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.
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.
Join The Tile Association and Get Noticed
Some time ago joining The Tile Association may have got your tile business noticed, but it wouldn’t have helped your website much, as the Tiles.org.uk domain sucked in search engines. The new Tile Association website has been running for a while now and...
I know I've knocked TTA over the years for not supporting the tiler as much as they could do. But as I'm going around the web sorting out our own tilers directory, I do keep coming across the TTA Tilers Directory.

Hi all,
I'm a keen DIYer and about to embark on my first major tiling job, I've done a few bits and pieces before but nothing on this scale. I'll be tiling our kitchen & utility room between the worktops and wall units with terracotta tiles (Mexican glazed "Talavera" tiles, 4"x4") and I'm...
I was in Hampstead at the weekend trying to get some final images from the Bookmatch job. There's still a fair amount covered up, but this is some of it.
Hopefully this link will work. :confused:
Anyone read Gary Walsh's review of the TTA and the TTA's reply in the Tile & Stone Journal?
Nothing of any substance to refute the claim that the TTA does nothing for tile fixers,
.......in essence,a long wordy reply which ignores some of questions Mr Walsh has raised?
me thinks the TTA,just...
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...

Hi all. I've got a job with these fore-mentioned terracotta floor tiles and wondering which inpregnating/sealing method you finds easiest/least hassle. It's been 17 years since i worked with the stuff!
I'm considering the lithofin modern method.
All input appreciated. Many thanks.

Hi Peeps
I know what all their ads and promotions say but is it actually worth while joining TTA?
Ive thought about perhaps giving it a go for a year, and at the mo they have a special offer for new independant fixer members.
cheers
Sharon
