    Should we bother with tanking in bathroom, advice please

    Tank the lot with a membrane- Kerdi or homelux. Paint on Tanking is old hat and it slows the job down a lot.

    Need to raise screed by 15 mm in wet-room

    I agree, something like 12mm Aquapanel glued to the floor, the fun bit will be gluing it to your sloped area. Maybe cut triangular sections to form your sloped area, fill gaps with rapidest flexy.

    Sealing a shower cubicle

    Another thing a lot of people miss is that the tray to tile joint should be sealed before fitting enclosure, not necessarily the whole lot, just where the wall profiles sit. As mentioned, a shower should be sealed right down both wall profiles and bottom profile on the OUTSIDE and I often...

    Tiling on eneven bathroom walls

    If the plaster comes off well then tile straight onto your Sand/cement render, it's a good surface to tile onto but as mentioned, check the weight of your tiles. If the room is half tiled in places, cut the plaster with a stanley Knife. I would steam that old plaster, it'll pop straight off.

    Tiling on plywood - do i need noggins?

    OK, quick question.....you are removing the old 15/16mm floorboard which run under your partition wall and you want to replace with 25mm ply? How is the 25mm ply going to fit under your stud wall and how will you be supporting your stud wall whilst this work goes ahead? Oh yeah, you mention...

    Tiling on plywood - do i need noggins?

    Can't you replace the rotten boards? even if they go under your wall, just replace one at a time to maintain support for your wall. I rip up a lot of floors and stud walls not on joists is commonplace. a few noggins sounds sensible if you go that route but your replacement flooring will...

    Tiling on plywood - do i need noggins?

    For the amount of hassle you are going to be up against, I would lay a vinyl floor such as karndean or Amtico. They are better suited to bathrooms in any case.

    Tiling on plywood - do i need noggins?

    Glue and Screw Aquapanel to your existing floor. Use a rapidset flexy adhesive for gluing, 6mm trowel. Use the Glass fibre tape on joints, apply with more RS flexy. This will give the same rigidity as 18mm ply overlay. Knauf Aquapanel can be bought in Wickes. I have done a lot of...

    Cladding bathroom!

    I'm assuming you are getting paid for doing this work? If you have to ask whether or not you fit the bath, basin and WC before or after then I think this change in career direction is not for you.

    help with rubi speed 62 tile cutter

    Whatever feels comfortable and works correctly with the snapper and glides off the end of the tile correctly, It's trial and error I imagine.

    cork tiles- where to start laying?

    Yes, start in the centre and then have your cuts against walls, either have a cork tile joint as your start point or the centre of a tile, whichever gives you the best cut. if the room is out of square or walls are wavy then decide which wall you want to work from and be parallel with and go...

    Tiling on kitchen (Polystenre and interlocking floorboards)

    Go for a high quality vinyl like Karndean or Amtico. Overboard floor with 6mm ply. Having lived with both vinyl and ceramic/stone tiles in both Kitchens and bathrooms- viny is a better product due to the grout joints in ceramic tiles forever needing cleaning and being recessed and porus...
