I am by no means a tiler or tiling expert but im just going off what ive read on this forum. Find the centre point of the wall and working outwards horizontly work out where your tile will finnish at the edges.you dont want a little cut at one end and a big cut at the other.Now adjust to fit...

Dont quite know which tile but itll be 300x300mm and ceramic. Ive tiled walls before,well ive helped tile a wall before and that was using some unibond stuff,didnt take much notice at the time. Im thinking of going for a dark brown tile with black grout and then waterproofing the grout as its...

gradualy dropping down as you go up?

Which product would you use for fixing the tiles,it does need to be a rapid because as soon as i start i just know r lass will want the pot.
