Hi all
I've been asked to completely refurbish the in-laws bathroom and they've taken it on themselves to do the donkey work of removing tiles, wall coverings etc. in preparation.
Anyway, the walls were tiled lower down all the way round and papered/texture coated above. When they've removed...

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.

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).
