outside corner in rectangle bathroom Page: 8

[mr angry]

hi guys,

please excuse my terminology if i dont describe my current diy job. i have just ordered tools from amazon... cube laser, trowel, float, grout etc... i have not ordered the leveling tile kit yet as there are so many to choose from so hopefully someone can recommend a cheap good kit.

anyways, i am about to start tiling my bathroom but im not sure how to tackle the outside corner inside the bathroom. my choice is the offset method rather than the stacking one. maybe you can convince me otherwise :/

i would also add that i cannot get the rest of the pant off the wall as its stuck pretty good. ive read on google that all paint should be removed or by doing heavy scores in the plaster to make the adhesive bond. what do you recommend for heavy scoring the walls as i feel using a razor blade is not suffice.

i also have to tile the floor and upon checking this it looks like a 9m ply was used for the tiles already laid. should i use the same thickness of ply when i do the floor? if so, then i will be left with a step up into bathroom like before (not a big problem) around an inch height. i need to rip it all up anyways due to radiator pipe work and water inlet for toilet being offset.

the measurements for wall width 22cm for left width and 45cm for the right width. the tiles for the wall are 298mm x 498mm bought from b&q. if you need any more info please tell me.

should i start tiling the walls first or the floor?



thanks

I wanted to try that but nobody stocks it near me.

i will mix a small amount each time before i tile due to me being a novice. what primer should i get...the weber pr360 or something else?

cheers

PR 360 will be fine.

Don’t forget to clean your bucket and tools between mixes otherwise the next mix will set much quicker than it should.

So much easier with a slow setting adhesive. I suppose at least you got a good deal though.......

I buy direct from Tilemaster but you have to have it by the pallet.
I have used many adhesives in the past but find this one of the nicest to use and is the best blend of price/performance.
I use their Ultimate adhesive on floors, but you have to be really clean as you go, it’s sticks to everything and is a pain to get off when set!

@Waluigi

it was either the weber or the 7 tubs of bal white star plus. i was sure that the majority of folk here wouldve picked the 3 bags of weber stuff at £20.

i cant find a local supplier of the weber 360 but i can get the bal primer 1kg for £9.99 out of topps tiles is this ok to mix with weber?

That will do the job just fine.

Yep.
Whatever you use the result will be better than the other 3 walls with nothing on and pre mixed addy.
