please

Quick one for those with this machine, how messy is it? I mainly cut using a grinder outside, but hand on heart I'm getting bored with going up and down stairs umpteen times on some jobs. Want to add a reliable all round wet machine, but can't be doing with pools of water everywhere...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a bit of help please. My house was a new build 18 months ago and we paid the builder extra to tile the first and second floors with polished 600x600 porcelain tiles as our previous house had these on the full ground floor with no issues whatsoever. All was okay for...

Hello, can anyone advise me as to how far up the wall I should go with the scrim tape and thick mix of ardex wpc. Didn't realise how much of the mix it would use up. Wanted to do it all but not sure if Its needed All walls are solid construction, I was going to paint it all over the floor and...

I just had some tiles put into my small WC and the tiles are uneven, poorly cut, unevenly grouted, and look especially bad around the toilet. I have a little bit of left over tile and I am wondering what it would take to fix the area around the toilet or if it would be better to take it all out...

I have noticed that the majority of you gents/ladies use Sigma the odd person is still with Rubi. I'd like peoples views on the Montolit 75P3 MasterPiuma Manual Tile Cutter as I'm thinking of upgrading my manual cutter which at present is the old type TS60 Rubi .One of my former learners...

Evening. I've a job coming up, 200m2+ of wood effect tiles onto piped ufh, cement screed. 50% 1200x200mm 50% 1800x200mm tiles. When I quoted for this, I said to get standard set adhesive, as I envisioned having to clip them, (the 1.8m ones at least.) I haven't seen them yet to see how bowed they...

So I'm in the middle of a PITA bathroom (may do a full post when I'm done) but at least the end is finally in sight. The main field tiles are these: Because of the riven nature being a pain to keep clean the wet area is the smooth version: I've set out so the shower glass profile will be...

I’ve just realised that I’ve been a total numpty and have forgotten the mechanical fixings for the Prowarm boards on the floor of my shower/wet room! I’ve stuck the boards down with Mapei Keraquick S1 adhesive (after acrylic primer on sub floor) and taped all the joints with the tape and...

What are peoples preferences/recommendations when it comes to Epoxy Grouts. I have only used Keracoll & that was sometime ago. Looking to use an epoxy in wet room situations. Any advice or pointers would be gratefully received!

So this is not what I was hoping for on uplift. (But probably should have expected. Probably latex based LC coming away with vinyl flooring. In varying degrees and where it doesn't old Addy residue. The original screed is poor as well. So thinking grind off old leveller and worst high spots of...

Hi all, Newbie here, first post. I am after these tiles: - Travertine - filled with what looks like epoxy - 600mm x 600mm x 10mm - non tumbled edge - had them installed a bit more than five years ago Spent hours looking for identical ones at various stores with no luck. I hope I can find...

hi all, new here. Desperately trying to match the tiles in the photos! I have spent hours travelling round shops and online with no joy so you are my only hope. They are filled travertine opus pattern with non tumbled edge (I’m learning). Previous house owner left no spares ☹️ . Any help...

Hello. We have moved to a house with tiles on the hall and kitchen floor. Some have cracked. We discovered they have been laid on plywood when house was built. I have ordered tiles to replace broken ones, however I've thought of using Silicon instead of grouting as the grouting keeps cracking...

We have just had our bathroom replaced and re-tiled and we are in "discussion" with the builder regarding the quality of the finish, here is the original post Is this an acceptable finish? - https://www.tilersforums.com/threads/is-this-an-acceptable-finish.87621/ I was expecting the cut joins...

Good afternoon I am having some tiles fitted to our newly installed kitchen and am not happy with the finishing on the edges and corners. The tiler is coming back tomorrow to grout the tiles so I want to make sure I'm correct in my assumptions before I tell him. Ive attached photos and in my...

Hi, We have a new build and the walls around the bath are half tiled. We now want to add a shower and so need to tile the rest of the wall up to the ceiling. It is likely the wall is just straight plasterboard? And would you recommend we use a full tanking kit for the half wall prep? Thanks

I have screwed 12.5mm plasterboard onto stud walls using drywall screws. My question is do I need to protect the screw heads before tiling or will they be okay. They are phosphate coated screws. I am useing mapie tile adheasive and didnt want it to corrode the heads of the screws. I have also...

Good evening everybody. I have 4 bathrooms coming up in February and I've been told the tiles are 1.8m x 1m porcelain. I have usually drawn a line at anything over 1m. What set up, do folk use regarding cutting, for instance if a square requires cutting for a niche or the L shape around a...

Hi, I apologize if this is the wrong sub forum to post to but I have recently gotten tiles installed. These were sold to me by a reputable company and claimed to be full body porcelain tiles. They are glossy. However I notice they have gathered these scratches that are visible under direct...

Hi guys, Last time I posted here I was having a first attempt at tiling the walls in a shower and received some great advice which helped me achieve a half decent finish so thank you for that. Now I’m about to tile a small bathroom floor (approx 2.5m x 2m) for the first time and wanted to...
