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.
- Hi all, Was looking for some advice in regards to micro-cracks appearing on the SLC on top of the Wunda rapid response system that was put down. The boards were primed twice with Mapei Eco Grip Plus before Mapei renovation screed 3240 was poured on top. The cracks appeared after 2-3 days of drying and there has been light footfall over the areas. The subfloor is a mixture of concrete and suspended tongue and groove floorboards and plan to have 10mm porcelain tiles laid on top with either of 2 methods: 1. decoupling membrane and S1 adhesive 2. S2 adhesive […]
- Hi all I paid for a damaged tile to be replaced in a bathroom of my rental property in Aug 23. (The brief was to make the area water tight by replacing and re-sealing where needed.) The work was completed and monies paid. (£300) All was good, or so I thought. Due to issues with communication from the letting agent I discovered in June last year, less than 12 months on, that the new tiling had failed. The contractor said its ‘wear and tear’ and have provided photos of the work on the day of completion stating it was done […]
- I'm fitting a new shower, 3 walls and a sliding door in a frame. The tray will be tanked to the wall with tanking tape, then tiled. I've read in a few places to seal the between try the tray and tile where the frame meets the wall before adding the door frame so that water can't get behind. That bit I get. What I'm struggling with is after fitting the frame I should seal around the outside of it. But on the bottom corners it will be Silicon over the first Silicon seal. I keep reading Silicon doesn't stick […]
- I have dot and dabbed my bathroom with 9.5mm plasterboard. I plan on tiling using 600×300 tiles which weight 2.7 KG each. Will these be okay to hold the weight?
- Hi all Hope you are all well. Beginner here, but wanted to get some advice about tiling a small bathroom. The bathroom has been installed with cement boards in preparation for tilling. – should I seal the boards with waterproofing where the shower bath area will be? – the tiles I have are 120×60 porcelain marble effect tiles which are matt. I’m looking to minimise the grout line as much as possible, perhaps 1mm max. Should I use an epoxy grout for longevity or just use standard grout? If so could you recommend me one please? Thank you for your […]

- Good evening. Im not sure if this is the best place to ask this but I'm looking fir some advice on what to do about a gap between the worktop and tiles. Long story short I've a gap of around 9mm between the tiles and worktop. The reason I've ended up with this gap is due to the window by the sink. So I end up with a full tile beneath the sill rather then a cut tile as its got corner trim i thought this would look better and work out ok with Silicon. but after doing it I'm […]

- Hello, I have dot and dabbed my bathroom of 9.5mm plasterboards. I am planning to tile on to these with 600×300 tiles weight 2.7kg each. Is this okay for the weight of the plasterboards to hold? I assumed it would be okay? They have been dabbed on well
- Evening guys, I’m very interested in a career as a self employed tiler, a company nearby (Lee on Solent) called silver trowel construction academy runs courses but before I part with cash I was wondering if anyone has used them before? I have done a fair amount of tiling but I know that there’s always lots to learn so I thought I would apply for one of their courses while I’m still employed and start out doing any small jobs I can get to build a bit of a portfolio. They are a 5 minute drive away so it would […]

- Hi everyone! I'm looking to purchase tile saws to handle large format tile up to 48". How many of you are getting by with a high quality snapper and grinder setup vs a bridge saw? I'm looking to purchase the Sigma Series 4 NEX 49" cutter but I'm wondering if maybe starting out with a bridge saw might be a better option. Any advice or input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks! PS. I'm currently working with a Montolit 24" cutter and the Rubi DT-7" wet saw.
- Hi everyone, You’ve probably had many of these messages on here over the years but here’s another. I am looking to find a company or person who can take me on as a tilers mate in order to gain more experience and confidence in tiling. I have recently completed a level 1 NVQ in wall and floor tiling and have found it difficult since to find anyone to help me progress further. I have worked with family members and people who work in the trades and have completed various small tiling jobs. I’ve had experience doing splashbacks and some large […]
- Hi All Looking for advice on prep for rendered and plastered walls…. have taken old tiles off and its taken large chunks of plater and render off the walls. How do you guys go about preparing this for tiling? Do you just patch the holes and then prime and go for it? If so, what do you normally use to patch holes? Or do you prefer to go for a full skim? Or ive even thought about overboarding with 6mm waterproof board!! But thats a lot more time and money! And my only thoughts with fully skimming it is drying […]
