Solid wall preparation for tiling Hi All Looking for advice on prep for rendered and plastered walls.... have taken old tiles off and its taken large chunks of plater and render off the walls. How do you guys go about preparing this for tiling? Do you just patch the holes and then prime and go for it? If so, what do you normally use to patch holes? Or do you prefer to go for a full skim? Or ive even thought about overboarding with 6mm waterproof board!! But thats a lot more time and...

Advice on what is wrong Hi all I paid for a damaged tile to be replaced in a bathroom of my rental property in Aug 23. (The brief was to make the area water tight by replacing and re-sealing where needed.) The work was completed and monies paid. (£300) All was good, or so I thought. Due to issues with communication from the letting agent I discovered in June last year, less than 12 months on, that the new tiling had failed. The contractor said its ‘wear and tear’ and have provided...

Would you be interested in a regular tile industry podcast? There's a podcast by TTA and I think BAL on facebook which was alright. Only short, 2 parter. (Links on the Tilers Talk BB Facebook page to it). And Smithy (who owns the Facebook group) asked them if they had any others coming and BAL said let's ask people and see. So would you listen to either maybe 1 x 1hr per month one, or maybe a 15 minute one each week? I think it'd be nice hear who's behind the products and hear...

Have you ever noticed news socials and large social pages and groups post an image with text, then rather than including a link in the original post, they reply first with the link like this. The reason they do this is so that the algorithm facebook uses for their feeds will reduce the amount of people it reaches naturally if it has a link in the original post. Why? Because facebook doesn't want to let users leave facebook. They would much rather show everybody content with...
