About to fix tiles to 7" space between tiled wall and shower tray. The new tiles approx 6 will be sitting on a wood infill and part of the plastic coated shower tray. Can i just use tile adhesive on this or do i have to do any preperation? Thanks.
I'd appreciate your suggestions on preparation for tiling over my bath.
Photo shows the old bath. The new bath will be in by the end of the week. The soil pipe will be boxed in to the width of the bath using Aquapanel, and a mixer shower and concealed bath valves will be attached to it.

My washing machine will live in a cupboard (tiled throughout inside of course) and I'd like to put floor tiles down on the wooden floor. Do I need to seal it first so that it doesn't absorb the moisture from the adhesive? Small area so don't really want to go and buy special adhesive.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anybody has done this or if they have any advice about doing so?
I'm not even sure that it's a good idea or not.
But, presumably if plenty of screws were put in and there was little movement then it should be achievable.
Been asked to lay some wood effect plank floor tiles, I've previously laid these in a brick bond layout in a very small kitchen, however in the pictures on the suppliers website they appear to be laid randomly and this will be a much larger area. Any thoughts on the best layout for a kitchen...

Hi,
I think I have two options here but I thought I'd run it by you chaps as I may be overlooking something.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
