the tile association

The Tile Association for the whole tile industry in the UK
The Tile Association was started some time ago. It was two associations joining forces, a retailers one and a Tile fixers one, if I remember it correctly.

We feed their news to the forum here: https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tiling-news-tile-news.345/

There are benefits of being a wall and floor tile fixer who has joined TTA such as an internal newsletter, access to British Standards, back-up from them when products fail and you need a report saying so, and you get listed on their website which has good feels for your own website (Google likes quality links), and actual humans who search for a tiler know they get a quality one from The Tile Association website unlike with check my builder type websites that don't know tiling so can't vet people who claim to be one.

There are lots of other benefits too. Checkout their website Tiles.org.uk.

    Re-attaching Tiles At Bottom Of Shower

    Hello I'm a DIYer that's never done any tiling. The Silicon at the bottom of our shower was looking a bit ropey so I thought I'd cut it out and replace it. When doing that I noticed the grout in the bottom tiles was also looking a bit iffy so I decided to rake that out too. After I'd done...
