Your videos are by far the best I have seen for NON EXPERTS such as myself - you have saved me a shed load of money on jobs, my latest was running a spur from the loft to a fused switch to hard wire an Electric fire, it worked a treat using the Wagoo Box as you described - many thanks for such helpful videos.
Your tutorial style is perfect for me. Normally, I fast-forward a lot of waffling but not so with your video. Thanks for some truly great tips!
Glad it was helpful! I try to keep the pace up more so on newer vids. Thanks for the feedback.
Very helpful video for beginners. Clear and thorough. I have 0 issue understanding and appreciate it.
Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback.
Excellent video..I been installing tile professionally for a couple years now.Doing a row of luxury homes where they are super picky about flush grout joints.Tough to do perfectly.Tried washing floor just enough where I can come back the next day and wipe off the film.Tough to get joints flush and tile perfectly clean in the same sitting.Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the feedback James. Unfortunately sometimes cheaper tiles are not exactly the same size so you need to use your eye a bit! Good luck with it.
this video is since 2016 and I find the best information!! thank you.

A word on making the toilet drain opening? I read comments but didn't see if anyone else asked. Going to try my first bathroom floor soon. Thanks. Enjoyed the video.
Great Video. I am definitely going to follow you, as a first time tiler, when I am going to try
You can do it! Thanks for watching.
Spot on this video. Nice one.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Great DIY videos. Most notably the production is to the point. You speak at a digestible speed while visually performing the task as to not bore the audience. Some folks can’t chew bubble gum and walk at the same time. The beginner’s guide gives the viewer just enough info to generally understand what they’re signing up for and can make a confident informed decision to hire a craftsman or dive-in. Hopefully the latter.
Thanks Brian for the kind words, really appreciate it. Glad you feel the vids are appropriate for the beginner as this is what I hope to achieve. I have a short attention span so I use myself as a guide when editing. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thanks for tips , customer wants me to tile s/bath just the same but previous tiler went direct onto chipboard flooring
its been nailed so tiles have come lose would 1/4 " ply treated with Mapei Waterproofing kit do it as cement board would be to high Thanks again, such a good clear video
Why not use something like hardibacker board? It's made in 6mm which is basically 1/4 inch and it is designed for that purpose. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Use flexible tile adhesive and it will be fine
I am going to be filing a corner shower wall and bathroom floor soon. First time doing this type of work. The shower pan has a curved edge and is fiberglass with steel reinforcements. I am worried about setting the pan first because I don’t think I will get nice rounded cuts where the tile will meet it (no trim piece with pan). I was thinking g I should set the pan after the tile is down. Any thought on correct installation? Instructions for pan install where simply to spray foam underneath of it. Has leveling feet installed into pan.
Thanks

Hi mate,,great video,,I want to tile all my bathroom but my old bathroom floor is old floorboards,,I’ve heard about putting 18mm ply over them but won’t that be very high and be a step going in to the bathroom
You could try hardibacker board. They do it it in thinner sizes. If you do have a small step up you can get a new floor threshold strip that neatly joins one floor to the other by smoothing out the drop. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Haven't watched it yet but I know it's good!

Starting to feel it a bit.
Good video thanks
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
Absolutely will be using this as a guide to do my upcoming flat, just to be clear it's a cement floor? It doesn't need any waterproofing layer? always see those in videos based in the US where the houses are wood and plaster but in singapore housing is 99.9 percent full cement and brick same as in alot of the uk
This is cement floor, and a bathroom floor. In a wetroom or shower floor you would need to waterproof it. Also on walls and floors if timber (or not in some cases) I would recommend using backer boards for tiling as there are plenty on the market, they are designed to take tiles, they add a bit of insulation and fitted correctly they are fully waterproof. Hope that helps and best of luck.
I need to cut a few tiles to the size required (from 18x18 to 12.5x 12.5) to make a patch on the floor in the bathroom. After I cut the tile do I need to smooth sharp cut ends somehow (someone told me if to put cut ends it would be a sharp object on the floor). I see you just put cut parts to feet the area. My question is: do you need to smooth the edges somehow sometimes, or it is in some special cases when you smooth them? Maybe when you put groat those sharp parts are not so sharp anymore. Same concern for the wall tiles, do you smooth them somehow after you cut, or just use as they are? Thank you for the great film.
You can file the sharp edge off a bit if you like, but when you grout the tiles, it should cover the sharp edge and problem solved! Hope that helps.
Gloopy is a word. Just like glug and glop. L.O.L. Nice video. Looking forward to others.

