    Ceramic Wall Tile Failure - How?

    I've just done a shower room in a tile very similar to these. @Dan I believe they are "warped" as such, they're not a flat face. Rustic and unrectified to give them a handmade look. They very well maybe handmade. As it's the bottom row, and a long the back of the linear drain mainly, my...

    Tiler says my plan is impossible becasue of cut edges

    Commenting to follow post. This isn't impossible at all. in fact, I'd suggest it's easier to achieve because of using a natural product. Would just be more labour intensive.

    Wet and Wild... Then Blotchy!

    No might about it. Crackle glaze tiles should ALWAYS be sealed prior to even grouting.

    Removing self leveller and Ditra from plywood floor

    UFH is on top of the ditra? In this setup ditra should of been the last thing put down before tiling. Removal is always a chore and difficult process. Might be easier to make a hole through it all so you can get under the ply and pry it up that way. For the sake of replacing the ply at...

    Tiling my bathroom help please.

    Fair enough. Just wondered as you might struggle to get a bath in if you've tiled above the space on three sides Good luck with your project

    Tiling my bathroom help please.

    Hi. You've had your tiling questions answered. But I'm just intrigued as to whether you've allowed for getting the bath in as you've tiled the walls first. I'm assuming it's in to an alcove with walls on three sides?

    Water UFH Tile moving and grout breaking

    Hi everyone. So I've been out the game for a few years after a serious hand injury. Just getting back into the swing of things. I can't believe it took until page 4 of responses before anyone mentioned sanding/removing the latence from the screed. This needs to be done on anhydrate screeds...

    Poor tiling gap at top of tiles

    Interestingly, the gap round the top of the room is consistent in size. Can hardly say the ceiling is out 🤣🤣

    Is this a bad Job? Or am I worrying over nothing?

    You've found the answer to whats wrong wrong by pinging a laser round. His tiles aren't level, it's not the walls that are out.

    Tops Rapid Set Flexy White

    I've always known the white to have a lot of aggregate. I hate tops adhesive. Webber for me, but have a local tilemaster stockist near me I'm beginning to try.

    New Ensuite

    I'm not gonna get involved with the tiling comments. Agree with some disagree with others. However, as a plumber who tiles I will frown upon the isos on the shower pipe work. You've left a big hole around the pipes which you'll have to pump full of silicone before fitting the exposed valve...
