Hello,
I'm looking at tiling my bathroom next month. There will be a mixture of quartz, ceramic and glass mosaics.
I've narrowed my search down to the "Norton clipper TT200EM" or a cheap well reviewed "Titan TTB336TCB" from screwfix.
I'm leaning towards the Norton as I guessing it's probably...

Wall and floor tiling can often be seen as 'easy'. And the DIY sheds certainly make it seem so. Grab everything you need in one place, head off home, whack them up, job's a good 'un.
In reality it isn't quite like that. While the tiles may stay on the wall for a while, they're likely to fall...

Hi, what grout and adhesive would you recommend to attach mosaic tiles to a fibre glass base in a decorative pond? It sometimes gets paddled in, no fish or plants. Also, I would prefer a dark grout (to avoid algae growth) and would also prefer ready mixed if it exists. It will be a DIY...
