TilersForums.co.uk has supported the tiling training industry right across the UK since 2006. The owner of Tilers Forums used to teach tiling when he created Professional-ITT.
PITT was the first independent training centre for tiling, that wasn’t an adhesive company just hoping to get tilers hooked on their brands.
Ever since, Tilers Forums UK has supported all training centres. And these are the discussion threads.
- Hello, First post. Wish I had known about this forum several years ago. Here's my question. I’ve finally got my tile floor in and am now preparing to install 11.5” x 23.5” tiles in the tub enclosure. Attached is an image of pic to GoBoard mounted on top of the tub flange. My question is whether or not to mount the tiles directly to the deck of the tub or use spacers in order to provide a degree of separation between the tub deck and the tile. I have ¼” web spacers available to use. If the prevailing view is […]

- Which Tile Adhesive and grout brand did you use the most in the last 12 months? And also, reply to the thread with where you source the adhesive please? I realise that sometimes your first choice adhesive brand may not be locally available or your grout brand is different to your adhesive. In those cases vote for the adhesive brand you used most as by weight you'd have used far more adhesive than grout over the 12 months. It would be nice if The Tile Association, Tilers Community (Facebook) and UK Tiling Forum, and any other popular places tilers spend […]

- Hi, 1200 wide tray and tiling shower enclosure recess with metro tiles where the 1200 wide wall is the first thing see as enter room hence would want to centre tiles on that wall. That means on alternate rows you would be left c8-10mm short of a full tile at each end given the grout joints between 6x 200 wide tiles. In this scenario would you generally start afresh with a full new tile on the adjacent side wall rather than putting a 10mm thin cut of tile followed by a full one…..as this would still maintain the wrap around […]
- Hi i am Vinny, i am new to this forum and looking for advice on some old tiles that need replacing, on the back it says Sintopress made in Italy
- Hi, Need to choose a grout for the above. For the black floor tiles 300×600 am thinking either Mapei black or Larson colourfast anthracite (as have bag of this available) if the Mapei is too black. The floor tiles themselves aren’t jet black so the Mapei black might be too black though do like look of the tiles at front of first photo of the tiles here: Lounge Black Matt Porcelain Wall & Floor Tile | Tile Mountain – https://www.tilemountain.co.uk/lounge-black-matt-porcelain. Not sure if on drying the Mapei black is more of a charcoal / v v dark grey anyway? I’m […]

- Hi, I've laid an external porcelain patio on a sand and cement bed with ultrascape priming slurry. It was layed just under 5 weeks ago. I am wanting to grout the patio but am concerned about doing it when it is wet/not fully dry I wouldn't be concerned if it hadn't been raining so much but there has been rain consistently over the last month and more in the forecast over the next week at least, is this something I shouldn't worry about as long as there is no water pooling in the joints? When would you say it's safe […]

- Hi guys. My son, 16, not enjoying school or college has been working with me for a bit of money doing some grouting, sealing, cleaning and the odd bit of cutting(supervised of course). Talking to him today we mentioned apprenticeships. This is the first time Ive heard him interested in maybe learning about tiling but for the life of me I cant find an apprenticeship for tiling in West Sussex. Is it true that for such a specialised job that we do there isnt an apprenticeship? Im eager not to let the moment slip. If anyone can send me a […]

- I'm just wondering how to tile round an internal corner in terms of how to butt the tiles up to the wall. As they say, a picture says a thousand words, so should I go for A or B: And whichever option I go for, am I right in thinking that I'd need to caulk the join between the tiles that meet, rather than grout? Thanks…
- Hi all, We have to lift a section of floor in the kitchen and would like to replace with the same tiles when done rather than completely retile the kitchen and conservatory. The tiles are by Cerpa and are called Porcelanico Pasta Blanca. If anyone knows of anyone who might stock them it would be much appreciated. It's about 15 years since they were laid so i realise they may be discontinued. Chris
- I want to install some tile adjacent to outdoor fish ponds. This will be installed on wood, so I want to use S2 (high deformability) adhesive. Which type of adhesive would be least toxic to the fish (Type C – cement based, Type D – Dispersion, Type R – Resin). Also, which particular manufacturer/brand would be suitable for this application?
- I'm tiling our bathroom, some basics – floor: 3/4" OSB T&G, 12" I-joists, 16" on center, new construction. I'm using the Schluter/Ditra-Heat uncoupling membrane but no heat cable under the tub that will be going in. The tub: Kohler slipper tub with four 1" dia. stainless legs and a composite skirt around the base, hiding the legs. The tub weighs 500 lbs. empty and holds 70 gallons of water. The floor tile is 18"x24". My question: with the tub full plus an occupant (two if I'm lucky), it will weigh in the area of 1350 pounds. Each leg will be […]
