Hi, Been to look at a job that has Weyroc boards. Am I correcty in thinking that this is laminate covered chip board? If so what would be the correct steps for tiling, should it be treated as chipboard or ply??? Would obviously be using flexi adhesive & grout. Andy PS - The floor...

You could also use BAL's PTB adhesive (pourable thick bed). Its good for filling dips in floors and will go up to 25mm i think. Also as you mix it up to a "pourable" mix it will ensure that you get a 100% bed for your tiles which you will require if they are thin.

As you are using glass tiles, you should also make sure your adhesive is white and has 100% coverage otherwise you might see the wall or adhesive through the tile. Also agree with the others re leaving a small gap above the bath (eg 1 2mm spacer). Andy

Hi, Looking to buy a new "wet" diamond tile cutter. Have seen a number of radial tile cutters where the blade cuts the static tile from above as apposed to sliding the tile over a static blade. Screwfix Example http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=23661&ts=11339# Has...

I would presume that if your bill is double then we are talking about a serious quantity of water. Just imagine all the water you use for baths, showers, washing up, washing machine etc in one week and then try to imagine not seeing it if it was under your sink! If you had a small leak in your...

Oooops... well spoted...I should know better. Did this job a few years back now and would not make the same mistake now.... :lol:

Darren, In a previous post I mentioned I had a picture of some mosaics around a shower bar. Finally found a way to let the world see! http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g244/andrewdann/DSCN0282.jpg Andy

Thanks for the tip, setting up an account now. Andy

Hi, As above, I would like to upload a few pictures from time to time for viewing by others on this and other forums. Whats the best (and free) way of doing this?? Thanks Andy

I would also level out the bath first as you may see the 2.5cm drop over the length of the bath. I have tiled a number of bathrooms with plain tiles and a band of mosaics in each case I planned that the moasics went in line with the shower bar. I found it easier to arrange the mosaics around...

Hi, Looking at possibly buying a house which has a conservatory along the complete rear of the property. It currently covers the dining room patio doors and the kitchen windows. and is a slightly lower floor level. Have been thinking that it might be better to convert/change the...

Thanks for your help. Looks like my tool box needs some LSX and some "basin mate seals" which I have just found for £1.20 at toolstation. Thanks again Andy

So basically, i presume there isn't any preferred method of making a water tight seal its a case of using your own preferred "gunk" (plumbers mate, silicon etc) to make a seal? Thanks for your replies anyway. Andy

Had a number of problems with a couple of bathroom sink wastes that I have installed recently and i'm obviously doing something wrong! I seem to be unable to seal the waste properly on the underside of the basin by the large nut. Is there a correct technique that anyone can suggest ? I have...

Did a couple of installations like this myself recently and used a shower bar wall plate (tool station) as previously mentioned. I took the plasterboard off the wall, added some new timber to support the plate at the screw holes. I calcualted the thickness of the board, tiles and adhesive and...

Did a similar job myself - Presume that if you have a combi then you don't have a tank in your airing cupboard? I would chase the pipework back from the bath/sink taps to a point closest to where you want to fit your mixer. Presume also that as you have a combi then the hot and cold are at mains...

Hi, Changing out an old WC and have some problems with the new WC and the soil pipe. The existing soil pipe and WC is in the corner of the bathroom. The soil pipe exits through a solid wall and is about 6" away from the rear wall (pipe runs parallel to rear wall). My problem is...
