Im getting ready to sort bathroom floor. The original board had tile adhesive down directly (thanks cowboy) so i had no option but to sand it off with grinder. The floor isnt big but has this 10mm bowed section. This is the most hard trafficked section for getting out the bath etc so might be...

Answered my own question already, legs are not secured enough and they've moved out of position due to not being tight enough. German engineering works but it aint for idiots and you should always read there fking manuals to the death lol. 50 quid of mistake but you live and learn don't you.

I will try that in the morning but its clearly not tightened i think. Its annoying as the legs wouldnt budge when i wobbled them around. Manufacture videos show it notched in so i think the writings on the wall and i need to buy legs again.

Just put the bath feet onto a bette select. First leg set went on, tightened up, the nut came off....then went to so second leg and noticed i should have the metal belt within the notches on the side of the bath so it tightened against it. Dipsht didnt on the first set! I was confident with...

I was going to say I wouldnt use plasterboard. What about movement of stud walls and tape scrim

I hope so I'm going to be using it soon to do tilebacker!

Why would you sand down after a mist coat? Surely it's not that bad if you are thinking about this. I find the earlier you correct plaster hairlines and issues like yours the better it is to layer up paint.

Nice tips thanks. Im doing my bathroom and Roger and the boys on Skillbuilder are a great help.

I bought some Rawlplug RKEM in the event thermalite im having to screw into wouldn't work but never needed to use it. Few reviews on Youtube for it.

Hello again 23vc, time to get foaming then! Can tile backer be used as a reveal or do i need to purchase specific stuff for a window as im tiling over them.

Hi, I have taken this window back to masonry to retile. Original windows were late 90's build and They were added in. Its got some lovely gaps. Do I remove the damp sheet and foam in all around this gap? Do i do this with the bottom as it will need 40mm of tilebacker. I can see why the...

That's fine mate, it's not easy with the variation now days. I'm getting a level ish on the vial when I put the spirit vertically, that vial reading was what worried me. Next worry is should I see any movement after screwing on 20mm Tilebacker (XPS)

Cheers, when you say bonding I take it you mean adhesive bond? This is a metal stud wall though ?

Mate says I can get away with higher runs of tile adhesive with what ive got.

I will be tiling my bathroom with porcelain 600x300's and focusing on the tilebacker at the moment. First Issue is I've got about 5mm out on a plumbline on a first metal stud wall and im sure the rest will be with issues so how to solve? I've thought about shimming with some plastic packers...

This section has old PB on thermalite and based om the section coming out its wrecked the thermalite. I will be tiling up to the window. In the second picture there is some 30mm gap between thermalite and where they splodged adhesive on before. Im reluctant to remove the PB as it runs around...

None of these as I've not bought one yet. Had a sparks round and it will go into PL that also feeds the extractor fan overrun.

Pipe Bending was a flaff but got the nack of it I had a few ripples but nothing to worry about on reviewing. I also went and bought a torch, in reality I really didn't want to worry about fixing compression fitting leaks on an elbow up in my loft and in a channelled bit of thermalite! Using...

Yes that would be the case. I was thinking about adding a switch live but would I be allowed to add this ? It's just on the Zone 1 and 300mm to the side of the bath/shower zone.

I will be installing a mirror with light in my bathroom. Not sure what one yet but my plan was run the power off of the last downlight straight through and use On/Off switch on the mirror? With walls not covered yet I've Got the options for wiring at the moment so any help is appreciated.
