[QUOTE="dottigirl, post: 964386, member: 50336"] [I]delurks[/I] Hi, My late mother did an 'interesting' tiling job, and I now want to make it look a little more finished. There's pics on this thread: [URL="https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/5265640/bathroom-with-peach-suite-colour-scheme-to-update-please"]Bathroom with peach suite - colour scheme to update please? - https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/5265640/bathroom-with-peach-suite-colour-scheme-to-update-please[/URL] (though the suite is actually cream) [B]Adhesive [/B]- I've read your comments on the Keracoll Biogel and that sounds simple enough to use, as long as it'll work with stone/quartz mosaics on a plastic backing? [B]Grout [/B]- I had decided on the Tilemaster 3000 in white but I've read the threads saying that it's now rapid setting. I am not a fast worker - I will need to stand back and figure things out - plus the mosaics will need a bit of fussing. I'm also planning on regrouting some areas of the existing tiles. Which is a decent, newbie-level grout please? [B]Mosaics [/B]- The ceramic tile edges are bare, showing biscuit and look unfinished. I found some mosaics which I can cut down to use as trim and in sheets in awkward places like behind the loo and sink (I don't have a proper cutter). Does this sound OK please? [B]23x40 tiles[/B] - the tiles she used were either Dommo Marfil or Jasper R40 in Cream from Azteca Ceramica, which went bust a while ago. I've found some Jasper (light) Grey ones on offer. Not entirely convinced they will go, but at least the grout lines will match up, and the mosaics will sit between the two. (There's a plan on the above link.) If this sounds like it'll look dated or too fussy, please let me know. You all know more about tiling styles than I do. (I'd love to do a total bathroom refurb with larger tiles, but I just don't have the money.) I think that's about it. Grout is the main thing, but advice regarding potential c*ckups is always appreciated. :flushed: [/QUOTE]
