Mapei only - that includes tub adhesives, cement based adhesives, grouts & silicones. Have tried others, in my opinion they are the best. Good on price from my suppiler, cheaper than some other brands from other suppliers - such as Granfix & Ultra. Tub adhesive is very high grab, no need for battens - no need to prime walls. Cement based adhesives - easy to mix, even by hand, no lumps. No need to prime most floors except for new screeds & Anhydrite. Grouts are lovely to use & easy to clean off, fantastic range of colours. Silicone - colour co-ordinationg across the range of grouts. Adhesive Prices as follows : Mapeigrip D1 - ready mixed - High grab, standard adhesive , £6.46 plus VAT Mapeigrip D2 - ready mixed - High grab, suitable for showers, £8.47 plus VAT Keraquick grey - cement based, flexible, rapid setting, £11.03 plus VAT Keraquick white - as grey, but in White colour, £15.36 plus VAT PLUS MANY, MANY, MANY more types suitable for ALL applications Great | ||||||||||

I used PCI grout for the first time the other day - new tile shop swore it was the dogs for flexi floors etc. And the customer had specified he wanted it. Not happy about not using me own gear.... Guess what - I have had my first call back. Grout is cracking. Used Granfix on 3 tile repairs upstairs in the same house on boards. Low and behold, no cracks. PCI - Absolute utter crap. Very dissapointed. | ||
