Hi everyone, We have just finished renovating our home and have saved the entry porch as a job for us to do. We would like to have a practise with tiling as its a small simple shape. We have not tiled before. There is just a little problem that i'm not sure how to solve. The entry porch has a...

Hi all, Been a while. Need to quote for complete bath room. The exisiting tiles finish pretty much level with the carpet in the bedroom. So not sure what the subfloor is under the tiles. I know it is chipboars on battens in other areas of the upstairs. (Guessing not chipboard in bathroom or...

I posted previously about a tiling job that has gone a bit wrong. One wall either needs to come off or ideally be tiled over. The problem with tiling over is a concern that the quadrant shower cubicle may not fit. The shower cubicle has 20mm of adjustment, but 5mm already used, so 15mm left...

Hi all, We had our bathroom fully re-done approx 2 months ago. 1880's property, the previous tiles around the shower area had failed, due to water ingress. All tiles, old plasterboard etc were removed. The two brick walls were then bonding plastered. The side of the chimney breast was built out...

I never tile over tiles. However, in this case I have a small area that is a shop front and I'm told there is a void behind. I know I could remove the old tiles and assess the substrate, reboarding it if removal of old tiles causes damage, but the existing tiles are sound and I'm tempted to go...

Morning guys, One for the future really the kitchen and adjoined conservatory currently has wet UFH and 600x600 Indian slate tiles over a newish (18 years) screed that would be upto code at the time (DPM, insulated etc). Generally the floor in is in good nick a few bits of mortar lose over a...

appologies for what has come up time and time again. However this one is so close to the guidelines I can’t work out what to do. I have never fitted marble tiles before, and always had plasterboard suit my tile weight limit. (Have been lucky I guess in the last 8 years! ) I have been asked to...

Hi, I’m doing tiling for my first time in our bathroom. I had wooden floorboards, which I’ve primed, used tile adhesive and screws with backer board washers at 30cm centres to fix tile insulation/backer boards to cover over, then installed UFH, and covered with 10mm Mapei ultraplan renovation...

What you lot using to cover your heat mats...?? I'm struggling to get hold of my normal Weber floor flex... Also, talking to my supplier he was working out for a 23m2 floor I would need 7 bags ? I normally work on getting 2m2 per bag...?

Hi all, I will be tiling my bathroom this weekend and want to make sure I'm set up to get it all finished by Sunday evening. The existing substrate: 18mm plywood 12.5mm marmox board I'm fitting an electric underfloor heating mat and propose to use a self leveling compound and then tile...

It seems that ardex liquid tanking is a very popular choice on this forum and I am hoping to use some in my wetroom, however does anyone know if it's okay to use on a plastic shower former? The only thing I can find online is people recommending I lightly sand the surface of the former and AKW...

Hi All, We’re going to be re-tiling our kitchen floor, it’s a concrete slab with porcelain tiles as exising. I have some Marmox board left over from the bathroom and intend to use it on the floor as we’re having underfloor heating and the floor is currently cold under foot. What’s the best...

Good evening, I have pain stakingly lifted the floor tiles in my kitchen which were VERY well adhered to the subfloor below (which is particle board - not concrete). I am now left with adhesive more or less all over the floor - my question is (if I have the height) if I were to level the floor...

Hi folks, So bought my first house a year ago and have recently ripped out the shower room to start again. I've opted to go for Wedi which is already up on the walls and have also built a 100mm concealing wall now boarded with Wedi utilising their rather expensive washers. I'm now at the...

I have a 17 m sq floor area which is an irregular shape and requires cutting tiles - mostly single cuts but some with multiple cuts. I am using a leveling system like this one: Google Image Result for https://i.ytimg.com/vi/I3Q015R7LxA/maxresdefault.jpg - https://goo.gl/images/FapT39 and this...

Hi I've just finished grouting my porcelain tiles with a grey grout. I gave them a good sponge over but now they're drying there's grey haze over the tile. Do I just wait for the grout to dry then go over with sponge and water again or do I need some kind of acid based product? Thanks
