Hi,

I'm looking for a tiler to tile my bathroom in a 1st floor flat.

I'm currently renovating the 27 year old bathroom and will replace the existing bath with no shower with a new bath and thermostatic bath/shower mixer tap.

For this reason the substrate around the bath will need waterproofing before tiling - this is made of plasterboard. I'm looking at preping this area with Mapei Aquadefense before getting a tiler in - or if you have a better suggestion...

All existing tiles will be removed before the job.

I wasnt being sarcastic, I was stating a fact.
I didn't mean just now. I meant when I was stating the fact that I wouldn't trust a tiler who can work tomorrow, and you sarcastically said does that mean you're a bad tiler because you can usually start tomorrow.

You're a right bag of laughs Sharon. Not.

Hi Dan,

I'll be changing the bath. The bath is sitting over 3 sections of tougue and groove chipboard allowing it to flex. I'm planning on overboarding under the bath area with one section of18mm ply to firm up the flooring.

The toilet has been changed, but has been loosely installed so that the cistern can be removed and the toilet moved slightly forward to be able to tile behind it.
The old bath sink has been removed and the new one will be installed once the tiling has been completed.

Hey Castillo. When you site the bath, put a batten of wood along the wall/walls it abutts for the bath to sit on too, this will help spread the weight. Definitely renew/replace/strengthen any flexing floor underneath it.

Charming. Not 'usually', sometimes I get quiet periods.
