Hi guys. Getting close to the time when I ditch the desk and pick up the tools. But as well a tiling training, do I also need to be aware of any basic plumbing? This won't apply to the bathroom/wetroom fitters among you, but for instance, as purely a tiler, you've been given a bathroom job...

Hi all, I'm hoping you can give me an opinion on the quality of this work as I'm having a bit of a nightmare - the floor is finished and although the tiler came very highly recommended it just doesn't look high quality to me. I've had my 65m2 floor tiled with 80x80 porcelain tiles and 5mm...

Hi All Was meant to start tiling this conservatory today got there this morning and something is not sitting right with me. 600 x 600 B & Q 10mm ceramic tiles (against my recommendation). I have added pictures to give a better idea. All advice is welcome. To cut a long story short the area...

Ok, so as there has been a few threads on setting out, I'd like to add a quick one. I'm curious to know how you would tackle this. So this is it, the last task on the bookmatch project. It consists of a small winding staircase of 4 treads, but it's not without its problems. Firstly I'm...

Good Morning, I have a question for the community, if your local tile shop was to offer a 0% APR deal when purchasing your tiles would you make use of it? also could it sway your decision into choosing the tile your really want and not the one you can afford? The reason i ask is that more...

This ones having 300x300 porcelain on diamond, checkerboard. Next door is having wood plank look tiles, not...

Ok, without this immediately becoming a "rip the TTA to pieces" thread; What would you want from an association? I've put this in the Arms as it's most relevant to pro fixers. And I'll leave out my own thoughts for now... Your ideas please!

Hi guys the last tiler that done the place tiled straight over floorboards and they crack all the time yearly or every 3 months..how would you reccomend that i cover this surface to tile on. Could i screw them down firmly then pour self leveling compound or rapid set cement on them? Or would...

So you've just paid over €1,000,000 for your Spanish villa and you want the water contract and bill in your name. The local water company says that as it's a new contract your sewage system has to meet current regs so your cesspit is no longer acceptable and you have to have a septic tank with...

First off hi everyone this is my first post to this great forum. I have a job starting tomorrow tiling the splashback in a kitchen and utility room, the customer has picked some stone effect 'splitface' ceramic tiles and would like a 2mm grout line with charcoal grout. My only worry is how i...

I'm doing an ensuite refit and the customers have weighed in with 2 different set of tiles, one for inside the shower enclosure and the rest for all walls in ensuite. One problem though, the tiles are both different sizes! This ensuite is very tight, its 800mm x 2.8m and the shower fits in...

Guys at Ctd said it should,anyone know for sure

What colour would you grout the bbelowtiles and mosaics? I think the tiles need to be grouted white but not sure of the mosaics should be white or a different colour?? Opinions

Just finished a bathroom and separate toilet yesterday. On arriving at the customers at 8am sharp (like I always do ), thought it strange that she followed me up the stairs!. She said "that tile there is a different colour", oh that's just tile dust on the face I said (it was a tiny wc room...

..or pulled it through to the end of the shower area?, The closer stops full length tile at the end of the former, but just looking at the pics I wondered if it would look better if I'd continued it to the checkout cut.
