Hi guys. I will tile my bathroom next week and i do not like using trims for external corners. I have a wet saw that can be tipped 45 degrees and i would like to cut the tiles for external corner 45 degrees. Once the tiles join up, there will be very sharp external edges and therefore i would...

Thank you very much.

Charnwood, btw is it possible to dismantle that fitting on the mdpe side before inserting the mdpe pipe in? The reason i am asking that is because, as the blue pipe is sticking out of the floor and i'll have to cut it quite short, i won't have enough pipe length to hold the the mdpe pipe tight...

Thanks for your replies guys. Charnwood, that,s exactly what i was looking for. Thank you.

Hi guys. A friend is renovating his kitchen and the blue pipe entering the property straight into the kitchen gets in the way. The blue pipe at the mo is right under the sink and 200mm off the floor, then a compression stop cock is connected right onto the blue pipe and then the distribution...

Thank you for your time iwaters.

Thanks for your time guys.

Hi tpt and thanks for answering. It is not for cutting 60mm that i am worried about but rather for looks. How would it look a whole tile and a 60mm cut esthetic wise? For that reason, would my 1st option be a better one? Ta.

Hi guys. I have read the post regarding how to lay out tiles in this forum and found it very informative however i have bumped into a snag. I have to re-tile my bathroom and there is a perpendicular wall that is only 260mm wide ( it acts as the opening to access the toilet). I know that i should...

Hi iwaters and thanks for answering. I know that the ideal situation would be to strip everything down to the joists but time wise it would take me far too long and i do not have much time at my disposal unfortunatelly and that's why i was asking if i could get a flat surface to work on by...

hi lancenotalot and sorry for the late reply. Actually the existing floor tiles have been laid on quarry tiles. Would it be easy to lift the existing tiles up, keep the quarry tiles as a good solid base and put new tiles down? How doable is it to get rid of the existing tiles and adhesive in...

Hi guys. The property in question is a first floor maisonette.The existing bathroom floor tiles have been laid on what seems to be 25mm plywood on suspended floor and this friend of mine wants to do up her bathroom and change the floor tiles. 1) If i lay new floor tiles on existing tiles, would...

Hi guys and thanks for your time. No backboards and I was not going to tank the Walls either. I have been told that since it is not a wet room and only just a bathtub I can get away with it. But I am priming the walls with acrylic primer.

Hi guys and thanks for answering. My intention is to leave the tiles ungrouted for 4 days so that i give the adhesive time to go off and then i grout and leave it for another couple of days. Is it reasonable enough? BTW on Mapei Keraflex Maxi it is mentioned 2 weeks curing time on other Mapei...

Hi guys and thanks for the advice. Tim00, what do you mean by FFL? I know of Ardex slc which can go up to a depth of 35mm and I can tile after only 24hours but it is expansive, that's why I wanted to go the sand and cement way provided it would not take too long to dry as I do not have much time...
