Hi.

would the bal white star be any good for ceramic tiles to go in a bathroom?

The size of tile is 250mmx400mm. it is to be fixed on dry lined plaster board, with a few patch repairs, where previous tiles came of.

The guy in topps tiles said it should just about be ok!

Or would i be bettter geting the bal mosaic-fix tile adesive?

area to be covered is about 10 to 11 square meters.

Also would it be best to prime the old plasterboard?

just wanting some advise please, from a novice!!

Thanks.

Steve.

i would go for a white powdered adhesive standard set , mapei , webber, tile giant do all mapei products

mapei keraquik would be the best imo and pricewise also,,mosaic fix is uneccessarily expensive if its just for ceramics

white star is flexible if you do use it be sure to use flexible grout also

yes thats fine

I would go with mapei Keraquick with primer G personal preference, quite big tiles those. If you need an example of the strength, see my thread Keraquick good or what? PS. I have no connection to Mapei, I just think it is top stuff

Right going to take the bal white star back to topps tiles.

I will have a credit of £50... what bal powdered product would you proffesionals recommened?

Think thats all topps tiles stock is bal!... sounds like i have chosen a expensive place to buy adesive from!

i have 10 to 11 sqm to cover... with 250x400 ceramic tiles in a bathroom.

Bal singel part flixi will do the job . £24 per 20 kg trade price.

.

Ask the man in Topps how the air is supposed to get into the middle of the tile to dry out?

Webber set plus is an ideal powder addy.
