Dear all, as a homeowner, I have had to hack off a glass tile which is backpainted from a wet room.
It seems that the tile was pressed into a cement like glue as there are no visible trowel lines and it was really difficult to remove the remains of the old tile without hitting it very hard in...
Hi Everyone,
I recently moved into a new property and I have a tiled floor and hallway. Some of these tiles are loose and cracked so I've removed the grouting and loosened the tiles out with the aim of putting some new adhesive down and replacing the tile.
The only problem I have is that the...
Hi, I am chasing some Khartoum Cream 450 x 450mm matt finish floor tiles to replace some damaged tiles. House was tiled about 12 years ago & believe that they are discontinued. Any qty would be much appreciated.
Thanks
I had a contractor that ruined my bathroom tile when he installed it . I knew it was bad but 3 years on, it’s a disaster. The grout on the floor between my tiles has pits and holes in it. Some of the grout lines were not even completely filled and you can see the sides of the tiles . The tile...
I made a post earlier this year regarding poorly fixed tiles and after much to and fro the contractors agreed to start replacing the tiles. They have since redone the hallway and front room and whilst they now have a nice solid bed under them, they are all at different heights to each other...
self build completed 10 years ago, large kitchen diner on 65mm hand mixed screed, with no stress relief joints & wet UFH!
Tiled with limestone, found that the tilers switched to cheaper adhesive not suitable for UFH approx a third of the way through the job, they then added flex fluid to the...
Hello,
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me. We had black and white ceramic tiles put in our kitchen and the black started to fade. We contact the company who we bought them from who put us in contact with the supplier. The supplier replaced the tiles and the exact same thing is happening...

Hi,
I am laying a kitchen floor and hallway soon. The problem I have is 3/4 of it is wooden floorboards then the other 1/4 is concrete,they both meet level.
My question is rather than board it all out can I remove the existing floorboards and put down 18mm ply and screw to joists. This will then...

Existing floor covering is 18mm T&G floorboards.
If you had to replace some floor joists, and to re level some floor joists, would you:
1. bin all the floorboards that have to get removed to fix the floor. replace the floorboards with 25mm wbp ply and tile directly onto that.
or
2. bin all...

Hi guys
I need some advice as to how to remove the flange in the shower floor so I can re tile my shower base as per photographs.
I'll be grateful for your advice as I do not want to break the exiting waterproofing. Should I remove the ring with a grinder or look for an adapter to place the...

1) The original Edwardian house with suspended wooden floor
2) An extension built about 7 years ago with solid floor
3) Extension built now with suspended timber...
We have moved into our new house and I am about to put some floor tiles down. The house flooring is 22mm water resistant chipboard. I planned to put down 6mm no more ply rather than 18mm ply to keep the finished height of the floor down to as close to carpet level as possible. Thinking of the...
I used a new one today and the difference it makes when using it was great. I forgot how much easier it is to remove the excess from the tile face and the joints stay fuller. I didn't realise how worn my old ones had got, they must be 18 months old.

Our bathroom was tiled with travertine but the finished job is not to the standard we were expecting (my user name probably gives this away!). I am particularly keen to redo the floor as there is movement in the tiles and cracking in the grout, plus some of the floor tiles are cracked.

Hi All. I've been working on our recessed shower area and after taking off the tiles found that the plasterboard was not waterproofed and needed replacing so have removed it. On one side it was plasterboard dot and dabbed onto a breeze block wall so no problem to replace, but the other sides...
