Hi All
I am trying to fix some broken tiles in a couple of wet rooms in a customers house. When I took up the first few tiles they seem to be on some kind of rubber/ bitumen elastic membrane which I have never seen before. Have any of you seen this before and how should I go about fixing the new...
'Tis said, a rookie will take 2 to 3 times longer to do the same job as that of an experienced tiler, so the question is: how long will it take for one to go from rookie to expert, providing he's working on a regular basis?! Any ideas?

Instructions say use 32-34 parts water for every 100 parts of kerraflex!

Tiling a bathroom which has rad valves which come out of the wall a couple of inches then turn upwards in an 'L' shape if that makes sense? Can't really figure how to tile round these without slotting the tile and putting the piece back in, or starting a tile halfway up the pipe which comes out...
I tiled my bathroom and it came out very nice. It's a pretty impressive result taking in to account that this is my first tiling project. BUT the internal corner didn't come out that nicely and re-tiling it is not an option. I found this stainless steel retrofit cove that I could use in Floor...

Hi, I just did a small room with star galaxy polished granite tiles. I laid them then sealed them then grouted them. Problem is 1 tile has got an annoying small cloudy patch whereas the rest of the tiles are pretty shiny. I didn't notice when the tile got the cloudy patch, if it was there before...
