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!
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 🙏
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
This has given me a lot more confidence in modernising a property, Thanks
Best of luck with it.
Your the best, You already taught me how to plaster now you have prepped me for my bathroom tile job.
You are an absolute BEAST...! Brilliant work mate. Very nice
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!
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.
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.
Brilliant - your a natural teacher. thanks a lot!!
Not so sure about that, but thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

Thanks for the feedback.
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.
Good job pal, just tiled my shower, by the looks ive pretty much nailed it.
Nice work, well done!
thx for the good explanation. It's nice to see a craftsperson at work explaining their steps. You taught very clearly. And great work and finish too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Covered everything in detail with some nice tips along the way. Excellent job mate 👍
Thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your project!
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 - czcams.com/video/y75e479ups0/video.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!
Thank you for the tutorial!
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'm about to re tile my ensuite. Never tiled before but this helps loads! Thank you.
Good luck!
How did it go?
Always helpful and detailed advice. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback Paul, glad to have helped and 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'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!
Awesome advice! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
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.
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 video , give me confidence to give it a go 👍
Thanks for this mate. Your bathroom looks great.
Thanks for the kind words.
Thank you from Aegina island Greece
I’m a bathroom fitter and I watch these tiling vids and gotta day guys he’s good at explaining to the layman what he’s thinking

You make a very good instructor thanks for the video
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
That was a really useful video with some greats points made. Very grateful for the effort - thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
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.
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!
Bloody excellent job! Nice.
Thanks for the feedback.
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.
Great work. thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much man my bathroom looks so much better thanks to you :)
Good work!
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!
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.
Hands down one of the best tiling vids on here. Real attention to detail. Thank you
Glad you found it useful. It's an older video now so products and tile spacing preferences etc of course change, but hopefully the basics of how to plan your wall and overcome problems will always be the same. Best of luck 👍
Great job well done
Great video - thank you for the detailed explanation :)
No problem, thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!
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!

Thank you! Cheers!
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.
cracking video mate cheers
Thanks Chris, and thanks for watching!
nice lesson, never done before so very interesting , thanks
Thanks for the feedback.
yup helps a lot cheers dude keep the videos coming
I'll do my best!
Thank you!! Well done explanation

Great video 👍👍
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
Great video. Great teaching. Great tips. Nice hens 😉
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
In fact, it was that good that I've just finished tiling my shower and the floor. One up for women 😂Your tips and preparation techniques were instrumental in me achieving that. Thank you 😊
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!
badass job. lots of good tips

Really good job there mate

Thanks for your kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video.
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!
Got a welsh twang there. Great video's.
That's because I'm Welsh! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!

Thank fook for screw fix!!
Indeed! Thanks for watching.
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.
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!

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 video man!I hope do more for diferent type job
Hi there, I have plenty more videos on different jobs. Please subscribe and check out my other videos on my channel. Enjoy! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
GOOD JOB
Thank you 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?
You are good mate
I'm glad you think so, most don't! Thanks for watching.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE me and my husband couldn’t stop watching your videos 👍
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.
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!
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!
thank you
Happy to help.
Thanks mate looks good. I'm calling Newport accent, or at least Gwent, haha.
Gwent opens it up a bit! Thanks for watching.
