quick

Hi - Had reason to do a quick fix for a neighbour the other day and she had a Fix&Grout Ready Mixed Product from Everbuild. Only a fix on some bathroom sink tiles but worked really well. I've since had a look online and noticed Mapei who I use a lot also do a Fix&Grout product. Has anyone used...

Hi All, I have a question about setting out and would appreciate you guys input. I have a room to tile that is just over 1500mm wide and fits 6 250mm tiles with spacers perfectly if you don't include the door threshold. My question is do you think it would look better if I just went with the 6...

Hello everyone, Happy Thanksgiving! I am a general contractor in South Florida and have a new crew installing a patio floor. Note the patio floor has uneven terrazzo, at ton of prep work needed, definitely not a easy job. One layer of terrazzo on top of another. 90% of the top layer was...

First time using this and it says it can be tiled on 24hours after application. I'm looking at it, it's firmed up but still has the wet look all around it. I was thinking maybe it would have dried out quicker than this or am I overthinking it. I want to use green screed addy, bal red anti...

Good afternoon all. I am a keen DIYer (at home) but have never tiled! I want to tile our small en suite bathroom as a first go, and thought I'd run past my logic with a pro who wouldn't mind a quick bit of input! I have completely gutted the room, rebuilt/plumbed etc and almost ready to prep...

when you are in the forum, you only create chaos. here are old people who need time to get used to the news. do you want an example? that cazzo page that updates automatically after 30 seconds, that of the new posts, I have to translate it in Italian and after 30 seconds it returns in English...

What is this white slightly powerderuly stuff on the back of the tiles and does it need removing before tiling or can you just lay the tiles. Thank you

Hopefully a quick one. I’m laying 6mm hardibacker direct on floorboards, without wanting to screw through a waterpipe does anyone know roughly how thick floorboards will be ( I am not in a position to lift them between now and when the job starts). I’m hoping I can buy 16mm turbo screws and they...

Hi all, Just popping on to say thanks to all those who helped me with my questions i asked over the last two months and to share the final outcome of the bathroom:)

Has anyone tiled on this type of screed, larsen say you can lay tile 2 weeks after installation even with under floor heating. Would really appreciate some feedback

Anybody use this stuff? Is it worth the extra money? Speaking to a couple of tilers today and said this is all they use now on wood sub floors

Hi I've just laid my hardiebacker down ready for my floor. As advised a short while ago. But I got wondering...is it ok to tile upon plywood (6mm) if you can cover the entire area to be tiled with one sheet of ply with no joins Is it the joins between sheets that cause the problems?

So I have stripped this kitchen wall back and the skim coat has come off most of the wall with the tiles. Underneath is a bonding /base coat plaster. That is sound and level. But for the lack of a skim coat the wall is in great condition. I know that you can't tile on bonding and I would normal...

Hi all, Not strictly a tiling question, but I'm finishing a job today and need to refit this mixer. I've attached a photo of what it looked like before. There was just a grub screw underneath then the mixer literally just pulled off. Is it just a case of pushing it back on? It looks like a...

They're the future - been using them a couple of years now. Gone are the days of farting around second guessing final depth at 1st fix, and even better no more wasting time with them God awful z nuts, PTFE and usually a hacksaw cos the final depth was wrong!

Hi Brought some Granfix Maxigrout Xtra 3kg Grout as they do it in a beige colour that suits my floor tiles. They state Flexible polymer modified, will this be suitable as a flexible grout for my floor tiles with Ufh and a 3mm gap? Many Thanks John.

Bought some TM Rapid Level 30 last week ready for job today, didn't really have enough time to roller it before it was going off today, unbelievable the speed it sets at. I know it was hot today but was walking on it within 25 mins
