tiles to big for tubbed addy, tubbed addy drys by dispersion, need to use a cement addy for that size tile. what about wall weight? 20kg on a plastered wall , 30kg on plasterboard etc, gotta watch those weights and addy, otherwise tiles come off, kids in a bath ,door slams danger. should always back skim that size tile too. i have been to jobs where large tilea and tubbed addy used still not gone off behind tile months later, tubbed fine for small tiles.
Pouse,
As marcus parks says, you should use powdered adhesive - no professional uses tub rubbish. there are other things which you do or dont do that make me wonder why you think that what you are doing is useful to others? eg setting lines then troweling over them?
Hi Mike, thanks for watching the video. I have never suggested I am a professional tiler so apologies if you got the wrong end of the stick. As I told Marcus, I have used this adhesive several times on walls that have lasted for years. There are much better quality tub adhesives which are fully waterproof and can be submerged in swimming pool etc and have been tried and tested by the manufacturers. The tub adhesive I used is a low cost adhesive and is shower proof. If the tiling is done correctly with good grouting, using good quality grout (which is very important), then there is no reason why water would ever get behind the tiles in a domestic shower. Cement based adhesive is excellent but many DIYers will find that more difficult to use on a wall as it does take more practice, however, I have demonstrated it's use in my other video. Sorry you felt it was a poor tutorial and I always welcome all feedback to improve my future videos so thanks for commenting. I'm just trying to help people to have a go as one thing worse than a bad job, is not having a go at all in my opinion. Thanks again for watching.
Labor is too damn expensive for these jobs so people try to DIY various house projects. If the job is done well enough that there’s no leaking, breaking, etc..then he’s got a beautiful new shower and saved thousands of dollars. He’s not claiming to be an expert and it’s not a business he’s running...leave helpful comments or none at all. These know-it-all contractors on home improvement videos always have trash to talk but never help...way too bitter about keeping their practices secret and think us “common people” are idiots who can’t put up wall tile🙄please..We all learn and start somewhere..give me a break.
Thanks for your kind words and feedback. Best of luck and thanks for watching.
Completely underrated comment!
....and you’re not guaranteed eith a professional job, or that they’ll even turn-up!
When I read comments saying "WTF? Get on with it and do some 'tiling'!!! ".. Why? He's explaining it really well and going through the stages in detail. That's the whole point, its a tutorial on the whole process not just "stick it on the wall and see what happened". - Great video, keep up the good work! (new sub)
Thanks for the comments Tom and thanks for watching!
Yes he is and did a good job explaining 💪🏼
Agreed 👏👏👏👏
Amen 🙏
you want some feedback here we go .you used wrong adhesive .tiles did not meet up .they should be level all the way around .shower should have been tanked first to seal it .mepei is a good adhesive but would use a standard set with a heavy tile .always put bottom wall tile on after floor is finished .far better job .no big dirty grout line when finished .just a bit of advice .as for your tiling itself its pretty good
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to watch my video. Just to reassure you, the tiles do line up, but due to the lens of the camera, it can sometimes 'curve' the image. For example, if you look at the bars on my towel rail, they appear bent at certain angles, when in fact they are perfectly straight. As for tanking the shower, whilst that idea is perfectly feasible, it is also unnecessary for a domestic shower. The shower quadrant already has a plastic (fully waterproof) base which has been well sealed around the edges, then tiled down to. The tiles will only ever receive a 'light spray' as the predominant flow of water is onto the glass and shower tray. If you were doing a wet room, it may be worth while. The tile adhesive is a budget showerproof mapei adhesive. I would always advise people to use the best they can afford, however I have used this before with ceramic tiles, it has excellent grab, excellent adhesion and I have never had a problem with it. The tiles really aren't that heavy, (but do appear heavy) but as you say with heavy tiles I would use the rapid set adhesive I used on the floor (in my other video). Really appreciate your feedback and thanks again for watching.
