    Should I have used Corner Tape when siliconing this project? Not sure if I have used

    Not sure if I have used enough Silicon on this job. Or if I should have splashed out on Cornertape. I am just worried there doesnt appear to be enough Silicon to hold the joint I suppose using so little means its not noticable that there is a Silicon bead :lol:

    How long should patching plaster be left before it can be tiled over?

    I've used patching plaster to a depth of 2-3mm in order to make good some areas. How long should I give it to dry, before tiling? (I will seal it with BAL APD Primer, when it is dry.) Thanks.

    How much should I expect to pay to retile front path in black/white victorian style?

    We have been quoted around £**. This seems high to me, and I would appreciate any guidance. The front path needs replacing, as the quarry tiles that are currently in place are all cracked and many are missing. I live in North London, and any advice would be really welcome! Kirsty
