If they are med tiles and as its only a wc I would use bal green star.trade price from my local topps is about £6.50 You could use the rapid flexi if you wanted though.

ok maybe the paving slab is a bit extreme :lol: Just a brick.

Item 13 http://www.tiles.org.uk/help/answer-gypsum.shtml?hilite=finishing+plaster New gypsum plaster http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/s_moreinfo/2932_1_Bal_Grip_and_Blue_Star.pdf I never mentioned skim coat and if I fix to it I would use an acrylic primer first.

Put a paving slab through the window and defecate in the sinks,works everytime :wink:

You will need to rake out the grout around them first,you can just knock a chisel or bolster behind the top layer ones,as for the ones with tiles above start with the middle one,I would hit it with a hammer a few times to break it then lever the bits out then you should be able to get under the...

Tiling onto bonding/undercoat is not a good idea as the adhesive doesnt bond well to it. You can dot and dab plasterbrd on though and tile directly onto it as you suggested.

Sounds a bit higher than I would quote but London rates and all that :wink:

I read on another forum that someone insulated their wc cistern inside using a yoga mat,not sure how they fixed it.

You can regrout,you need to rake out the old grout as much as you can then brush out the loose debris.Grout as normal no need for pva. http://www.wickes.co.uk/Heavy-Duty-Grout-Rake/invt/235404?source=123_4

If they can't aim straight make em sit down :wink:

http://www.answers.com/topic/floating-floor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_floor It's not a floating floor because it is fixed.

What do you mean by a floating floor?floor brds on joists? I would inerprite floating floor as laminate where the flooring just lays on the floor with no fixings.

What you need to consider is the weight.What is the wall they are fixed to? Bonding and skim,plasterbrd and skim. Recommended weights are 20kg per sqm for plasterbrd and skim or bonding and skim 32kg per sqm for plasterbrd with no skim.

Don't use pva to prime it,use an acrylic primer. If you are going to fit the no more ply cement boards over the top then skim with flexi adhesive lay the no more ply then screw down at 200mm centers.

Spruce is for constructional use yes but not for exterior.You can seal with varnish or some old goss as long as it stops it absorbing moisture from beneath.

If you aim for about a sqm an hour then you should be ok,thats 44 tiles an hour for 6"x6".I'm not a fast tiler but I get plenty of work,stick with going for quaility and don't get caught up too much with how many sqm you need to be doing.

I wouldn't use spruce,wbp ply is better,you shouldn't need to overboard with the no more ply.Seal the undersides of the ply and edges before fixing.

I'd be looking at about £25 per sqm,if there are lots of cuts ie in a kitchen sockets etc then a bit more but I supply my own grout,adhesive and trim.

Depends on the size of the tile,type of tile eg ceramic,porcelain,travetine etc,what substrate your fixing to.........if your trying to give a price for tiling then I would say try to estimate the time its going to take you then add 20% more. I didn't start getting pricing close until I'd been...
