Thank you, that looks better than the strange plastic beak-shaped thing he used before.

Thanks everyone, that's pretty much what we thought. Just thought it would be far quicker as my husband has always done the corners himself before and it has taken eons.

I would really appreciate opinions on the (Artex) pre-mitred coving corners. Many thanks.

Thanks Nester for all your hard work in writing that out! It's really helpful. And thanks Diyisfun for pointing out that I've not made myself clear. We have to tile the whole room, floor to ceiling. Normally we would do a baton all the way round the tiled area, to ensure that the tiles...

Hello We are about to tile our whole bathroom, floor to ceiling. Is there a particular trick for making sure the tiles all meet in the corners when we get to them? We are having nightmares about it as two of the corners don't meet until above the door and window (IYSWIM) and it would be...

First post, so please be gentle! We have just bought a house, built in the 40s. The floors are all concrete. On the back is a 'sun room', built about 35 years ago. It also has a concrete floor and we can see that it's built on a concrete slab. We would like to replace this sun room...
