    Gap between trim and wall

    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.

    Do my wall tiles have water ingress? (Photos)

    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.

    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...

    I'm installing 4x12 white ceramic subway tile in my shower and going from the shower base up to the ceiling.