You should have used thinset mortar not the premix on a shower.That shit goin fall off the wall 2 or 3 years from now lol
Hi Marcus, having used this adhesive several time before, this adhesive is ok if applied correctly and with good grouting to seal the joints. Unfortunately, loose tiles is all too often due to poor tiling and grouting which allows water to seep behind the tiles. Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching my video.
the adhesive is not ok if applied correctly! its the wrong adhesive... like saying i had several pints and a few rums and drove home from the pub without a problem.... contact Mapei, same as people saying the have used PVA to seal the walls first before tiling... and never had a problem. Just don't, its wrong... don't forget unless you use epoxy grout water will get.
Thanks for your feedback David and thanks for watching.
This is probably the most comprehensive and detailed tile tutorial I have ever seen! Thank you very much for your time 👍
You're very welcome!
Nice beginner's guide, mate. I'm about to re-tile my bathroom and you've highlighted some things I hadn't considered 👍 Ignore all the pedantic naysayers, this is a beginner's guide, not a pro's showcase.
3mm spacers!! 2mm all day long
I agree but this was a good few years back. Fashion changes! Thanks for watching.
Nice video man very detailed...almost too detailed....lol but dont change what your doing that was awesome
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
This has given me a lot more confidence in modernising a property, Thanks
Best of luck with it.
DIY advice makes much more sense with a Newport accent. Nice one Pouse - getting some good advice for my bathroom renovation. Cheers clart.
It only makes more sense if you understand the language. Happy tiling!
It do don't it mind lol
Maybe it is something new
I have looked at a lot of videos and done a little tiling
Is this a new tile and grout you are using ? I did not think either were water proof
I think you did a good job of explaining how you tile but the poor quality in behind the tile is bad
One where is the moisture barrier between the wall board and the tile What keeps water from seeping thru the nail/screw holes on the wall
At 7.26 of the video there is a huge hole in the wall waht keeps water out of there
At 21.37 to 21.42 of the video you can see the paper torn away from the wall
In a shorttime water is going to seep into the wall just above the tub and start rotting
Second I was always taught that you set wall tile down on your floor tile rather than down below the floor
Hi, the tile adhesive I'm using is 'showerproof' so fine for light use and showers. However if you watch my other video 'how to tile a bathroom floor' you will see I use a tile cement which requires mixing. This is a better quality cement and is fully water proof. It can also be used on the walls but wasn't necessary in this scenario. If it was a wet room I would have used it on the walls as well. As I'm using a shower tray the majority of the water is collected on the shower tray and the water spray from a shower is directed away from the tiles onto the shower screen when showering. As for moisture barrier, the tiles are waterproof and so is the grout, so if done properly water should never get behind the tiles. The wall behind is plastered with multifinish plaster and the 'paper' you thought you saw in the video is paint. I only painted part of the wall. The whole wall is plastered. So the set up is fine. But I take your point, if it was a commercial shower with high usage, I would use the self mix cement all over and use an appropriate moisture barrier but that is overkill for small domestic light use bathrooms. It's also my bathroom so I'm happy with it. Hope that helps. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the response
After doing some more looking I found that hardibacker no longer needs a membrane or a cover other thna the seams
I still do not think you can just use a mortor type mix over what looks like sheetrock on the walls , esp where the paper is pulled off of it
The mortor is only moisture resistent not water proof to my understanding
Just looks like you have missed doing quality under the tile and mortro not the tile and mortor itself
Hi again, the wall is brick, with a layer of cement render, then a layer of plaster. The back wall (behind the shower) is plasterboard that has been plastered and painted. It's perfectly adequate for the use it will get but if you want to be sure use aquaboard or hardibacker behind your tiles, then you'll be worry free! Good luck with it.
trippleslots mapei ultracolour grout is fully waterproof, as are the ceramic tiles hes using....the plaster render can have a rubber waterproof membrane rollered on, but as pouse says, that is overkil....waterproof tiles, waterproof grout and good silicone sealant keep any water area waterproof....

good vids mate! are you welsh? haha. a lot of youtubers drag shit out but you just get to the fukin point haha
Hi Rupert, thanks for the feedback. I try to get to the point as viewers are here to learn DIY, not listen to me chat s**t! I go on enough as it is! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Gosh its alot more complicated than I thought I only have a small area I want to do around my bath to put a shower in. I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try doing it myself but I will still look into it. Thank you for the vlog it turned out really nice and looks modern ☺
As long as you do you research, get a good products and the right tools you'll be fine. With tiling from a tub you can always clean the adhesive and stop tiling if you get stuck. Go back to it when you want to carry on. Best of luck with it.
didn't know Adam lallana did tiling videos!! Haha. top video. cheers mate
Hi Marc, can't say I've ever been called that before, that's a new one! I'll take it as a compliment, I'm usually called a lot worse!! Glad you enjoyed the vid, hope it helped you out and thanks for watching!
