this may sound quite silly with it being a new kitchen, but double check all over that the worktop is level. probably is but worth the extra couple of mins to make sure :wink:

soapy water??? use washing up liquid in a spray bottle to spray the silicone once applied but make sure before you start the area is dry, to finish off also spray the tool or your finger with the washing up liquid then smooth it off. works every time :D

could mean basic pva to seal..... ask questions to him make sure you know exactly what your getting for your money.

NETT tiling training in newcastle upon tyne are well recommended through the country, darren is the tiling tutor. google them, worth the trip 1st class service.

cutting curves is easy especdially with tiles of your size, get yourself a rubi 6mm blade it comes on what looks like a smaller biro pen. pressure onto the tile "not too much though" make your shape and snap it off. if its a strong curve then score your curve then wet saw the middle of the curve...

rich c should stay!!! learnt so much reading his posts and would be little lost without the invaluable advice of the man. no disrespect to others.

hi, iv just finished fitting of a 900mm quadrant shower tray. i had to raise the frame approx 5inch for the waste fall. putting the waste under floorboards wasnt an option. know im wondering whats the best product to fit to fill the gap???

thanks for your experience rich, this forum would be nothing without good chaps like yourself. i didnt go with the addy route over one coat iv just primed (no pva for me)and made a start on the tiling today..... fingers crossed :D

you will also find it difficult to fit the fixtures and fittings onto porcelain tiles if your not experienced (drilling can be very tough). use the correct drill bits.

i used thistle one coat to patch it up. could i thinly skim coat this with rapid set addy ready for tiling, surely got to be safer option than tiling straight over the one coat??

rich mate the walls went down back to the block, just poking all the loose bits away. the tiles are ceramic 600x300 so i know theres a little weight issue there. heard other tilers in the past saying they patch with one coat..... i know skim finish is ok to tile to (less weight though)...

just wondering if an area approx 2m2 has been patched with thistle one coat plaster 6mm depth can it be directly tiled onto, obviously primed 1st (not PVA) hear so many different views and never actually come across it until now. thanks

steve mate it looks like plstering hasnt took his laptop......... lets hope hes not forgotten his marshall :lol:

get the red carpet out on that matie :)

knowing the answers and double checking them with more experienced guys to be certain before job starts. similar to measuring twice and cutting just the once :wink:
