[@bongsound]

Great video, thanks mate

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Anytime 👍

[@staffy9993]

Firstly thank you for such great content…… you have saved me thousands in tradesmen and given us lots of confidence with your step by step guides. Please can you offer advice on tiling from a bath…… do you sit the tiles on the bath or leave a tile spacers gap between your first tile and the bath for movement? Would you bead some silicone under this before your finished bead between the tiles and the bath? Thanks again

[@cprog]

Thank you for your informative video!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mikewilkins9484]

Very timely. I’ve just had to remove some tiles and need to know how to replace

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad I could help

Thanks, will do!

Fantastic job love the videos.

Glad you like them!

[@DjGiluk]

Great tips, thanks 👍🏻

[@Kermit_Von_Henderson]

Great video, the bit im still unsure on is whether yo leave a gap between the tile and trim and grout that line too or butt the tiles tight against the trim and do nothing?

[@tonywilliams1749]

excellent videos fella, love your channel, i have noticed a slight mishap with your jackoboard installation though. jackoboard recommend that you fill in your wall fixings with tile adhesive prior to tiling

[@tristanhunt2758]

Great video. Do you need to use a specific tile adhesive for shower areas?

[@samf1500]

What’s your trade? All your work looks quality! Keep up the great videos 👍

[@exsoldier2012]

Hi what spacer did use under first tile to make sure is level

[@TwistedTiara]

I used a piping bag to grout my tiles, quick, cleaner and looks just as good, just a little tip for you.

[@romiegumayagay8899]

great tip mate

[@jamesgibbs5461]

I love all your videos mate, I always learn something from them. If you was tiling biggish square tiles on the walls would you use the levelling clips you used on the tiling bathroom floor video? Keep up the good work.👍

[@arifn6179]

Hi, great tips. When mixing the grout instead of using bottled water, would it be better to use water boiled from kettle?

[@markwilkinson1014]

Thanks for the video, what tile material and depth have you used? I find whether I'm using porcelain or ceramic my cutter is rubbish and cracks everything, yours cuts through them so easily!

[@marysiausa4688]

Perfection!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thank you!

[@Wats1984]

Great video. Makes the job look simple. I very much doubt it is though. 👍

[@romiegumayagay8899]

Question please sir! did you just put plain plasterboard behind your jackoboard. then extra strenght adhesive at the back of the jackoboard.

[@JW-rx3md]

Ace video - thanks. What would you deem large format tiles (i.e from what size up)?

[@MarkThefarmer-bi1ec]

Brilliant video, planning on tiling my sister in law’s bathroom soon. (Definitely will come in handy as it will be my first time) ☺ also as we are on a tight budget she wants me to fit her a b and q kitchen. Any chance you could do a kitchen worktop install video as you are so good at teaching? Mainly how to join corners in etc with a jig and a router

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Glad you found it helpful. Kitchen fitting content including tops is coming but won’t be until 2025.

[@MarkThefarmer-bi1ec]

@@TheDIYGuy1 ok thanks 🙏

[@arifn6179]

Great video. I've already painted my kitchen walls but now we've decided to put some tiles. Do I need to remove the paint first or can I apply the tiles straight on the wall?

[@agiugabenson7268]

Interested in knowing about the pattern. How long are the alternate small pieces and where does the off cut go?

[@aficio698]

Great vid - personally I do not understand why we bother with tiles today. Alternative products are fair quicker and less labour intensive. I have a house with not a single tile installed and think it is much better. Just a personal view - each to their own 🤓🤓

[@peterclarke9859]

Can the jacko board be put over plasterboard. Need to do my bathroom, stripping off all the tiles and might have to replace the plasterboard walls.

[@Jack82836]

Great vid! I have a question - why are levelling systems used for floor tiling but not for wall tiling? Is it just not as noticeable?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

You can use them for wall tiling but only really needed for large format. I chose not to use them in this video to make it a little more DIY friendly and to show the fundamentals

[@Jack82836]

@@TheDIYGuy1 makes sense, thank you!

[@willcambridge8629]

Is the sponge wetted ?

[@armanyarali832]

How to fix the edges after cut with grinder?