Great work. thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for watching!
Does the adhesive have to be flexible??
And also is flexible grout needed??
Flexible is just a better quality and more durable in variable temperatures etc. Always check with tile shop as products move on so quickly there's always something better appearing on the market.
You make a very good instructor thanks for the video
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Thank you from Aegina island Greece
Love your vids man, you go through them step by step and cover loads. Appreciate the time you take to explain the job.
Really glad you enjoy the vids and thanks for the feedback. Cheers mate.
Thank you so much. I was really anxious about tiling, yet I did it :)
Not quite up to your standard, good first try. Thanks for explaining all the little bits great video
Glad it helped!
The practicality of your videos really good I'm learning I have my own channel I just subscribe to yours and giving you a thumbs-up I may have some videos that you may be interested in as well all right keep up the good work hope to hear from you
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching. Best of luck with your channel.
Hi bud,,just wondering do I grout the corners or do I put sealant down the corners,,,other than that,great video 👍
I didn't use sealant on mine, but....over time the corners do tend to crack. So you can either grout and then regrout when they do, or grout and sealant over the top, or sealant into the gaps but the final method I find hard to remove if your sealant goes mouldly in a few years. So best option is to grout and sealant over it really. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Great video mate, just starting my bathroom project..... was thinking of using a tile leveling kit? Have you used them before? And if you have could you suggest a decent one! Cheers mate!
Hi Dougie, thanks for the feedback. I haven't used one sorry, but if you do please let me know how you get on. Good luck with it and thanks for watching!
Great vid! Out of interest, what are the dimensions of those tiles? They look a similar size to the ones I want to use, but I've read that it's best to use a non-premixed adhesive for larger tiles?
I'm really enjoying these videos so far. First house in within the week and the whole house needs doing. The bathroom is one of the only places I'll be having a serious crack at myself! Watching plenty of videos like this :).
Glad you're enjoying the videos. Feel free to check out all the vids on my channel, plenty of stuff to help you out and plenty more to come. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thanks for this mate. Your bathroom looks great.
Thanks for the kind words.
Very informative - I'm just about to shower a newly created shower enclosure in my bathroom - great tips!!! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Just watched your video mate... a nice relaxed presentation style and some great practical tips too. I have to take my hat off to anyone who is brave enough to put something like this out there as there are so many people too willing to criticise and nitpick. Well done mate... you have raised my confidence to do a similar job in my house.
Thanks for he kind comments, glad you enjoyed it. Internet trolls are part of the fun of being on here, I enjoy the occasional bit of abuse! Good luck with the tiling, let me know how you get on. Thanks for watching!
I'm seeing so much being done and not done here that makes me scream "No!" that I understand how so much bad work DIY gets done in homes today. Including by the tradesmen Barratts employed to finish the one I bought from them.
I'm about to re tile my ensuite. Never tiled before but this helps loads! Thank you.
Good luck!
How did it go?
I will be doing my tiling today, will upload the video on my channel, first time for me, wish me luck lol.
Great news, go for it! good luck and thanks for watching.
Covered everything in detail with some nice tips along the way. Excellent job mate 👍
Thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your project!
Good job pal, just tiled my shower, by the looks ive pretty much nailed it.
Nice work, well done!
I love watching your vids, Pouse. But I also like looking through the comments and seeing the "experts" try, and fail, to get under your skin. They obviously don't realise us Valleys boys have impermeable skin.
It's good entertainment!
Great work, thanks for sharing
No problem, thanks for watching!
Did you tank the plasterboard?
No, I didn't but that is a good option if you want to be extra sure it's waterproof. The other option is to use hardiebacker type board which is waterproof and designed to be tiled on. Hope that helps.
Good guide mate I might give this a go looks fairly straight forward.
