tiled

Hi there, I'm restoring an old black and white tiled victorian pathway (see pictures attached). When I moved in the path was completely covered in 3 inches of concrete and terazzo tiles (horrible 1970's job). I've chipped all this away to reveal the old path, which is in reasonable condition...

this is quite an unusual Victorian hallway , thought I would share it with you guys When I arrived I noticed all the salts coming up through the edges only. Then after cleaning etc and removing tiles for replacing it became evident that all the central body tiles are what I believe to be a newer...

Hi, I have approximately 80 m² open plan area tiled in 800 mm x 800 mm porcelain tiles. The whole installation is creaking and moving and it has become apparent that the Tiler has used a dot and dab method through out to fix the tiles. I have asked him to come and inspect the installation and...

Take a look at my excellent drawing...:rolleyes: I need to tile one full wall, and the wall at 90 degree just half tiled. Need to trim the full wall to the ceiling, and trim the half wall, I hate seeing the double trim next to each other, so thought I might mitre the corner and trim above...

Basically I have a tiled floor in a toilet with skirting in place, as we were not sure if we were going to tile the walls or just wallpaper. Now decided to tile the walls so I will remove the skirting, I just wanted to know how to get the tile to the correct thickness so it sits where the...

Hi, Came across this very handy looking forum while building up to fit out a shower room out in our new extension. I have done plenty of DIY but never tiled. Previously I have used a pro for tiling, but the budget is very tight so will have fit the shower tray, screens and tiles all myself...

Hi, We have a new build and the walls around the bath are half tiled. We now want to add a shower and so need to tile the rest of the wall up to the ceiling. It is likely the wall is just straight plasterboard? And would you recommend we use a full tanking kit for the half wall prep? Thanks
