Hi All,
Ive just ordered 23msq of 600 x 300 glazed porcelain tiles, the shop wanted £80 for adhesive which caught me off guard a little as I hadnt budgeted for that (its the first bathroom I have ever had done lol). The tiler has asked me to get everything in for him. My question is, does £80 seem right for 23msq? How many 20kg bags should I need? What should I use?
The walls are reasonable straight although I think one wall may need a couple of mm of adhesive to get the brick effect right. the same tiles are going on the floor and I'll put down some ply, is 6mm ply ok?
The tiles seem glazed but the edges dont seem to be, should I seal them? again what sealer should I use and how much should I be paying?
One other thing is the walls were painted with bathroom paint a couple of years ago, what should I prep them with or is this something you would expect the tiler to do? I have a big tub of PVA left over, is this any good?
apologies for being such a noob
Many thanks in advance for any help
