Thanks for the replys. Selotape peeled off easy with no plaster. I started the tiling on the walls at the weekend, filled in the gaps with plasterboard and grip, solid when dried. I used 3mm as 2mm did look too small and 3mm will hopefully hide some of my mistakes better, tiles not totally...

Hi tictic, the plaster was just a skim over plastered block walls, I thought the skim should be dried by now? For quickness I might try the infill with plasterboard, whats the best way to fix to the wall? Wall behind is brick/block. Tiles are about 248x398mm, what size spacer should be...

I have just finished tiling my bathrrom floor and about to get started on the walls. The walls were plastered two weeks ago, the plasterer did not plaster right to the floor (is this because of damp?)(and i was not there when he finnished to question) There is a 6cm gap, see pic. Should I...

Hi guys, I've already had some advice off here from richardc last month regarding tiling my bathroom, thought I would create a new post of where I am at now and whats next. I have removed the old chipboard floor and reinforced the beams with some noggins. Also put down some new 25mm ply...

Someones snapped a spindle on the stairs, no ones owning up to it. Snap is at the thinest part it the spindle and is a clean break that cannot be seen when put back together. What's the best glue to usefor strength and one that won't make a mess?

Another thing, this is in the downstairs bathroom, which is next door to the cloakroom with fuse box so a run of 5m i would imagine The power cable is loose running inside the celing void but unsure how its connected/fixed up behind the fuse box wall. Does this make a difference when...

ok, looks like it is 6mm as its 14mm across and each cable is 5mm. So the fuse should not be 45? Is 6mm fine for 8.5 showers? Oh, and I can see the sink is bonded, not sure on pan Thanks again

Just about to order the parts to renew my bathroom. Though I better check what size shower/cable is there just now. The shower is a trion 8.5 and the fuse in the fusebox is marked ln5945 b45 -so a 45. I am unsure of the size of existing cable, can someone confirm the size? I have a mira...

Thanks again Richard. 1200x700 shower tray is in corner of room against two solid block walls, glass screen/door on other two sides. Plan to tile inside shower from top to bottom and halfway up for the rest of the room. My mate (getting us the parts, works in a plumbers) is having...

Thanks for the reply Richard. Tiler said it was easier/cheaper for me to fit the ply for him and was happy for me to do so, think it was 9 or 12mm, screwed every 10cm. I told him the floor would still not be level after putting the ply down but said it was fine and he could pack it out...
