Hahaha, yeah I'm in the same boat! Many thanks for your replies guys!

I'll defo be doing that next time. I'd be scared the blade will scratch the tiles...

Hi all, I recently refurbished my bathroom, and used silicone sealant around the shower area, in the corner of the tiles. When I applied it, I used a former to get a nice finish, but it's left a really thin film of silicone on either side of the tiles, about an inch wide, which looks shiny...

That's a great shout, I'll go for those. Thanks for the suggestion Andy...

Cheers Andy. I'm just concerned at the extra weight on a stud wall. Hopefully a tiler will be along shortly and tell me to go for it

At its largest, 18mm

Hello Tiling Gods, please answer me in my hour of need. Im doing my own bathroom renovation, as I'm skint and basically an idiot. But I'm quite a handy idiot, who's not afraid of jobs like this. I have a Degree in YouTube, and have watched enough tiling videos to make Roger Bisby's toes curl...

Ah, just saw this message. In answer to your questions, they're 22mm boards. Tanking has been done. They're cement boards. And yes, the waste is being routed below the floor, as there's loads of crawl space underneath, which is accessible from under the house. The base is now in place, straight...

I was torn between here and the tiling forum, but here seems more relevant. I'm about to install a 1650x800 stone resin shower base and am wondering what i should put underneath it. I currently have new floorboards, but am happy to remove them if required. There is substantial crawl space uner...

Hahaha, so 2 inches with the other side? Just wondering what size battens and then screws you used for the cementboard.

That's not a bad idea. What size battens did you use? I'm trying not to lose too much space as well, as I have a 1650 shower base to fit in a 1680 space.

Maybe someone who can sand/cement render would. I'm fairly sure I would be unable to do that, so am sticking with cementboards ;-)

Thanks for your reply. Would you say the 38mm screws are suitable, or should I be looking to source a more suitable option? If I drill the hole in th board big enough to get a plug in, it doesn't leave much meat for the screw head to get a grip on. Should I also be using their £10 a tube...

Morning Tilers, I'm currently in the middle of renovating my downstairs bathroom in my spare time, and am up to the stage of installing 6mm NoMorePly cementboard to the bare brick walls. I've already built a "shelf" which will be inside the shower area (pictured), using 12mm NMP for this, as...

Many thanks for your reply. I agree, being able to solder to the level required to be hidden behind tiles with no worries is probably not going to happen quickly. I will be using copper from and into the shower fittings, Hep2O plastics for the rest. It will be tested up to mains pressure...
