefully you'll share some of your experiences and how you dealt with them also. I had to deal with a really poor screeding job this week. I've done all...

Hi everyone, I have a wall to tile with 200x100 bevelled ceramic tiles (brick bond) . I'm tiling onto 12mm 'no more ply' cement tile backer board which for the most part is nice and flush, however one or two of the board have a small difference in alignment. Its no more than 1/8th inch / 3mm...

All I needed was half an egg cup of Weber Joint pro Jasmine grout. After asking if there were any split bags - No. I then paid for a full bag. Got back to my job and started mixing it. The dry grout was very lumpy (like it was old or had been subjected to frost). I looked at the bag...

Hiya guys and gals, Hope you can help me with an issue I've come across which is giving me a headache. Due to a recent leak in our en-suite I had to rip it out completely back to the stud work. I located the leak, changed the pipework and now am at the stage to start re-building. The problem...

As some of you may have seen, from a previous thread, at the moment I am in the process of tiling my downstairs. I have been using some CAD software to look at potential setting out ideas. Coming up with an idea that satisfies a few criteria, however I may be going about it all wrong. At the...

Good Morning, I have a question for the community, if your local tile shop was to offer a 0% APR deal when purchasing your tiles would you make use of it? also could it sway your decision into choosing the tile your really want and not the one you can afford? The reason i ask is that more...

Omg, I thought my tiles in the shower would create a waterproof sheild. BUT the grout between the tiles keeps washing out. I use good brand (UNIBOND) I dried the erea with dehumidifier, applied the tiles and dehumidifies again to suck any moisture before grouting. I then dehumidifies again for 2...

Hello, In the process of renovating my bathroom and wanted to get some advice on the best way to set out the tiles please. Tiles will be 600x400x12mm marble. What do you think of this scheme? I've tried to centre everything around the wall with the window (which is facing you as you come...

I think I chose the worst flipping size tile I could have done… or is there a way? Darned if I can see it… Tiles for the walls are 400mm L x 150 H to be laid horizontal, half-bond. Thought I would start by centring the window width and height and see how things would work. First issue, 3 tiles...
