What kept me busy over Easter. Few question arose - how does or should one finish around electrical sockets on such tiles ? The grout did not appear to go as far as the bag suggested (I subtracted 15% from the 4mm gap numbers (gaps are 5mm) ) - 95% of a 5kg Bag of Mapei Ultracolour on just...

Quick one to check I'm on the right track - I'm planning to do a tiled bath panel (with access panel using some Schluter magnets). Am I right in thinking I should have cuts below the bath rim and cuts down onto the floor? It'll be about 560 mm high, tiles are 200 mm high, so I'm thinking to...

we found an old Victorian geometric tiled floor under the hall carpet and I've spent the last couple of months slowly restoring it. To cut a very long story short, i'm at the final cleaning stage before sealing. I hired one of those rotating floor scrubbers which has done a good job, all except...

I have a fully tiled wet room, the floor is concrete and the transparent sealant along the corners / floor edges gets mould behind it very quickly. I have had to remove it twice so far and replace it within a few years. I have removed the sealant and re grouted the edges. I can't find out why...

OK - is this a mad idea? I have to plan a tiny studio room in a flat. I have a standard sized storage/convector heater (I m wide 700mm high) and it's taking up vital space in the room. Could I build a mantel structure around it and tile it - would a tiled 'shelf' over it be able to cope with...
