    Hazy Travertine - that the customer just loves.

    I’ve just laid 30sqm of tumbled unfilled travertine. I filled the pits with grout and the customer is really pleased. I now need to seal. However, there is a slight grout haze which is really annoying me. When I wipe the tile it goes, but of course it comes back again. I have been doing the...

    Tanking a shower cubicle that has new plastered walls?

    As per title says. Going to be tiling in a new shower cubicle. This area has had the walls re plastered, minus the skim coat. Is it essential to tank this area or can it be done without. Not fully aware of plaster's properties, can it be broken down by water damage? Thanks in advance.

    Understood that floating floor is a no no, but what should replace it?

    I've been having an offline conversation with Sir Ramic (who has been excellent) and he suggested I bring my problem to the wider TilersForums group. We're about to start a kitchen refit in a 13 year-old house. We'd like to tile the entire downstairs excluding the main living room - so the...
