walls

This bathroom was tiled 2 years ago. Water has been leaking into the kitchen for the past 6 months. Customer said it was re plastered before tiling but as you can see it wasn't. The wooden window cills were left in and tiled over. Ive just spoken to a plasterer on phone and he says 250 plus mats...

Right guys, especially @MissTiler went to see a customer today. They are having a steam/wetroom off the main bathroom area. The area is approx 2m x 0.8m. It has a seat at one end with a fixed glass panel and a hinged door at the opposite end that will be bespoke made to suit the opening. I...

Good afternoon! Hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction. I'm about to start tiling in between my worktops and wall cabinets in the kitchen. The problem is the walls are all over the place! My thinking was to true the walls with plasterboard and tile over that, would this...

Hi all. I'm looking to have a bathroom tiled in Blackpool towards the end of this month. Pm if interested. Cheers

Hi everyone, In need of some professional opinions on this one, I'm pricing up fixing some 1200 x 800 decorative concrete panels inside a living room.....13 metres in total/2 walls......the problem is the panels weigh in at 30kg per metre with adhesive and the walls are plastered!.....British...

Scenario: Very old terraced house - downstairs bathroom - brick walls - bonded and plastered (about 15 years ago it was completely stripped and redone) - damp coming through from outside - mould behind the tiles and in the plaster - tiles fall off - needs re-tiling Damp problem has not yet...

Good Morning I have a job where the customer would like their exterior porch area walls tiled. The walls I guess are not directly exposed to the elements although the Porch area is open (no door as its a sheltered area at the front door). The walls are painted render and I am looking for help...

Following a few past threads there seems to be some confusion on what tiles can go onto what walls. Most of you here are professional tilers so apologies if any of this is old news. This is for those who are unsure how to gauge tile weights and for what is a suitable surface for your specific...

everytime I walk into a room to tile and I see painted walls, I always worry! A lot of the time I've removed any loose with a scraper and scored the rest a bit with Stanley knife, primed with the usual acrylic and tiled with single part flexi and never had an problems. I've got a job to do next...

Do you have to be trade to order online from here, as when searching for adhesives it says sign in to veiw? Cheers

Hi Guys, My latest job I am back to brick/blockwork (again) due to weight of tiles and poor render/plaster. Now on a number of jobs I have used Hardie in the shower areas and MR plasterboard everywhere else. Using advice from the tile suppliers I actually D&D'd the Hardie to the walls on a...

Hi all Went to look at a bathroom tiling job, the bath wall needs a bit of work to level it out then skimmed, just want to double check, whats the general rule for tiling after fresh skim. I would have thought a week for drying. Also,the customer had bought the tiles and adhesive, a while ago...

Having never done it, can you guys advise on a rough step by step guide for fixing marmox or hardie to different kinds of wall. For studded and skimmed walls and for brick walls both plastered and not plastered. Need to know about the gluing and screwing for both instances. Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is what I'm doing today! No porcelain, polished or otherwise. No stone, no quartz, no sealers involved, no decoupling or levelling or days of prep. Just simple kitchen walls with plain old ceramics. Unbelievable. First time in almost a year I've used tubbed addy. :)

hi im a professional tiler looking to expand my skills in wall and floor tiling i have been passed a job on which insists of 5 bathroom en-suits for a b and b which is thought to be highly well known so a good advertising pitch its in Houghton so im looking for someone more local and with high...

Tile Adhesives | Walls and Floors Are their tile adhesive prices any good? I assume perhaps not trade-wise? Do they do trade?

Another question along my bathroom journey Is there any reason why I could not use the 600x600 sparkle black floor tiles in the shower walls with a few cuts (just a 760 x 760 shower tray/enclosure) I am assuming I would need really strong adhesive and waterproof grout? I like this idea (apart...

Had an enquiry for a bathroom doing, its half tiled at the moment onto plaster and lats, bath out and shower going in and will be tiled to cieling. The lady is adamant she cant stand the thought of the mess of ripping the lot out down to the brickwork and dot n dabbing. Cleanest plan I can come...

Hi all, First post, so please be gentle! Preping our bathroom to drag it out of the early 90s and make it a nice place to spend time in. Ripped a lot of the old tiles off to find that some moisture had got behind and blown the finish plaster coat. The wall is 50mm breeze block, 10mm bonding...
