    Substraight advice for splashback

    Update: the customer has spoken to his Dad, who gave the chalking advice. His Dad is a painter and decorator and has now said, "just PVA it, then when it's dry you can tile it, that's what i did in my bathroom" :flushed::fearscream: I've explained that you don't use PVA for tiling. It turns...

    Substraight advice for splashback

    Or is 6mm the smallest?

    Substraight advice for splashback

    Tried to get it off but it's left the substraight in a pretty crap state. No plaster in places. So I either try and scrape of all the plaster, cut out the plaster board and reboard or overboard with 3mm? Backer board.

    Substraight advice for splashback

    Ok, strange one. My customer was advised to chalk his walls. He has removed the old tiles and adhesive in the kitchen which, luckily, has left the walls in a fairly straight condition. But he had bought tubes of chalk and kind of applied it like you would with plaster to the whole wall. I have...

    Your thoughts on coverage?

    Cheers for the reply Gary. I was mainly conceded how easily they came up considering I had good coverage and back buttered and have never actually had to take my tiles up before after 3 weeks (well never) so didn't know what to expect. I'm not the most experienced tiler so was just after...

    Your thoughts on coverage?

    Haha, yeah you're right, it's a new build to me as I remember it all being fields. I meant that it isn't an old house, it's an estate that was just thrown up, you know what they're like.

    Your thoughts on coverage?

    The concrete has been down for 8 years, but this area is by the front door, and turns out this is also where the cat sometimes decides to empty it's bladder, thought it was a bit stinky :mask: I am not a cat fan

    Spoken to Glynn in tilemaster technical support who was very helpful. He can't see anything wrong with what I have done. Could be that it hasn't fully cured yet. They are going to test the batch and get back to me.

    Your thoughts on coverage?

    Thanks for taking the time to reply. Yes I back buttered too. I was a little concerned on how easy they came up. Strong bond to the concrete but not the tile. Bit worrying really. So suggestions are; not mixed correctly or maybe started to go off prior to laying the tile, although I did lay...

    Your thoughts on coverage?

    Hi I layed 4 tiles for a customer in a front door entrance. The customer then wanted me to rip up the carpet and tile the whole hallway in the same tiles. This meant taking up the tiles I layed. They came up with no difficulty and saw there was pretty good coverage in under most of the tiles imo...
