I have 10mm black porcelain contoured/ textured tiles that I plan to use on the bathroom walls. If I use a tile trim for the external corners then the contour of the tile won't sit against/in the trim flush. Or are there specialised trims that get round this? What are the options I have for...

Are there any tips on how to carry the herringbone pattern onto a window sill. I’m tiling my cousins kitchen and every time I align one tile up with the joints on the wall the others don’t match up.

Hey guys, new to the forum.. I'm currently tiling a bathroom and have the tiles cut around the window in the front wall.. I've tried my hardest to get the edge of the window tiles as straight as can be but when placing a tile edge trim up against the line there's a 1mm gap every now and then...

First post here, it looks to be the place to get the best advice for all things tiling! Huzzah, after far too many weeks the end is insight for our DiY kitchen fit. This weekend I'm tackling the tilng, it's been 12 years since we did the kitchen in our old house so I've forgotten about all the...

Hi all. Hope this is the right place to post this. We had our bathroom done last year and over time we noticed that water was getting underneath the tiles on the window sill. The window sill is above a bath which has a shower so it gets quite wet after use. We're pretty good at cleaning off but...

How best would you mark out out the tile for cutting in this situation where the recess is narrower than a whole tile? Same for the wall that comes off the recess to the right. Normally i overlay the tile to be cut on top of the second from last tile(which would be arranged in its correct...

Hello all, I’m tiling the bathroom and it currently has a typical new-build MDF window sill. I want to tile the sill and my question is: Do I tile on the MDF or replace it with something. If I replace it, what would I use? It’s a timber frame house so I’m assuming there will be a bit of wood...

Bathroom I am on has splayed window reveals, what trims do you guys tend to use on these? I was thinking this Schlüter Finec angled but not sure. Unfortunately mitring is well out of the question, Laura Ashley BCT jobs.

Hi, I’m going to have the attached tile on one of the walls which has window on, I’m worried that the ribbes in the tile will capture water and dirt if installed on the window reveal? Any thoughts on this? I have a fall on the bottom reveal/cill. Would installing the tiles with the ribbes...

Hi, I am new to the forum so apologies if this has been raised before. We are having a bathroom reno but we are unhappy with the finish round the window and looking for suggestions. The trim as you can see from the photos just sticks out at the end. We have been told there is not a great deal...

Hi all, just wanted to ask a quick question. When you guys tile a wall with a widow, do you tile the wall first or inside the window sill or is it just preference?

Not to be confused with filler foam. This is a foam adhesive. Fast setting and sticks more than it expands although does expand a bit apparently.

Hi all. Just seen a previously tiled bathroom where the tiler rather than have the widest face of the trim facing outwards around the window reveal as normally fitted actually has fitted it so this side is within the reveal and just the 2-3mm edge is visible as you look at the window.(which...

Shaving a slither off a tile. All was going well with tiling my kitchen, but I've found that 2 tiles are too deep by 2mm. These tiles are on the window cill and due to a tiny lip at the base of the window it means that these tiles sit forward just enough so that the tiling edge trim will sit...

Hey guys. Wondering if someone can help me. I’ve got a lady wanting a bay window tiled with slate, no problem. My issue is the curve on the bay window front and how I’m I’m going to go about it. I’ll post a picture if it makes it clearer. Thanks in advance. This has really stumped me for some...

Hi All, Im just finishing a new kitchen and want to tile the area behind the sink up to and including the ledge and reveals. I have 2 questions. 1) Some section of the walls are running out - thick at the bottom and narrow at the top. What is the best way to deal with this - images should be...

hi guys Only done a few tiling jobs myself but come up with a cheap idea for propping up those tiles on the underside of a window without having to cut and waste a load of timber. £2 telescopic washing line props hope this helps somebody in the future...

Evening, hope all is well. Im Looking for a bit of advice regarding setting out on the window wall. Which ever way I play around with it I seem to have a sliver either at the window or both ends. I've attached a photo of the wall and a diagram with the measurements. It would be nice to know...

Hi All, I am not a pro tiler but have always wondered about the correct way to tile around a window. So far I have managed to do this without making a mess of how the window looks so I guess I should continue but I would like to know how the professionals would tackle it. Any advise would be...
