Thank you.

It'll be all water based paints I'll be using.

OK. Thanks very much. A delta sander makes sense then as I can get into all the little corners, etc. with it. As I'm going from a dark grey to a white finish, is there anything I can do to prevent me doing loads of coats?

Hi All, I have a mammoth task of either removing or at the very least keying the surface of all my interior window frames and sills and most likely the staircase too. Is a delta sander or random orbital sander the way to go and what size grit(s) do I need. Any brands better than another on both...

Too soft & thick? If you've got floorboards then surely something soft & thick will absorb any unevenness ?

I was thinking that as I've already got foam underlay down because of the laminate flooring that I just use that instead and treat the LVT as laminate. Sensible?

Hi All, I'm going to be renewing the flooring in our upstairs toilet soon. Currently there's laminate on top of foam underlay on top of floorboards. The area is probably only around 1.5 sq meters. Is it 6mm plywood I need to put down on top of the floor boards? It will be the click type of LVT...

Thanks guys.

Hi All, We're replacing our bath and I was looking at a Crosswater instruction manual where it indicates that you need to place and screw to the wall some metal brackets then tile over them. As we've already got a tiled wall is this going to be an issue? If it is then I need to look at another...

Thanks very much!

Ah...ok. So if it's quite flat then just screwed down. If not then adhesive where it dips right? Do the edges of the board need to be taped or am I going too far?

So I have to use tile adhesive to stick down the backer boards and then screw them down?

Thanks. Do the floorboards all need to be level and secured to the joists first and can you tile straight on top of the hardibacker board or does it need a coating of something. I'm looking for the easiest solution but one that's correct. Also, if it's installed on top of the floorboards...

Hi All, I'm looking to remove our small bathroom tiled floor as there's been a leak from the shower above the bath but also as I plan on putting new tiles, new bath, sink and vanity unit. Currently, under the tiles are floorboards apart from under the actual bath itself which is marine ply. The...

There was no choice...Only thing they had in stock and I though it's only one tile. Even me should be able to fit it within 3 hours! There's no plasterboard on that wall. Literally plaster / cement on brick then tiles as you can see but over the years of this dripping bath panel the hardwall or...

I've ordered a bag of this:- https://www.screwfix.com/p/mapei-wall-floor-rapid-set-flexible-tile-adhesive-grey-20kg/700ag#product_additional_details_container

Here's a pic of the area. You'll see the wall needs a thicker coating!

Hi All, Following a leak from the bath over a very long period of time I've removed a floor and wall tile in the bathroom. The wall tile literally was about to fall off and whatever product was used to stick it to the brickwork disintegrated almost entirely. I'm sorting out the bath leak but...

Thanks very much for the reply. Why can't I use the ready made adhesive? I should add that the floor tile I need to re-do is in an area of the bathroom which won't be walked on. The tile adhesive also needs to stick a wall tile with a similar or even more adhesive thickness!

Thanks again. I don't have a grinder unfortunately. Anything else you can suggest?
