There will be a gap between the door frame and the architrave due to the increased thickness of the tile backer board. Do you have any suggestions on how to install the architrave in this situation?

How do you properly tile around a door frame when the backer board and tiles are positioned above the door frame? Should the tiles extend beneath the architrave so that it can be placed on top of the tiles, or should the tiling stop where it meets the architrave?

It’s a stone resin tray 1200 x 760. I’ve not installed the tray yet - the company I purchased from have offered to replace it but did say it’s within tolerance. I’ll take them up on that offer as I want to avoid issues in the future.

I’m planning to install a shower tray, but I’ve noticed it’s bowed by about 3mm, which is within the manufacturer’s tolerance. My concern is how to securely attach a shower screen, given that the tray isn’t perfectly flat. Do you have any advice on the best approach?

I’ve dry-fitted my shower tray waste. Can anyone spot any potential issues? (Please ignore the sawdust, I’ll clean everything before the final fit.)

I’m installing a shower tray and noticed a brush icon in the instructions labeled “PVC.” Do you know what this indicates?

yes seems more sturdy - will go for 2 135deg bends to get the waste onto the same vertical level

I’m in the process of connecting a shower tray waste and have encountered an issue. The tray is being installed on plywood, with layers of chipboard and OSB beneath it, which has raised the trap significantly. As a result, it’s not aligning with the existing waste pipes. Would it be better to...

would flex adhesive work for plywood? Forgot to say the tray is stone resin if that makes any difference

There’s a lot of conflicting opinions on this . Though, Roger is the man so I think I’ll go with sand and cement.

After researching the debate between using a mortar mix or tile adhesive for laying a shower tray, I’ve decided to go with tile adhesive. Does anyone have any recommendations or thoughts on this? I was considering using the following product...

I agree - I’ll be speaking to the company I bought this from.

I’ve checked the sides and it’s not level - though I’m sure this is the floor rather than the tray so planning on padding it on one side with adhesive when I lay it down. Was just unsure about the middle edges being raised.

I’ve recently purchased a shower tray, and I noticed that the middle is slightly raised when I check it with a spirit level. Are the edges of a shower tray supposed to be completely flat, or is this normal? Should I be concerned about this affecting installation or water drainage?

Are large format tiles too heavy for plastered plasterboard? I’m planning to install 600 x 1200 x 8 mm tiles in my bathroom. They weigh approx. 15kg per tile. I’ve already used tile backer board on one half of the bathroom after removing some existing tiles, which also removed the underlying...

Is this too large a gap at the top of tile backer board? The board is secured in place so can’t easily replace it so thinking I could fill it with silicone or put in a thin piece.

I’ve removed some plasterboard in my bathroom from an external wall and discovered there’s not enough insulation, so I need to add more. I already have some loft insulation—can I use this, or do I need insulation specifically designed for cavity walls?

I’ve removed some plasterboard in my bathroom and found that the insulation is only covering half of the external wall. Not sure how long it’s been like this, but I’ll need to fix it now. I believe the current material is fiberglass insulation, though I’m not entirely sure. I need about 2 sqm...

Will try to find WBP ply locally as delivery is costs are expensive. I’m planning on tanking the walls up to the lip of the shower tray. Is it better to tank the ply too? And how would this be done?
