    Grouting half height kitchen splashback

    Hi everyone, I'm attempting to tile a new kitchen splashback using cube shape mosaic sheets and all going well, except I'm not sure how best to finish the grouting. The splashback will not go to the ceiling and there are no wall cupboards. There's several examples of the same style on this...

    Spacer and adhesive

    tile spacers for my new tiles

    Hello everyone, I am thinking of re-doing the tiles my living room. I've got 600x300 tiles and I'd like to know if it's acceptable to use 4mm tile spacers.

    Metro tile spacers, 4mm. Is it going to look awful?

    hi, doing a diy job of filing our kitchen using metro tiles for b&q. We have started and have used the 4mm tile spacers but now we’ve realised that we probably should’ve used smaller. Is it going to look awful? Has anyone use 4mm before? We’ve chosen anthracite tiles and white grout. Should we...

    Wickes spacer accuracy

    Being a retired engineer I always recon to have a good eye for measurements. so when I bought these spacers from wickes I had my doubts about their accuracy so stuck a couple in a pair of digital calipers. The 1mm spacer measured 1.72mm and 2mm spacer measured 2.42mm, so if you want a 2mm grout...

    Substraight advice for splashback

    Ok, strange one. My customer was advised to chalk his walls. He has removed the old tiles and adhesive in the kitchen which, luckily, has left the walls in a fairly straight condition. But he had bought tubes of chalk and kind of applied it like you would with plaster to the whole wall. I have...
