    3 way mitre with quad trim?

    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

    12.5 tiles high, how to cut.

    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...

    3 way mitre with quad trim?

    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

    3 way mitre with quad trim?

    “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...

    Tile at the edge of shower frame

    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...

    Looking for advice

    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

    12.5 tiles high, how to cut.

    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...

    Tulip bulbs soil

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

    Is revealing a cars service history a security risk.

    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’

    LVT Prep - Ply Over Hardboard?

    Hard to tell from that photo - but that looks like chipboard to me ? Anyway, if you are ' plying ', all you need are Ringshank nails. No need for anything over the tops or joins.

    Your question might already be answered, when you lift the carpet and find that it is in fact already ply’d !

    Tile to worktop join

    Using a nice new Stanley Blade will be the easiest way to get the old stuff off.

    Tile to worktop join

    As above, you need a bigger bead, and a shaped tool ! When shaping your profile, with those bevelled ' metro' type tiles you have to take care to make sure you get more of it on the tile than than the worktop. And it's not ' difference between kitchen sealant and bathroom sealant' you need to...

    Wallpapering around these radiator brackets?

    As @opps above, but with matchsticks with sharpened ends sticking out ! That way, just brush the paper right over them, and let them puncture through.

    How do I fix this tiling by a cowboy builder?

    I'm just giving you my opinion, as a professional Tiler. That mess isn't for fixing.

    It's not what you want to hear, but the whole lot needs skip'd, and a professional Tiler employed.
