Hi, We are redoing our main bathroom and looking for a second opinion on tanking. We have bought the following mapei tanking kit and plan to use it on all 4 walls after removing the old tiles.

I am in the process of tiling my bathroom walls and floor. I have purchased 600 x 600 porcelain tiles and I could do with some advice. I have been told that I should get 9mm marine ply laid over my floor boards. Is that correct advice.

I'm looking at laying some large ceramic tiles, on top of Arditex NA SLC in my front porch.
There seems to be a whole raft of stuff out there such as pre mixed, rapid set etc and I'm not sure what's best for my specific application. Any advice welcome. Thanks
Should I create a DIY forum to direct people away from this forum who are doing DIY jobs?
I could then make our three main forums (tilers, plumbers and electricians) all for professionals and trainees only. I think that's how most networks are doing it. So perhaps we do the same?
Your thoughts?

Morning, another new DIYer here! I'm Matt, based in Norfolk and while I'm in the construction industry as my day job it's from a quantity surveying angle so less hands on than I'd prefer.
I've done a little tiling here and there so reasonably comfortable with it (and find it oddly enjoyable)...

I (DIY'er) am going to tile my bathroom and en suite and have purchased 600 X 600 porcelain tiles. Initially after reading many posts on here I was going to get a DeWalt d24000 but I can't justify the cost as I'm not a tiler plus the missus would probably use it on me if she found out the cost...

Hi
I've just finished grouting my porcelain tiles with a grey grout. I gave them a good sponge over but now they're drying there's grey haze over the tile.
Do I just wait for the grout to dry then go over with sponge and water again or do I need some kind of acid based product?
Thanks
Hi all, thanks for having me. I've always been inspired by my dad who has, over the past 30 years, renovated my family home adding his own personal perfectionist touch.
So I managed to save up enough money to put down a deposit on a house and I've been renovating it back from brick over the...
