Hi, I am currently renovating our house on a very tight budget. We have just removed the wall tiles in our kitchen to find a massive gap between the worktop and plasterboard. I re-skimmed the wall and there is still a gap of a pretty consistent 18mm. Without replacing the worktops, what is the...

Hi all, I’m getting a couple of bathrooms refurbished, and in one of the bathrooms (a bath/shower area), the installers have created a large niche on a party wall. They’ve removed the bricks on my side of the wall, added a lintel (since it’s load-bearing), and our neighbors are fine with the...

I was removing an old towel hook in my bathroom and as I was removing the old raw plugs, the tile cracked and broke - I am now in the dog house with the wife! I have never done tiling before so is this an easy fix for one tile? I’m assuming all id need from b&q is the tile, adhesive & grout...

Obviously the tiles are far above the 150mm damp proof membrane. So does a drain need to be installed between the door and the tiles first? The porch is well covered does this mean the DPM rule doesn’t apply here? What gradient would you recommend? The owners are elderly and one is in a...

Are large format tiles too heavy for plastered plasterboard? I’m planning to install 600 x 1200 x 8 mm tiles in my bathroom. They weigh approx. 15kg per tile. I’ve already used tile backer board on one half of the bathroom after removing some existing tiles, which also removed the underlying...

I’m planning on laying tile backer board on chipboard flooring prior to tiling. Which adhesive is required to lay the backer on to? Would something like this work? https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonse...=0AAAAAD8IdPz9Q0PWDQXuuk1M9yTmHDKI2&gclsrc=ds Maybe a non fast set adhesive as I’m not a pro.

I’m renovating my bathroom and installing tile backer board on several walls where tiles were removed. These walls are in and around the shower. There are two other adjoining walls with moisture resistant plasterboard. Should I remove the plasterboard from these walls as well, or can I leave...

Hi all, I’ve removed an old tiled bathroom splash back and want to put some new tiles on. The plaster is in good condition, do I need to seal it before tiling as it isn’t new? Many thanks

Hi, Could I please get your urgent advice. We are fitting a new kitchen and I have a builder that has laid electric underfloor heating, and then a levelling compound on top, but I have now put them on hold because I am extremely nervous about fitting our expensive porcelain tiles (1m x 1m) and...

We've got a guy currently renovating our bathroom and some of the work is just a bit... amiss? Tiles aren't completely align, he's using a grinder to cut them rather than a tile cutter, he set wood and wallpaper on fire and tried to play it down when our whole house stunk of smoke, he said my...

Hi All. How much would I save if I ripped the bathroom out myself, and would it make the job more desirable for a bathroom fitter? Looking to get a new bathroom fitted and I am looking to get the costs down. I am capable of taking all the tiles down, and flooring. My plan was to sack all...
