When tiling a wall AND the floor, how close to the floor should I get the wall tile?
Should the wall tile touch the floor? OR Should I leave enough space for the floor tile to go under the wall tile? OR Should they meet at each edge of the tiles? I dont' know the best way to do this? I'm tiling up the wall about 3.5 ft and laying a new tile floor.

Question answered by Savannah Guy
Generally the floor tile goes under the wall tile. I would put the floor tile down first, then start the first course of wall tile with a special tile with a curve on the bottom, sort of a reverse bullnose, used for just this situation. However you choose to do it, even just butting the wall tile to the floor, the gap will be less noticeable if the floor tile goes under the wall tile. You might consider caulking this gap instead of grouting it to prevent cracking as the floor flexes as well. Good luck.When tiling a wall AND the floor, how close to the floor should I get the wall tile?

It is better to have wall tiles cover the cuts on the floor tile. Set the floor first and then the walls. Keep the wall tile to floor gap the same size as your grout joints. Caulk that joint, do NOT grout it because it will break up over time. An alternative I use is to set ledgers on the wall all around the room one tile up and set the wall tile first. Then I do the floor and go back and do the last row of wall tile last. This way you are working off a level ledger instead of a questionable floor.How can I get started in tiling with no experience?
I am fascinated with tiling, but don't know how I can latch on as an apprentice to anyone. I have a full time desk job, so people would scoff at me wanting to do something like this in the mornings.

Can anyone comment on what plastic edge trim I should use when tiling over existing tile that already has a plastic edge trim? Is there any specialty trim that would cover the existing trim and the edge of the new tile (being laid over the old tile)? Thanks, PJ.

Question answered by Moe A
I have never heard of anybody tiling over existing tile. That is just plain wrong. When the old mortar wears off, both layers will pop loose. Unless there is damn good reason why you are doing it like that, I suggest you go do it right. Remove the tiles, replace the subfloor and retile again. I don't know what else to advise you!Any tips for tiling a bathroom that I should know about?
I plan on tiling a bathroom soon so are there any useful tips out there to help it go smoother? Also what should I do when re installing the toilet? What needs to be done with the tile going along the side of the bathtub as far as grout or sealing it?

Proper prep is your biggest job. W/O that don t bother.. I need specifics as to what your doing, but generally you need to put a cement board backer up against the studs w/ a vapor barrier 1st. The use of thin set is the proper way to go. Mastics are not made for wet areas. They will dissolve over time.. Trim tile is available in most all tile but make sure you pick out a tile that has one. The use of spacers can help but this all depends on the tile body type and size of the tile. You DO NOT EVER leave the spacers in. Some tile do not require spacers at all and are self stacking. 1 st post knows very little. Sorry Fire but you don t.. I run my trim tile along the edges down to the floor.. The stool you need to replace the wax ring or sometimes rings. The use of a longer bolt (3") is sometimes needed since when you put a thin setted down 1/2" cement board down, it raises the flooring up.. You don t need cement board if your going over concrete though.. Any more specific questions you can e mail me thru my avatar and check my qualifications there.How to prepare a painted bathroom wall for tiling?
I am going to tile a wall which is currently just painted. The paint is flaking and there are some minor surface cracks. How should I best prepare the surface for tiling? I have been told that I should sand and clean the surface and then use interior stain blocker before tiling. Is this correct?

Question answered by Gary C
Tile does not adhere well to paint. You can scrape or sand or strip off the paint, but then you need to deal with whatever is under the paint (wood? sheet rock? plaster? bricks? cinder blocks?). You may need to install hardboard (also called Hardibacker) on the walls as a base for the tile.How much should you pay per square mtr for tiling in Queensland Regional Area?

My basement bathroom is pretty much unfinshed. The shower surround is the bare foundation and the vinyl tiles are just glued to the cement floor. Since its already cement, should I bother installing cement board prior to tiling? Thanks!

Question answered by scobranchi
I'm with Clyde on this one. There is no need to put backer board on top of cement. However, you will want to remove the vinyl tiles if you're going to tile the floor as well. I also agree that you want to waterproof your walls before you do the tile. I've heard good things about the Kerdi system Clyde recommended but another option is a roll or spray-on one like RedGard. You can get it at Home Depot. Unfortunatley, it's about $40 a gallon and it only covers about 40 sq. ft. per gallon. You'll need about 2-3 gallons to do a standard shower (2 coats) which will waterproof it. There are other brands available from most tile shops but they're about the same price. Let me back-up for a minute. Do you already have a base and drain in the shower and are just adding tile to an existing one? Just be careful abou the draininge and waterproofing. You're in better shape than most since it sounds like it's essentially concrete but if you want to see what it looks like after only a couple of years when it's done wrong, take a look here: http://tileyourworld.com/articles/applegate_shower.htm I'll also give you a couple of links below, most are places I bookmarked as my wife and I were installing a shower. You can follow them back to some good source information and discussion if you're interested .

Supply and fit all materials, approx 18 metres of tiling, and rip out and replace a whole shower unit? Any rough estimates? UK Just the labour cost approx - how much roughly would you expect, forget all the tiles and what type etc, adhesive etc just labour. How much would you charge?

Question answered by Ross
This is rather like asking, "How long is a piece of string?" Tiles and bathroom fittings vary enormously in price. You can, however, find both at very reasonable prices, especially if you wait until the DIY shops have their sales. It is the labour that will push up the cost. I've just had a small shower room built and tiled. The builder charged £200 a day for his first class labour. Ask for several estimates and try to speak to a satisfied customer.Related products and services