I like how all these tiling experts are watching a video on how to to tile! jokers..
Thanks for the feedback, give it a go. There's only one thing worse than a bad job, and that's not doing a job at all! I agree about the jokers but it keeps me entertained. Thanks for watching.
You are an absolute BEAST...! Brilliant work mate. Very nice
Your the best, You already taught me how to plaster now you have prepped me for my bathroom tile job.
Turned it off the second I saw him using tub adhesive 🙈
Maybe try the 'how to tile a floor video'? Thanks for watching....the first few seconds!
Boss the fact that he uses crap tools as well shows you don’t need expensive tops
hi, i did my own bathroom wall with large tiles, all seems good but i think i used too little adhesive. the finish is flush and level and seems really solid. But i have noticed when i knock on a few their seems to be hollows behind, this must be from where the wall was not as flat as the tile. do i need to drill holes and apply a fix kit or will they be ok?
Hi there, where the walls are uneven it is ok to have a few hollow sounding areas as long as the tile has bonded well to the wall. Without seeing it, it's hard to comment but if it's all finished now you could just give it a go and see if it holds. Alternatively, you could try to remove the individual tiles that sound hollow and back them with more adhesive and push them back into place. It's up to you really. Hope that helps. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Mostly ok, but a major error would be grouting down to the shower tray. The tray will move in use and the grout will crack. One would deliberately leave a gap to apply silicone between the tile and tray, ensuring a good seal. Please don’t be discouraged by any negative comments, many people will find your video very helpful. Also, many people call a basin a sink.
Thanks for the feedback Ken and thanks for watching.
at 26.40 leave that gap for a good bead of sealant
watch the video and listen, prior to 26.40 he says, for the grout, then you can add silicon / sealer over the top of it, no you never use grout between bottom of bottom row and top of shower tray at all. Few mistakes a pro tiler will notice, but to anyone wanting to tile somewhere in their own home, this is a decent video.
Great video , give me confidence to give it a go 👍
Why did you not install a waterproof tanking behind the tiles?Also a laser level would be a good investment for anyone tiling a bathroom, you can get one for under £50 on AmazonThanks for your effort
No water proofer as I plastered it and used good quality grout. As it's my own house, not too worried, but if in doubt waterproof. Lazer level too expensive. I'm old school I guess!
Thanks for your reply, I did the same years ago in my own house, bought a top brand "waterproof grout". It was OK for some years but over time water penetrated through the grout joints into the wall behind resulting in damp patches in the other rooms. I had to redo the job. The only grout that will stop water penetration is epoxy grout but that's expensive and tricky to apply. I really think it's best to tank behind tiles unless your using epoxy grout or waterproof shower boarding behind. Dampness from showers is the biggest problem in domestic housing.Cheers!
Why would you need a laser for this tiling job. What are dumb stupid comment
POUSE around the HOUSE well good quality grout isnt water proof walls
Brilliant video thank you👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
You didn’t fool me with the slight of hand at the start there Pousey i.e. i spotted that the ‘bucket and water was actually the sponge....again. I realise you’re only checking whether we are paying attention and I want you to know that I am!
By the way, plaster on the walls delights in the presence of water. To determine this, throw some water at a plastered wall and watch what happens.
Enjoying your videos and keep up the good work buddy. Still waiting to see your finished loft conversion!
The tiles are still going strong years later so can't be too bad!
Just starting my bathroom upgrade and of the many tiling videos I have watched your's is the best, things have moved on a bit in six years to make the job easier with tile levelling kits and laser levels but the details you show are the most important parts that others seem to miss. I shall now watch your other videos.
Sorry for late reply. I agree, tools, products have moved on massively but hopefully I explained the basic principles of setting out which will never change. Best of luck 👍
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE All complete now and very pleased with the results your video was a big help.
Thank fook for screw fix!!
Indeed! Thanks for watching.
Always helpful and detailed advice. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback Paul, glad to have helped and thanks for watching!
good work mate,
the loud music in background when you are talking is unpleasant. could not hear you clearly. great detail.
Hi Nash, thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the video but really sorry about the music and unclear words. I don't usually have music on when filming so a bit of an oversight on my part, sorry! Good luck and thanks for watching!
