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...

Hi. We are in the process of having our bathroom refitted. The plumber seems to be taking a long time, he was running behind so the painter came in and painted the walls before tiling started. It is a wipeable paint so the painter couldn’t see it being a problem. I've come home today to the...

I'm about to create a new patio outside my new sliding doors (8m x 3m). There is about 30cm to the ground floor. To avoid a DPC bridging issue I was considering keeping the void and using paving pedestals instead for 20mm porcelain tiles Have you used them? Are they any good or a terrible idea?

HI guys - recently installed a new shower with 2 tiled walls over tanked hardiebacker stud walls. Getting a bit of trouble with water egress to both corners, I've reapplied the sealant around the tray and fairly confident it's not that. I've noticed the grout lines between the tiles go very...
