    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...

    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?

    Tiling advice shower tray

    Hi guys, I had a hairline crack in my shower tray and decided to brave it by removing it myself. I’ve taken the doors off, and the bottom row of tiles.