POUSE around the HOUSE everything went great man, didn’t take video. I’ll have to figure out how to post a picture. Followed along and it came out killer.
Well done, really pleased for you. Probably saved some money as well by having a go yourself. Nice one!
What tiles did you use? Trying to find similar texture style
That rapid set sure does go hard really really quick first time mixing it nice lovely thick paste took bucket up the stairs then it had turned rock hard couldn’t even stir it lol did I add to much powder?
Maybe. If you're new to tiling I'd stick to a standard setting tile adhesive as it just gives you a bit more time. Practice makes perfect so keep at it! Thanks for watching.
Pro video, man! Fixing to repair wood sub-floor, backer board, and then tile our bathroom floor. I'll probably watch this a few more times.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!
Hello Mate, I have a floor boards in my bathroom, what base would you recommend? Would self levelling floor on membrane work? The bathroom is up stairs. Thank you
If your floorboards are solid and screwed down well, then a sheet of cement board (hardibacker for example) might be an option. But you need to work out if you can afford to raise the floor level as it may create a small step into the next room.
Great video...!
I have 2 layers of 1/2 inch plywood on the floor...do I need to put down cement board too?
Thank you
You have just taught an old Dog some new tricks , Thank you.

hi top videos can you do a video on how to box pipework in please
Hi Scott, great suggestion, I'll see what I can do! It might not be right away though as my time is limited at the moment! Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching!
I’ll be following this for my first go at tiling this weekend. Did you cut the tiles under the shower tray or can you leave them whole? Thank you 😊
I let them go under the shower tray but just cut around the shower tray legs. But you have to allow for the depth of the tile if fitting a new tray or you may end up having to cut down your plinth below the tray. Best of luck.
Very informative! How long did the whole job take, walls and floor? Do you have any recommendations for an electric tile cutter that can also cut wood - Changing blade of course.
Glad the vid helped. The whole job took a few weeks but that was around my day job, just doing a few hours in the evenings when I could. But I was also doing the plumbing, boxing in etc inbetween, so difficult to put a time scale on it. As for tile cutters, you get what you pay for. The one I use in the video is a cheap one, does the job, but the guard is fiddly, and it's not super accurate, so you have to get your eye in. As for cutting wood, I think you want a table saw. You cant cut wood on a tile cutter as far as I know. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
I`m removing the bath and fitting a shower cabinet, the bath sits on a raised platform seven inches high and is made of T&G about one inch thick can I lay the tray direct on to the boards or should I put down something like marine ply first the waste will run under the T&G. thanks vinny.
Sounds like the tongue and groove is solid so no problem with strength. You can add marine ply if you want to avoid rotting if there's a leak. But that said, if you tile it up properly, it shouldn't leak so up to you!
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE thanks for your help.
@pouse - Tips on laying ceramic tile over vinyl floor?
rob1621 (in case he doesn’t reply)
you’re gunna want to rip that up. The vinyl won’t let it stick very well.
Rob1621 - I agree with Mickey. If your talking about the one piece vinyl (a bit like lino) then I'd rip it up. If you have floor boards then it's worth putting a suitable base over them first like hardibacker board. Plenty of purpose made sheet materials for tiling on these days. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and good luck with it.
how did you make the the tile flush to the outside floor?
It depends on the two floor heights. I have tiles of similar thickness in the bathroom and the hall outside. I then left a slightly wider gap between the different tiles ( a few mm) and filled with grout to make the levels meet. But if the gap is quite different, you can use a threshold strip between the two floors. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Is it best to but your floor tiles first? Or your wall tiles? We are doing up our home and ran out of money so having to do it our selves. Also can the toilet sit on the tiles or does it have to go round?
We have to board the floor first so will this make a difference to how we do it?
Hi there, to be honest it doesn't really matter. Floor first is better in some ways as your wall tile comes down onto the floor tile. If it's in a wet area like a wet room this is better as if your grout ever gets slightly cracked, the water would run down onto the floor tile and not the grout (if that makes sense). Toilet can again be tiled around or sat on top. I did my toilet on top. You can see how I fitted the rest of the bathroom by watching my other videos here if it helps - How to fit a toilet - czcams.com/video/85Re9VgHFU0/video.html and How to install a bathroom sink unit - czcams.com/video/8H55hZ3qFuA/video.html, How to fit a shower tray with shower tray riser - czcams.com/video/y2DI998gxdg/video.html. Best of luck with it. Thanks for watching!
POUSE around the HOUSE thanks alot, hope it works out haha am not the handiest of woman although i can restore wood quite haha
(You could come and do it could you haha)
I need to replace 3 tiles. Do I need to use the spacers for just three? Also, you didnt show it in this video; what if I replace a tile and its low or high on one side?
Spacers are always a good idea as they hold the tile in place while the adhesive sets, but you can do it by eye if you like. If your tile is low, put more adhesive below it, if it's high, remove a bit. Thanks for watching.
Great vid!! Do u always fit tiles before installing the toilet? Cheers
Hi Steve, you can fit the toilet before tiling, it just means you have to cut the tile around the toilet. Then you can grout the gap and sealant around the base of the toilet. I always think it's a bit neater to lay the tiles first, but to be honest it's up to you. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching yet another video Steve!
Hi... what model and brand is the wetsaw please...?
That one was actually powercraft from Aldi. Nothing special, just a budget cutter that does the job. Thanks for watching!
Can tile be installed if bathroom fixtures (toilet, tub, vanity) are already there, or if you just want the new floor but keep all fixtures the way they are?
Yes they can, it's just more fiddly. Make sure you cut neat and use a good bead of sealant around toilet etc so any spilt water doesn't seep under tiles.
Well you have to remove the toilet anyways because builders get beneath the toilet to install builder grade tiles
Do I need to remove the toilet bowl and bathroom vanity before installing the floor tiles? Thanks
No, it's up to you. Personally I like to have the tiles underneath, that way if you ever need to replace the units and don't want to replace the tiles then floor is covered. It also water proofs the floor, but it's not essential. Hope that helps.
I need to tile a small bathroom. Is it best to tile the walls or floor first? Thanks!
You can do either really. It's a good idea to have the wall tiles falling onto the floor so do them last but be mindful of the mess on your new floor tiles!
Yes I can actually

