If its only temporary, if be inclined to lift the carpet, wash the tiles, and just lay a slightly thicker cushioned vinyl straight over the top of it.I Save your pennies for when the tiler comes in, throws the whole lot in the bin then restarts and does it properly.

You’re obviously not getting it @aobr31569. That kit is for an easy 2 way join. The O.P is trying, and succeeding in making a 3 way join.

Now that I’ve ‘ zoomed in’ on that green tinged layer stuck to the adhesive …… It’s the old top coat of finishing plaster :)

The ' thin board' you refer to is is actually the tile adhesive. It is stuck solid to the tile because the ( very) dry plaster has sucked all the water out of the adhesive when it was tiled. Keep going and strip everything off; the wall looks in very good condition. It's personal choice...

Your step doesn’t look very high, but has to get under that door drip tray - could you not just remove it altogether and slab at ‘ ground level’ ?

Yip, I’ve been called before to do that for someone. Better being a porcelain tile than a ceramic tile, and it’ll need epoxy resin ( food grade grout)

Well done ! You got there :) Now you’ve got to do a left hand to go with the right hand you’ve mastered :)

Or make it easy for yourself and use a modern flat trim ! Lol ( it’s been years since I’ve installed quadrant on a job )

Hi Tog. Well, you have a few options. Depending on the answers to the following what I would suggest:- 1. What kind, size, and weight of tiles are you putting on ? 2. When you rotate an 1800 level all over the wall, how flat/ plumb/ dips has wall. 3. Are you taking the bath and sink off the wall ?

Also, a ‘Genesis’ tile trim mitre block is an essential piece of kit

Doing the second cut on each length ( the arrowhead) I lie the trim on its back, and cut from the inside out. ( after I’ve cut off a bit of the ‘fin’)

That Sharpie will go beside the white one and the black one in your toolbox ? The white for touching up chips in ceramic tiles, and the black inevitably for porcelains! Lol

If you can’t get all your ‘horizontals’ to line up in the right place, then I would go for a grout line through the taps ( sorry aveatry ) as you DO want the wall taps on the edge of a tile, especially if they are porcelain. That way you are ‘notching out’ the ‘holes’ for your taps with either...

I agree with you 100% Johnny. But the O.P. has still to scratch that itch ! ( you and I have already done it and decided it’s just not worth it ! ) lol

“You simply cut the first 2 trims at 45⁰, then the 3rd trim straight to butt up to the back of the first.” - But that’s a two way mitre with a butt 3rd leg - it’s not what the O.P. asked for or is trying to do ! A proper 3 way mitre does look good, but it does do your head in doing them ! Lol...

Assuming the frame has been fitted correctly, there will be a bead of silicone down the inside of the frame where it screws to the wall. You cannot see this, but it’s what waterproofs the joint. Again, if done correctly, there will be another run of silicone on the outside of the frame; the...

That's a fairly standard framing job - Brown rawl plugs and 5x80 screws. It's a lot easier with 2 drills; one with a masonry bit in for drilling through, and one with the Pozi 2 bit in for the screwing

Whilst I agree with Stevie888 re ' be aware of what's happening with the bath tile' , I would go with your original idea and keep to a full tile off the floor. It's always better to keep the biggest tiles on the bottom. This also means that if you change your size for the top row when you...

if you plant them in pots, make sure there's holes in the bottom of them. Tulips need to be free draining.

I changed my car a few months ago, and took 7 years service history/receipts/assorted paperwork in with me to the dealer for handover…….. ‘Thanks, but we’re not allowed to pass it on, it all gets shredded’