This is a truly fantastic video mate. You explain it so clearly in laymens terms, use products and tools that are familiar easily available, and the process is very thorough. No mystery left, time to climb in and get tiling!
Hi Paul, really appreciate the comments and glad you enjoyed the vid. I have another vid of how to tile a floor - th-cam.com/video/y75e479ups0/w-d-xo.html. I use cement in this video which can also be used on walls if using large tiles. Hope that helps. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Great vid! BTW hat does pouse mean? 😂
It just means me! Thanks for watching.
good tile set, great eye for detail. In an ideal situation if u would of replaced your backerboard (I think I seen rot in the bottom corner) and applied a little waterproofing to the corners and bottoms you could of greatly decreased the water penetration that will go through your grout. Grout will let water get to the thinset and thinset will allow moisture through cause its never 100% evenly applied, and once water hits your backerboard it will suck all the way up the walls and cause major rot. But I don't want to be too hard on ya cause really it looks great. I hope everything else went perfect for ya.
Thanks for the feedback Brad and thanks for watching!
what SHIT you never waterproof the walls ever BAD WORK
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!
Great video! You covered everything I could and didn't think of. Extremely easy to understand tips that will make my project much easier and ensure a great result. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback and best of luck with your project.
Thanks for the vid. Good refresher for me as i haven't tiled in a while and about to do my wetroom.
I did borrow a laser level and think they're fantastic.
I spent a bit of money tanking and fully waterproofing the shower area so i dont want to drill holes for a straight edge. Think i will put floor tiles down first then plan the wall tiles so i can do the first level cuts first, get them flat on top and let them go off overnight so i can use them as a straight edge the next day. Make sure i protect the flooring.
Hreat tips tho. Good vid 👍
Sounds like you'l be doing a better job than I did. If I did it again I would use a modern waterproofing system, maybe hardibacker board or elements board. Better job in the long run but my shower was only for light use. Best of luck and thank for watching!
Quality job! Love the corner bog!
Thanks for the feedback, you can see how to fit the toilet here - th-cam.com/video/85Re9VgHFU0/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for watching!
Great job. I'm watching and learning from your videos as I start my maintenance apprenticeship on Monday.
Hi Carl, that's great news. Please feel to share any new tips you learn. We are are all learning more every day! Thanks for watching and good luck with the apprenticeship.
I've got to say this is pretty good technique for a DIY approach! Well done - very helpful!
Thanks frostie, glad you enjoyed the vid. Thanks for watching!
just found your channel your really good like all i have seen lots of good tips thank you!;-)
Hi Ervin, thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoy the videos. Please subscribe for regular tutorials and tool reviews/demos. Thanks for watching!
Is it possible to only grout the vertical lines in the wall to get a more seamless finish? I have some slate effect tiles. Or do you need room for expansion? Great videos by the way
You need to grout all gaps between tiles especially in a wet area or water will leak through. You could try finding a larger tile to suit your needs. Thanks for watching.
Nice job. Do you need to put anything on the wall for water proofing first? How do you dispose of the cement?
In my example it was downstairs, most of the wall was masonry with a screed floor so I didn't water proof. However best practice these days is to use a tile a backer board which can be dot and dabbed or screwed to a stud timber wall, tape and seal the joints with the appropriate product then tile onto that and it'll be a nice job, especially in a first floor bathroom with timber floor. Any surplus tile cement / adhesive can be scraped back into an empty cement bag and go in the building waste skip at your local civic amenity site. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
This is an awesome video! Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
should you pva/water solution on plaster before tileing?
Hi, yes it's a good idea to do that. On a fresh emulsion paint I find it's ok without but always best to PVA. If tiling straight onto fresh plasterboard there is no need for PVA. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your great explanation. I'm newby and it's helped me a lot to do my bathroom .
No problem, thanks for watching.
That was a really useful video with some greats points made. Very grateful for the effort - thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
When measuring the width and height before tiling do you factor in extra measurement for the spacers?