good job dude! looks nice. Ignore the comments about your accent. My only complaint would be audio level. But keep on making videos!
Hi Bill I've tried to improve my videos and audio over time. This is an older video and filming/editing was never intended to be my strong point. However viewers have made it quite clear they not only want DIY but professionally recorded and edited videos! They'll get what they're given! Thanks for the feedback Bill and thanks for watching.
So does the tile just start from the beneath the door of the bathroom ?
and what sort of flooring is in the corridor ?
You can start the tiling from wherever you want. I started from the door (entrance to bathroom). I had to trim a small amount off some of the first row of tiles as the room wasn't square. Choose your line up the middle like I did, work from that line out, and also chose a starting place. Preparation is the key! In my hall way I also have tiles of the same depth so I just used spacers between the hall and bathroom tiles and filled with grout. This is under the door when it's closed. You could also use some carpet/tile trim (door threshold) to cover the join, its up to you. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Use a larger notch floor trowel next time. That serator is only for small format wall tiles....also if you have to tile over ply use a sbr mix on the ply 1st.... Best of luck
Thanks for the feedback.
I like it when someone knows what they're on about (well done)
Thanks Barry, some people might dispute that!! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching!
That was a pretty funny cut when you said deadpan 2 hours have passed. Thank you for video very concise and informative
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
Do you need to paint a floor with "Kills" before you repair the patch on the floor? I've read such advice somewhere.
You can use some sort of sealer if you like. In this video the floor screed was fresh so no need.
Is it ok to tile the whole floor and sit the shower tray on top of the tiles ?
Yes, but it just means you spend money on a few extra tiles that you'll never see, but it'll entirely up to you. Thanks for watching!
What size tile spacers have you used, 3mm?
Yes 3mm.
Thanks, i have one tile on the floor which has come loose, should i still apply the adhesive to the floor rather than the back of the tile. When i lifted the tile off it looks like the adhesive was applied to the back of the tile and not the floor
You can apply it to either but usually less messy and easier to apply it to the back of the tile if it's just the one. Hope that helps. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Does this same video work if you have only cement underneath the tile already installed?
I had cement screed under my tiles. But you need a flat surface. If you have a bumpy service you can buy self leveling screed that goes over your existing floor. Once it's level and it has set, you can tile over it if that's any help. Good luck and thanks for watching.
How do you tile your bathroom if there are painted walls and floor?
There are products you can put on the wall first like plaster primer. As for your floor, depending on the floor it may need more work. For example you can't tile straight onto floor boards. Hope that helps.
That floor scraper looks the business....where did you get that??
Hi Charlieshooter, the floor scraper is from Wickes, cost about £15. The blades are reversible i.e. they have two usable sides so when one side goes blunt, you can take it out and turn it around. They are only a couple of quid to replace. They are also great for scraping walls. Thanks for watching my video and good luck with your projects.
I saw your back at 1:44.
Great tutorial, but I’m more interested in those tracksuit bottoms. They look so comfy, did you get them from Sports Direct in the sale? I also saw a bit of your back when you were doing the tiling, maybe you could edit that out; just a tip.
The back was showcased at 1:44. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback David, glad you enjoyed the video. I like to show a bit of bum flesh occasional to be accepted by the building community. As for the tracksuit bottoms, they are as you say, very comfortable for all aspects of DIY, especially jobs where you need to stretch and squat. Good luck with your tiling and thanks for watching!
Speaking as a woman, I really enjoyed the view...😉
creeper
Which floor adhesive did you use please?
It's at 8mins 14 seconds.
Can you tile on wooden floor?
No is the simple answer. Whilst it is physically possible, wood will tend to absorb moisture from the adhesive quickly and could cause the tiles to come loose in time, and even then it'd only be feasible on something like plywood. Old floorboards for example just wouldn't work. You could screw some thin sheets of hardibaker type board or elements board to the floor then tile onto that.
Is it necessary to use cement backer board on a floor or is treated plywood sufficient?
Andrew Hacker yes you should use the cement board to avoid cracking tiles
Cement backer board is a better option but I've tiled onto plywood with no problems. You can always brush some water:PVA mixed 3:1 over the plywood first to reduce absorption. Whatever you put down just watch the depth as it will start to build your floor height up when you add the tiles and adhesive which can be a pain lining up with the floor outside. Good luck with it!
