Please could you asvise me if using readymix and dot and dab method for large porcelain is good practice on walls in a shower area?

Hi all
So it's best to start saying that Im way out of my comfort zone on tiling - think I was born to be a keyboard warrior in an office for a day job!
I've recently brought a new house and have been replacing the ensuite with the help of YouTube mainly and a bit of plumbing from the father...
Hi,
I’m struggling on finding enough info about porcelain tiles being laid straight on screed with ufh.

Good Evening,
I have just had my kitchen tiled - around 40m2 and am worried about the following -
1. How level the actual floor is
2. Multiple small chips on tiles laid (I have counted 10 so far and only counted 30% of the tiles laid)
3. A few of the tiles are raised by 2mm
4. Some of the...
Would anyone be able to advise if there is anyway of removing surface scratches to porcelain bathroom tiles. I have one tile that has 3 scratches on it that I can feel with my finger nail.
They are in the window of the bathroom so clearly visible.
Any help of advice appreciated.
I have (with a struggle) laid 600 x 600 infinity ivory polished porcelain tiles purchased from Wickes. Prior to sealing the tiles with the recommended LTP impregnating sealer, I was advised by Wickes and the manufacturer (Verona Stone Company) to remove the transit wax using LTP Grimex heavy...

Thanks
