the sheds do how-to leaflets for quite a range of things.

Dear All,

We're having a small shower room completely renovated. Basically starting
again from scratch.

I'm thinking about having a go at the tiling myself, all the walls and the
floor, (especially after seeing what the local tilers want per meter).
I've
had a go before at replacing damaged areas and doing little bits here and
there but this is the first time that I'll be taking on what is a major
tiling project (for me anyway). The tiling is going to be done before any
of
the fittings are put in place (except for the shower tray - quadrant type)
so I'll have a 'blank canvas' so to speak.

I've got a couple of weeks or so before the tiling needs to be completed
and
was wondering if anyone can recommend a good tiling guide / book that I'd
find helpful. I'm interested in one which especially shows the planning
and
preparation stages and any useful tips that are helpful for the more
intricate areas. It is also looking like part of the project will involve
the use of mosaic tiles as well, if that makes any difference.

Any suggestions welcome.


Regards, Ian.

It makes things easy if you've got flat walls and floor, and tiles all
of the same thickness - otherwise getting the tiles level can be
difficult. You can use a block of wood or spirit level to help you
rather than just do it by eye.

Buy a diamond wheel tile cutter for around 30 quid from B&Q or
wherever - much easier than fiddling around with anything else.

The general technique etc is described in almost every diy book, on a
lot of websites and in leaflets in diy stores.
