    Hi, I'm trying to assess what prep is needed on the walls for my kitchen backsplash. We'll be using a metro tile or longer rectangular tile (up to 300mm length) in brickbond and as the walls have some bow on one side and a fairly substantial runout on the other, I'm trying to workout what I...

    Gap between trim and wall

    Hi, I have an issue here. My tiler has left a gap between the trim and the wall. No doubt the wall wasn’t true. I have put some pics of this, but it’s hard to show well. The gap can be up to 6mm in places. Two questions: 1 is this common practice? I would have thought that walls were...

    Slightly unlevel wall, best way to get around it?!?

    Hi, so I’m relatively new to tiling. I’ve got a job where the walls aren’t 100% flat but not the worst. I’ve sealed the old plaster with a primer. Am I ok to dot and dab the tiles, I don’t mean 5 dots with 20% coverage, the dots I’d put on would get a minimum coverage of around a 70% adhesive...

    Do my wall tiles have water ingress? (Photos)

    I have started to notice a wet pattern look on my Porcelanosa Marmol Carrara Blanco bathroom wall tiles. I have looked at unfitted tiles and I do not believe the grey ‘wet’ looking patches to be a part of the design. Quite a lot of tiles display this pattern but not all. Also they are scattered...

    Crazy gap between shower metal frame and tiled wall

    Hello and thanks for your time. When the shower metal frame (that will hold the glass wall) is placed plumb along the tiled wall, you can see that the tiled wall is uneven. The top and bottom touches the tile wall but in the middle there is a huge 2cm gap between the metal and wall. Basically...

    Does aligning wall and floor grout lines use more tiles?

    Tiling my en-suite was part of a larger build project. The builder subcontracted the tiler who did an excellent job. However, the builder didn’t order enough tiles so the tiler had to come back for an extra day to finish. The builder is now trying to charge me for this extra day saying he ran...

    Bath Shower wall prep after tiles fell off

    My bathroom was tiled 5 years ago with 60x30 tiles which became loose and came clean off with a little wiggle. The installation was prior to when I moved in. The walls look sound and flat and seemed to have been newly plastered before the tiling was done. My question is what do I need to seal...

We're going to get a tiler in to do the actual tiling but I'm not sure how to prepare the walls. We have two internal 'paramount' walls (a separate headache for another day)...

    I'm installing 4x12 white ceramic subway tile in my shower and going from the shower base up to the ceiling. Seeing I'm going to the ceiling I wanted to break up the look of the tile by putting a boarder somewhere in the center of my shower. The Home Depot website said you can use Mosaic tile...
