Hi there
I am looking for a tiler to help me regrout a fairly small area (about 2m by 2m) in a shower room. After about 2/3 years the existing grout is now beginning to fail - the tiles were not laid by an experienced tiler and that is now beginning to show!
So i got 100mm x200mm metro tiles with ridges on the back and i am aiming for 100% coverage in the shower area.
I have been using a 6mm round notched trowel and its not quite getting the coverage
Is the only way to todo this is to back skim every tile?
Is it worth looking to buy another...
Hi guys, im doing a small downstairs cloakroom with 600 x 600 terrazzo tiles. I cant decide on the layout. The width is just under 1.1m so i can either go 1 grout line up the middle with small cuts on 1 side of each tile or 1 full tile up the middle with a cut tile on each side. Has anyone done...
Good day all. My daughter has asked me to tile a cooker splashback in her kitchen. They've chosen marble tiles of about 150mm x 75mm x 8-10mm. They're quite chunky things for small tiles. The wall they're going on has been sanded back to smooth brown finishing plaster and the wall itself is...

TilersForums.com has been online since 2006 and we've had many designs, even three forum software makes, so three porting over of all content from one maker to another. Then several updates. Even tackled DDOS attacks which took us offline for a while every Friday night. The sods.

Hello,
This is my first post here but I"ve been reading this forum for a while (I've picked up a lot from the "is this a bad tiling job?" threads.). As I'm from Belgium some of the terms will be different but I'll try to be clear.

Hi All,
I am struggling to cut 10mm thick ceramics(600x300) with my wet cutter without some small chips on the cut edge. I'm worried this will look poor around the window where it meets the trim. My grout is a similar colour to the tile, will it colour the small chips?

Thanks...

Hi, I've layed No More Ply on my small bathroom floor ready for tiling. The sub floor was not perfect despite my best efforts, as it's old floor boards. I called No More Ply and they said just use more of the mega strength adhesive and it will expand to fill any small gaps.
The NMP went down...
