I wanted to avoid screwing holes into the tiles but it seems that it's probably the best option, it'll also cost a lot less.

You might be right, I used some "Instant Nails" adhesive from Toolstation, they stick together well but the adhesive doesn't seem to dry up.

Hi all I'm looking for a strong adhesive for sticking an L shaped aluminium step protector on tiles, I need it to be really strong bond as it's on a step and I don't want it to come off when people go over the steps. Someone suggested CT1 which is quite expensive, are there any other suitable...

It's £12 per tube! It'll cost me small fortune to do all of the steps.

Hi all I'm looking for a strong adhesive for sticking an L shaped aluminium step protector on tiles, I need it to be really strong bond as it's on a step and I don't want it to come when people step on it, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I've watched a couple of videos on youtube to try and understand what they've done wrong with my stairs, and it does appear to be a quite a difficult job, lots of calculations go into it.

haha I have a feeling telling him that is not going to improve my situation very much.

It's a complete joke, they're trying to blame it on me for not having pointed it out to them earlier!

He's not going to like this... I was wondering if there are any insurance products that protect people from instances like this where contractors don't do a proper job or they cause damage to a property that they're work on, does anyone here have information on that?

Are there any websites that point out such rules and regulations so that I can point them out to the building company when I raise this issue with them?

No, I don't think that we'll need that as they were replacing an old staircase, but the stairs were installed in a shop and they'll be used by customers and I'm afraid this is going to be a problem once we open for business.

Can I refuse to to pay him until he fixes the stairs? The job is practically finished and he's asking me to make the final payment...

Hi all I have had a staircase installed recently and it appears that the carpenter hasn't done such a great job as most of the stairs are around 24cm in height but the heights of the last 3 vary between 26m and 28cm, does anyone here know if that's acceptable or if it could potentially cause...

Just a quick update, if anyone comes across this thread and is looking for a similar product, I managed to find vinyl floor tiles which are usually around 2mm thick, they can be bought from most diy stores, you can also buy them online as well.

Thanks, I think they can be found on eBay as well. I was hoping to find an actual shop that sells them, oddly none of big names like Wickes or B&Q seem to have them!

Hi all I need a few more of these, I think they're called sink clips, but no shops seem to sell them, or I don't know the proper name for them, does anyone here know what they are and which shop sells them? Many thanksSink Clips? by Supreme Leader Yoda posted 9 Oct 2020 at 5:03 PM

I had no idea about building materials and I put my trust in the building company, he's the one who suggested that I buy the MDF stairs from Selco, it's been a really disappointing experience but I did learn quite a lot.

Would painting the treads be a bad idea?

Well a carpenter contracted by my builder did it. Carpet is not really ideal, I'm probably going to use filler for the holes/gaps and then paint if I don't find any other options, what kind of paint would you recommend?

Here's the link to image (https://imgur.com/a/nVauvoL). My only concern is that this is a place of business and since the stairs are made out of MDF, they may become damaged if they're only covered with paint, can you suggest any other options, like thin layers of laminate (I don't if there's...
