nah going to overboard. I think I got carried away by saying a couple of mm rubbery finish, it just like a painted finish on top of weyroc, it's not at all flexible. I dont plan on having the floor getting saturated. Will get myself along to the builders merchant this afternoon to see what...

I'm going to buy some WBP today. Would it be better to lay it as one sheet or to lay it in strips? The blue coating on the floor is painted on, it definately not a protective film. I realise the grout and adhesive isnt "water proof", the only reason I have stated that so often is I was...

The floor isn't gree its blue. I'm sure it's chipboard but it has a rubberised finish on top which is a couple of mm thick. When water leaked out of the waste it didnt go anywhere, it just sat on top of the floor for several hours overnight until I mopped it in the morning.

Well the wall tiles are on now and just got the grout done on one of the walls last night, looks great, will get the rest grouted today. Need to mount the towel warmer/radiator, then remove it to grout that area too and tile around where the pipes come out the wall. The bath waste isnt...

The plasterboards aren't skimmed, which going off what you have just said is a good thing! I'm not sure of the weight of a box as dont have any scales, it feels a bit heavier than 25kg. One box covers 1.35 sqm so again from what you have said I'd think they are pretty much on the limit. I'm...

We opted for a waterproof readymixed porcelain wall adhesive as recommended by the tiler at the wholsesaler, it's Sovereign Gold Star. I queried this after reading the sticky thread but he dismissed it saying that he has never had a problem with it as it's not a cheapy. The walls are...

I may as well start a new project thread here, already asked a couple of questions relating to the new bath we got, but I can see a few more queries popping up! I decided last month to get a shower to attach to the bath taps. We ordered the new bath, new mixer tap and basin taps. The idea...

Ok thanks, it's what I suspected. I think it's a decent quality product, certainly wasn't the cheapest. It's made by Wirquin.

Well I got my new bath, 5mm acrylic with an encapsulated base, from a supplier on ebay. It cost just over £100 and is spot on. Got the bath installed ok, it was a bit of a chew on for a first timer but we got there in the end. I even had to drill the holes for the taps which was a lot...

Ok thanks for the advice. Dont think I'll bother claiming for it, the excess is £100 so may as well just bite the bullet and buy a new bath.

Can anyone offer some tips on how to remove expanding foam from an acryllic bath. It is around the edge of the bath and was smeared when wet so now we have a thin layer all along the side. I have tried using a stanley knife blade to scratch away at it but if I continue to do this I will end up...

Thanks for the replies, gives me something to work with when i go and check it out at B&Q. The reason for wanting to do it cheaply is because we have a lot going on atm. Have been doing some work in the garage, painting it, putting up wall units, have bought some decent racking for it. I...

Just starting a small project in our bathroom, want to change the bath taps to a mixer type with a shower attachement. Have researched what taps we want (and for basin to match), have found a decent shower screen we like, waterproof flooring, wall tiles, etc. I said to my wife we may as well...

Wow this is an old thread! My deck is pretty much finished, just need to finish the hand rail and put steps down to the lower part of the garden. It looks great if I do say so myself. Seems to have taken ages but with weather being so bad towards the end of the summer last year, work stopped...

That's a solid looking frame! I'm putting joists every 1.2m but you've got them every 0.5m by the look of things? This decking carry on is doing my head in lol, I keep worrying that I will make a right arse of it :P I'll buy enough postcrete for 1 bag per hole judging by what you've said.
