@woodywoods12345 The bath should be securely fitted, if so there will be only minor movement also stand in the bath whilst tiling. Not easy tiling round a bath when its full of water, mind I’m sure you’ve finished your by now.
@nicko198718 i was thinking all those things watching it too. Lol the way he way useing the trowel right at first there i liked to died laughing
@woodywoods12345 But wouldn’t it just create an equal problem when you empty it by moving up? How did you get on with your bathroom as I’m considering doing mine too?
thank you
U guys should have used a bigger level + you just get some t shape spacers you guys arn’t even tarvering the tiles meaning pushing up and down to get proper coveridge also if u don’t no how to tile use a straght edge to check the tile face is straght instead of using u finger as newbies won’t be able to tell the first time u guys are messy you clean as you tile or dont leave blobs everywhere it’l save you so much time. u wash twice last wash use a cap of metho and hot water msg me as im a tiler
nar am just going to watch how to create the perfect cup of coffee and get sum1 else in to do it haha
use a small, bristled dish brush to clean adhesive out of the joints prior to grouting. do this after u finish tiling each wall, easier on u, and neater.
Your video is wonderful also it has a lot of good sense of humour thank u very much
Why didnt you fill the bath with water first? i thought that the bath expands/moves downwards when the bath is full, hence why you should tile whilst the bath is full, otherwise it leaves a gap? im about to start on my bathroom now, wish me luck! *gulp*
excelent thats what i need. my bathroom looks horrible….. thanks for the help.
Nice voice, Dave.
Just a thought too… if you are doing loads of tiling, with lots of boxes of tiles of the same colour, mix n match from all the various boxes, don’t just use one box at a time, as some boxes can be a shade different than others
@officerjo75 you can’t “clean” it other than to keep it clean and applying it once and right the first time. my dad is doing this… it’s taking him 3 day and he’s only got 2 tiles up ’cause he “saw” someone do it 20 years ago, while i’m on youtube trying to learn before i waste 3 days… sigh……
@kinstar i just learned how to tile a bathroom. the bottom of tile onto the wall needs THIN-SET MORTAR. there’s Gray or White at Home Depot. I think it’s called VERSABOND for $14 or $16, respectively. once it’s dried 24 hours later, apply the GROUT, and there are MANY colors of your choice. This video has white grout.
this video is useful but would suggest that if you have never tiled before you also watch part one – How to tile a bathroom wall- tools and preparation
the short pants dude look like harry potter.
@kinstar YES!, always consult a recommended tiler.. Or a local specialist tile ware house..if unsure.
The adhesive is of utmost importance, adhesives vary from different tile types and areas. Grout should be only be used after tiling has been left to dry (24hrs) reccomended adhesives are the BAL adhesives and grouts.
is the stuff you use for grouting different to the stuff you use to stick the tiles to the walls ?. just want to make sure
How do you “clean the mortar out” of the tiles before applying grout?? Good video, however, I wish there was just a little more detail in positioning of tile and measurements.
Nice video thanks mate I watched this and it gave me the confidence to do my bathroom.!!
BIG tiles rule..!! I always like to use tiles with a lighter base rather than those dark tan colour ones as sometimes, tiles are not very well glazed and after grouting, you can still see the dark tan around the edge..!! Dont cut corners with tiles, Its a pain to correct later. Its not a fast job. Take your time. You’ll be sat in the bath for years to come wishing you you had taken more time and not just slapped them up..!!
@imjustpassinthru , Ceramic only…if you’re cutting natural stone, you need a tile saw. You can get a pretty decent one for $150 or so, or rent for $50-$60 a day.
Is it possible to cut marble tile with one of those manual cutters like he’s using in the video or are those manual cutters for ceramic tile only?
@chrismcmahon333 I can help you. Its easy
are you kiddin me? you cut all the spacers? just stick them in sideways… easier to get them out too and putting the adhesive on the back of the tile is called back buttering
