They should be fine,tiles are fired at high tempretures. Make sure you use a flexible adhesive and grout. Ive tiled a few fireplaces including my own and never had any problems.

If you have seen his work and think its good then take the quote. Looking at the sq meterage you have given I would quote more but that would include adhesive,grout etc so would be a similar final price.

10mm notch on floors Adhesive on floors is normally a 3mm bed when laid,this can be less on high spots and more on low (up to 10mm with the adhesive I use) The adhesive should be stiff enough to mantain its shape not runny. The floor should be flat,no rocking on the level and no dips...

What brand is the grout and what colour are you using?Grout will normally go darking if wet but should dry out Is it water repellant or water resistant or water proof?

Rake out hte grout around it and then drill a hole in the center.You should then be able to lever the pieces out.

Looking at it and taking in to account the price may be ok with ceramic but would doubt if it will touch porcelain.

It could be the seal or the grout or a combination of both.Did you mark the damp area?I would cut out a hole in the ply and check behind first. This is why tanking is always recommended in showers normally up to the height of 1m

Ive had flexi that I found at the back of my garage and used,been there for months .Worked ok only thing being that if its rapid set it will go off a bit qucker. :wink:

How many corners/cuts apart from the sockets,size of tiles,what are the tiles...porcelain,ceramic,natural stone,how many sq meters? I would suggest that you get two or three different quotes,ask for references,pics etc.

Yeah,Im all for helping a worthy cause and seeing whats going on out there is very sad but I think the stars should be seen to put their hands in their own pockets for a change instead of everyone elses.Cowells worth millions,c'mon Simon dig deep!!

Well I just wanted to say a big thank you to all those stars who will be giving up their time to sing,perform etc for the Haiti appeal to encourage us to donate. Just wonder how much of their own cash they have put in the pot?? :? I would be happy to hand over a week of my wages if all the...

Any new construction will settle a bit,may only be a few mm but I would say you are right to be a bit concerned. You cannot garantee that the floor wont move as this will depend on factors like type of soil,depth of foundations closely located trees.

If its only 4mm deep skim it in with some powdered flexi rapid,it will dry enough to tile on it a couple hours.

Have you noticed Richard that since Gcol and Jeff haven't been posting another "regular" has stopped posting too,one who was constantly getting up peoples noses!Makes me think he really was just doing it to annoy.

PVA is not advisable in a bathroom,it creates a weak link,acrylic primer is the way to go and is only a few pounds more. And using a tanking kit is worth the extra. Tub adhesive would not be recommended either,a powdered flexi adhesive is best.

Only if its a diamond bit,going through porcelain with anything is possible but needs constant cooling and will take ages.

Its not advisable to tile over bonding,if its only small patches you can get away with it but large areas would need a skim.
