    Hi chaps, I’m mid way through my first DIY tiling, taking 3 half tiled walls above a bath to full tile, then adding a shower. I stripped the paint off of the plasterboard where I wanted to add tiles, then primed it using Mapei plaster primer. Unfortunately despite using masking tape to mask...

    Removing patio sealer

    Good morning all, I have been sold the wrong product to seal back limestone (Thompsons patio and block paving sealer - wet look). I took the chaps word for it and stupidly just started sealing!

    Hi All, Weve had one of our contractors install some small hexagon mosaics recently and have just had an angry phone call about the condition of the grout. Not sure of the cause, but this is what it looks like - pretty shocking. The gappy patch in the middle is probably the worst of it...

    I had a very poor tiling job done in the summer by a general builder and I've got a professional tiler in at the moment. The tiles came up very easily but there's and anti-crack mat underneath.
