Hi Guys I'm not a tiler but hopefully you don't mind helping me out please. I've spilt a fair bit of 'Silicon based' sealant gel (for sealing up external electrical junction boxes) on slabs where we were working yesterday ! Tried sanding out this morning but not getting it right out. Is...

Hi all, We employed a tiler to lay some rectified wood effect planks in a herringbone pattern… The grout width was set at 2mm… The floor is yet to be grouted but to our untrained eyes we have noticed some strange things. For example in one area the grout width was 3mm + and in another area...

Hi all, I'm hoping you can help with some feedback, please My parents are currently having a new bathroom installed, all stripped back to bare walls and floor. The fitter has done/hasn't done some things that I'm 99% sure aren't good practice, but he has convinced my Dad it is fine. I have...

Hey everyone. Hope you are well. I want to learn how to tile and do a fairly basic bit of tiling in my kitchen, mainly having 6 rows of white metro tiles, which will go around the wall behind the sink, behind the hob and then to the left of the hob. I have a few questions, I imagine they are...

Hi everyone. I'm really hoping you all can help as I am at my wits end. We have hired contractors to renovate a large portion of our home. We are nearing the end, but the shower has been quite a struggle. The contractors did our tile work and subsequently the edging along with it. Some of their...

Hi, it's my first time here and I'm desperate to solve this problem. Can someone please tell me if there is something wrong with this tile job? I was told thick thinset is needed since we are installing 12 x 24 porcelain tile and that the look of this tile job is normal. I was told not to worry...

Hi there, Has anyone had any experience with this product and what was you opinion on it? I’m well aware that it’s not going to be a miracle fix in all situations but I have a couple of loose tiles on a concrete floor that I’d like to stabilise and it would be great to not have to go through the...

Hi, first time I’m posting 👋🏽 I’m after some advice please. Is this area going to need plastering before tiling or will tile backerboards be ok to use? Not looking for a quick fix as I want to do it properly but I know plastering will delay the tiling. Thanks ☺️

Hi all. I am tiling my bathroom after removing old suite. I have used a batten all the way around half a tile above where the bath will go. I am now tiling above batten. Once I’ve done that how do I go about tiling below where the batten was please ? Do I have to measure and put another...

Hi All, I am wondering if someone would be able to help me out/explain something. We had a patio laid back in Feb/March time by the building firm doing our extension, onto a new concrete base around the new extension. The porcelain tiles were 20mm thick and 600x900 so quite large. Ditra mat was...

Hi all, I have just had someone tile my front path but to me it looks a little odd, but no idea if this is acceptable and I'm being too fussy. They were laid 4 days ago and for some reason they are still lifting super easy, I am not sure why. If anyone can advise it would be hugely appreciated.

Hi all I was hoping to get your opinions / thoughts on some work done in the kitchen by the builders at my parents. The main thing I'm scratching my head about is the tiling when it meets the kitchen cabinets. The builders have left gaps un-tiled under the cabinets and cookerhood and I think...

Is the decoupling mat laid on the top of the concrete base? Thanks

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and apologies if this question has been answered elsewhere. My husband and I are doing a full refurbishment in the kitchen and after a long time we were hoping to be finished this week but the tiles placed on the floor are now coming off. They are porcelain...

Recently we had our bathroom renovated. Unfortunately we trusted that the bathroom would be expertly fitted over the two weeks we were away to avoid too much hindrance both sides. Unfortunately we were quite shocked to see the awful, unprofessional state of the tiling within the shower. It...

Hi All So around 10 years ago (i had no idea it was that long ago until i looked up the order for the supplies) i tiled my kitchen floor. It went something like this: Removed existing tiles. They were vinyl type tiles stuck on with a black bitumen (from what i could tell) adhesive. Mapei eco...