Yes, so you need to know what size spacers you want. It's a good idea to mark the wall with a pencil first to get an idea. Best of luck!
i put a wooden plywood as false wall then plastered it... can i tile over it or will it fall off
Hi there, yes you can tile onto plaster, but you can't plaster direct onto plywood as wood absorbs moisture rapidly from plaster, it will usually crack and come away. If you tile over this then the plaster may come away which would cause the tiles to come away. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
big cracks in corners no water seal that shower will leak in no time floor should have been dune first
yeah, we are going to listen to you when you cant spell the word... done, penis.
It’s not necessary to do the flooring first. You just need to start the tiles a tile length up the wall. It’s a fairly easy task.
Four years on and the shower's fine! Thanks for watching.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE well done!!
Does anyone have a link for those picks from the pound shop? I want to order some.
Here you go - amzn.to/2N7OZfo. All links to tools used are in the description section below the video. Hope that helps!
cause its painted is the tile adhesive strength only as good as the paints bond to the plaster?
To a point yes, if the surface below id no good, then it will be the weak spot for the tiles. Ensure the wall is prepped and nice and solid before adding tile adhesive. Even better you can use tile backer board and tile onto that, but this is more work obviously. Best of luck.
thanks buddy i enjoyed your video, why did you choose to lay the small tiled sections in different directions. my ocd would not allow this to remain.
Hi there, I wanted the vertical sections running centrally up both walls in my shower cubicle, it looks fine I promise! Thanks for watching!
Im just starting to tile out my shower...I dont like the metal strip edge on a corner...It looks like a bodge . I wanted the chap
doing it ti use rounded edge tiles instead. Also I wanted him to use silicon instead of grout....He said thats all old school, and said not worth the time and trouble..people are not that fussy these days...Well I am...I sent him packing.
Should i try another tiler, or will they all have that method or DIY it myself to MY standards..Im not a tiler, but I know what I want.
I'm not a tiler either, just DIY but I have also used metal edge strip as seen in the video. You can by round, square, metal or plastic. Of course you can tile it however you want and as the customer you should be able to discuss this with your fitter. Not all tiles will have round edging bits too match so you need to make sure you have the right tiles before starting work. As for sealant, usually you use sealant where tiles join with floor, bath, shower etc and in corners. Hope tgat helps. Best of luck!
The problem is round edge tiles are quite rare nowadays so you're limiting the range of tiles you can use
Hi i am thinking of taking tilling up as a trade im just gone 21 and im wondering is it a good way to make a living?
Wrong place to be asking here buddy but what I would say to you is that there is a shortage of skilled labour in the UK and that of course pushes the price up. You could probably do an awful lot worse. Ever considered plumbing? Plumbers are always needed and in short supply and cost a bloody fortune.
Whatever you choose, good luck to you!
Great video, thank you! Just getting ready to start my first DIY tiling job and this was a great source of information.
Thanks for the feedback and good luck with the tiling Mike. Thanks for watching!
Laser makes it much easier. No tanking kit? no levelling system ?
This installation is mostly against a masonry wall on the ground floor with screeded floor. It's also an older video, but in fairness I use the modern insulated backer boards now. I still haven't got around to buying a laser level but I have borrowed them and they real are tool not to be without. Just to note, this is just DIY, not my day job. Thanks for watching!
How much money you reckon you save doing this yourself? After buying all the tools etc?
Difficult to know as you will get several different quotes if you shop around, but cheap isn't always a good thing! If you have a job already and can take up a lot of your time, but something to be proud of at the end. If you don't have time but have the money, pay a good tiler and put your feet up! Thanks for watching.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE was about to ask how long u took to get the entire project completed
Quite a lot of money £££ because the labour is expensive!!
Thanks mate looks good. I'm calling Newport accent, or at least Gwent, haha.
Gwent opens it up a bit! Thanks for watching.
How is your bathroom holding up? It’s been about 3 years?
It's all working well. It's actually 5 years since I fitted it.
You have one of the better channels on explaining thank you for sharing
Thanks for the kind words, glad to help. Thanks for watching!
Great lesson on tiling! I'm doing my first tiling so thanks👍
Best of luck.
Lovley thanks
Most welcome
Brilliant video thank you. If you was doing a bath to seal it. Do you fill the bath then seal. Thanks
Yes, it is advised to fill the bath with water first. Thanks for watching!