[@mousetrap335]

how do you cut in around toilets and pipes ... thanks

[@dan180y7]

i have bare plasterboard can i tile onto that or is it worth putting them boards on top that you mentioned

[@BALtiling]

If it's a wet room / shower it needs to be tanked with a product like BAL Waterproof 1C as plasterboard isn't waterproof and will degrade over time due to water ingress through the grout.

[@danielnegash1947]

Can you send me name of the tile please or the links to the website please thanks great work 👌

[@theoisaac9948]

👍 👍 Teach

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks! 😃

[@daniel19831123]

With the sponge clean up, do you have to wet the sponge or are you dry sponging? The only damp wipe that you’ve mentioned is during the first microfibre wipe. So I’m guessing the rest of the wipe with the sponge prior to that is dry sponging?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Damp sponge 🧽

[@125sm3]

One job I hate doing lol 😊

[@MadDog_Rules]

I know you said you didn't do the backer board, but i would hope you at least told the clients that the backer board joints and the screws, should have waterproof tape over them before tiling?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

I advised a lot of things. But ultimately I did what I was asked to do.

[@jackelley2644]

Why do you need waterproof tape? Aren’t the tiles and the grout suppose to keep the water out?

[@MadDog_Rules]

@@TheDIYGuy1 Fair play, if the clients did not take your advise, then it is what it is.

[@MadDog_Rules]

@@jackelley2644 Joints and places where screws are, are not waterproof, that's what the waterproof tape is for. Tiles and grout are not waterproof.

[@matthewhook3375]

@@jackelley2644 in short, no. Tiles and grout are splashproof, but not waterproof. Grout is slightly porous and over time water WILL get behind the tiles in a wet area like a shower. This is why showers constructed from plasterboard always fail eventually, as the plasterboard gradually dissolves. There is an absolute epidemic of such poorly constructed showers in the U.K. The backer board they have used here is the correct material for the job - it is 100% waterproof, but obviously not where screws penetrate or on joints between boards. You need to cover the joints/penetrations with jointing tape and a paintable tanking membrane to make the shower envelope completely waterproof.

Boholohwohahk 🤮 always better than tap water 😂😂 Great video!

[@philgornall]

I tiled for the first time recently and I could not have done it without a laser level - or certainly finish would have been naff. Not all the tiles are the exact same size so you quite often run out, especially if using smaller tiles as I was. Just using a spirit level very difficult

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Good feedback

[@bartbartosz6448]

Foil liquid before tiling would be great...

[@marcot8549]

[@worrun1505]

Silicone? ❌ Sillikn ✅

[@offwiththeirheads4635]

Why no waterproofing?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

I was asked to tile it and that’s all. The bathroom installation is being done by someone else.

[@lorettaowens1504]

​@TheDIYGuy1 isn't that jackerboard waterproof? In the US we use greenboard which is waterproof.

[@MadDog_Rules]

@@lorettaowens1504 Green board is not waterproof, it's water resistant. The joints are not waterproof, neither are the areas with the screws in. That's why you always use a waterproof tape before tiling in a wet area. Even in the non wet areas you would still need to use an acrylic tape etc, to prevent any wall movement from causing cracks in the joint areas and affecting the tiles or plaster.

[@davidbleasdale4874]

British standard says all showers should be tanked before tiling. As a minimum you should have sealed all screws and board joints

[@TheDIYGuy1]

I shouldn’t because that’s not what I was brought in to do. I advised this but the bathroom fitter didn’t want to do it.

[@vic6820]

Just curious, would you not put spacers under the bottom edge? You've rested the tile directly on the tray.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Not needed in this situation really.

[@Nefsz]

Thank you bro

[@johncollins2966]

You didnt show how you cut round your pipework.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Diamond hole cutter

[@johncollins2966]

@@TheDIYGuy1 I know what cuts the holes but it would have been more useful if you actually showed the holes being cut and how to get them in the right place on the tile.

[@Jukozo]

Cant believe the customer chose white grout for those tiles. I'd havd gone with grey 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Yeah me too but each to their own I guess

[@davidsullivan7290]

Never put tile onto wood directly. Always need backer board.

[@BestUserNameUK]

The joints and screws on that backer board should be taped and tanked.
