    Recovering from tiles on plasterboard that moisture has penetrated through to

    White grout that stays clean - Synthetic?

    Hi folks. Is anyone aware of a synthetic floor grout that will not absorb dirt and stain? I've tried various white products but every one gets dirty quickly spoiling the finish. I have even trailed other potential fillers with mixed results. I'd be keen to hear your experiences. I now...

    Recommendation for slate sealer that won't discolour

    Can anyone recommend a good sealer for a slate floor that's easy to strip/re-apply - other than Lithofin Slateseal? I'm asking as around 10 yrs ago I used Slateseal on my kitchen floor (which I laid myself) and over the years it discoloured badly. I could wash the floor with a strong detergent...

    Who was the blade company that manufactured in the UK?

    A while ago we had a blade company on the forum that manufactured in the UK. Think it was a small engineering firm. Can't remember their name or their cutter blade name. Or anything in fact. Gone are the days of a rollerdex lol I'm sure we would have had threads about them. @Lou any clue?

    To mitre or not to mitre, that is the question!

    As above. As a DIY’er what would be the best way to cut the square edge type polished metal tile trims? I have normal tin snips, hacksaws and even one of those Evolution compound angle chop saws that cuts through steel and alsorts-but will the blade bash the trim to bits? Would I be better...
