    Advice needed on tanking wall-to-ceiling and wall-to-shower tray joints

    Planning to tank my en-suite tomorrow, using the BAL WP1 waterproofing kit. The ceiling is existing painted plasterboard. Do I need to tape and treat the joints between wall and ceiling like I do for the corners? My gut says no, as the WP1 can't be painted on etc after. Presumably if I don't...

    Wetroom tray with few cuts

    Hi, my mum would love a wetroom, but finding it difficult to fugure out some of the practicalities. In houzz etc. we see wetrooms with few tile cuts which look glorious. Somehow the tiles must be angled to allow the water to drain away. But I'm unsure of how to find these trays online? Should...

    Tiling around Wetroom tray drain

    Hi, We've just had a wetroom put in and everything has gone really well and I'm happy apart from the tiling around the drain. I assume this isn't the finish/ standard that I should be getting? Or does it just need to be grouted/siliconed?

    Removing adhesive from marble shower tray

    I'm changing a shower cubicle and the old one had been bedded to the tray with adhesive. I've scraped a lot off but it's still not smooth enough. Obviously I can't use anything acid based to clean it up so is it a case of sand and polish after?