But you didn't put down anything here, did you? Is it ok to just put them down on the cement or is it more dependent on whether you have uneven areas as to whether you use an underlayment? Great vid!
I used cement backer board on my floor. Easy to work with no need to prime it, low profile 5mm and strong. I found that marine plywood was quite expensive.. if you are going to plywood make sure it's properly secured to the floor.
Dan, sorry for late reply. I didn't put anything down as there was fresh floor screed on the floor. You can tile onto cement direct. I'd only use the backer board if I was tiling an upstairs bathroom with a wooden floor, or if it was replacing or going over plasterboard. It's also handy if you need to raise your floor slightly. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Don’t you need some type of membrane in between the tile and cement?? Ditra?
No, but you may want to if its a wet room floor. This one isn't. Thanks for watching.
how do you join tiled wall and floor? Don't you have a baseboard or something?
Depends on your application. Some people line and tank a whole room first. If it's just a bathroom like this, you just tile your one surface first, then the other. Grout corners and sealant corners in wet areas like a shower. Thanks for watching.
Great video but why didn’t you explain the radius cuts around the shower?
I didn't do radius cuts, just cut square under enough to be hidden buy the shower tray and plinth. Hope that helps.
@@POUSEaroundtheHOUSE So if you extended the tile under the shower base, what did you use to keep the shower base level (since the tile would raise the front)?
I made a comment about this video before watching all of it and I deleted it because it's actually a great video, and I was wrong in my original comment.
Well thanks for watching the whole video. Not sure I read the original comment but all comments good and bad welcome here!
Did you not backbutter the floor tiles? Isn't that required, especially for ones that size?
It depends on the situation. My floor had been recently screeded so it was near to flat. As you see in the video, if the are low or high points I made adjustments for that, but there was no real need for the buttering. But some people like to do it as it can aid adhesion. Horses for courses I guess. Have a play around and get a feel for it. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
It's not really for adhesion or leveling though; tile is very fragile to shear forces (think how tile cutters work), so non-uniform support beneath it can cause multiple weakpoints and make the tile crack pretty easily. Backbuttering ensures that the crevices on the back of the tile are filled to provide support. It makes the tile a whole lot more durable to impacts, which is important for floors. My understanding is that it's actually building code to backbutter large format tiles, and it's for this reason. The installation instructions that come with the tile almost certainly mention to do it as well.
You can see from the level floor, the thickness of the cement I laid, and how firmly the tiles were pushed in that there was plenty of cement filing the dips in the tiles. They are solid as a rock, it is in my own bathroom. But, if in doubt yes, you can back butter the tiles. You just have to watch you don't lay so much cement that your floor goes too high as you may need it to line up with a floor of an adjoining room. I guess it's a case of work each job out based on the situation you dealing with at that time. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comments.
POUSE around the HOUSE the man's right you should have back buttered the tiles any tile considered as large format needs to be back buttered wall or floor
Umm . . . could you sort of pipe in the grout with, say, an icing type piper?
You could have a go, but it'll all fall out a few weeks later. You need to push it in hard to fill all the joints up. Hope that helps. Good luck and thanks for watching!

How is this video free?
Because I made it all up!....Just joking. Thanks for the feedback.
Great video, but a tip from a tradesman to anyone who is checking this video:
- avoid using flexible pipes as much as possible, they are unhygienic, the ridges will get filled with dirt eventually and are prone to clogging. In this case the flexible pipe could have easily been replaced with a straight more robust pipe.
- avoid using t pieces for drain pipes whenever possible.
Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
First, you have to let the cement drying more than 2 hours, at least 10 to 12 hours before applying the grout, if not, the tile can wobble and make bumps on the corners. Second, i strongly suggest to back butter the tiles, the job will last longer and you can prevent tiles from damages, cracks and unstick from the floor. Third, when you apply the tiles, you need to push them slightly from left to right to adhere more into the cement. You're welcome.
This is rapid set adhesive, it doesn't need to be left that long. If you have worked with it you'd know about it. It is designed for the very purpose of getting the job done quick. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
