I have for my sins purchased a lightweight ABS shower tray ( podium from plumbword). It needs a dead level surface to be bonded into place onto. My 18mm ply base is out by 5mm at one side so I need to level it from 0- 5mm across a metre in one direction. Which slc would be appropriate? Thanks
Hi all,
I have recently had my bathroom floor tiled with marble, and the tilers used Weber.color art for the grout.
Unfortunately it seems very susceptible to staining, so I would like to redo the grout.

We've got some nice looking porcelain tiles, made by foshan viewgres. They're 600x400. My husband bought these from Topps Tiles some years ago but unfortunately got sick before he could use them. He's not got better so I'm taking the job on myself. I'm not actually bad at DIY but I've not tiled...

It was only about £80 as it was a show cutter.
Water gets absolutely everywhere unlike any other cutters I’ve used previously and also doesn’t leave such a good edge.

Can anyone recommend which grades to start off with SiC discs on a grinder to tidy up a cut edge on porcelain tiles? Just to smooth the glazed edge when seen from the front.
Thanks
If I can find the time I have 110m(2) of 60x60 porcelain floor tiles to lay. This would be the largest are I have done. I have never used tile leveling spacers but thought I might try them out. Any recommendations? I'm thinking of my namesakes system but I know there are lots of alternatives out...
