    Default Advice needed.

    I've got a utility room job lined up,the customer wants the drain cover tiled over to hide it. I'm going to have to self level the floor to the same height that's not a problem only about 8-9mm but will keraflex stick to the metal ok?
    Tiles around the cover are going to be siliconed instead of grout to allow access. Thx Paul.

    not sure about it sticking and staying stuck(don't use keraflex)as an alternative can you not use something like sticks like s**t or gripfix (which allows build up)and hardibacker or similar product))or another suggestion can you not build it up with tile?is the drain cover likely to be walked on?

    Used fastflex on a drain cover about 3 yrs ago,the tiles started to become loose after about 3-4 months,went back and used Keraflex,never had the people back on the phone about it,and i tiled there en suite about 9 months ago
