Personally I would never have skirting if the walls & floor are to be tiled, especially in a bathroom. My problem is to cove or not to cove. I guess as coving is already there, then its best to leave as is. Cheers

Thanks. Does the £15 per m2 include ripping old tiles off. 20m2 to tile and I was thinking in the region of about £500 for ripping off existing tiles and putting new ones on (large tiles)................

Hi, I am about to get a quote for tiling my en-suite and was wondering what anyone thinks the price should be approximately. Room is 9ft x 7ft and will need tiles stripping off first and then replacing with standard 25cm x 15cm tiles from floor to ceiling (ceiling height is around 7.5ft I...

Hmm! mixed advice but thanks. Still can't make my mind up. Anyone got any websites showing pics of a tiled room with / without coving? Thanks a lot guys.

Hi, I am about to get my bathroom ceiling smooth plastered and then plan to fully tile the walls and floor. I would appreciate any professional opinions on whether I should keep the existing coving or remove it and tile straight to the new ceiling. Basically, I haven't seen many bathroom...

Just took the plunge and bought it (was going to buy for £399 on monday and I thought it was cheap then!). It comes with a shower waste anyway (http://www.plumbworld.co.uk/433-16263 This waste has a depth of 10cm and it looks like the tray waste outlet is raised a good few cms from the...

I wont need to cut as much as this out the joist LOL http://www.flickr.com/photos/taragl/274282968/

Thanks chaps for the tips. It is a 1400 by 900 tray with the waste directly in the centre and my joist is exactly 700 from the wall it HAS to go against. I cannot turn it. I guess the answer is to raise it up. Would it just need support around the edges of the tray or under the standing areas...

Hi, I am trying to fit a shower tray but the waste trap falls directly over the joist. I need to cut a 20cm length by 15cm depth in the joist. The joist is 20cm in depth. Can anyone recommend a way of strengthening the remainder of the joist to allow the cut? Or better still recommend a waste...

Thanks a lot. Should I do the same for a ceramic wash basin?

Hi, I am fitting a waste outlet to an acrylic bath and have used plumbers mait under the flange. Is this Ok or should I have used silicone sealant? What is the difference and is silicone sealant the same as the one used to seal the edge of the bath to the tiles? Thanks for any help.

Thanks breezer. I'll just connect it to the existing light fitting.

I have just purchased a shower light but was wondering if I can connect this to the cord switch used to turn the electric shower on. In this way, the light will come on only when you are taking a shower. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Ok. Thanks for your help
