Help! This is a new shower that would take our 1/2 bath to a 3/4. We picked out this mosaic tile that was on mesh, and were assured it would be no problem. As he went to apply it, there was no waterproofing. I had to insist he waterproof. He also cut our areas of the tile so he could Gorilla tape them to the wall telling me that since I made him waterproof he couldn’t use nails like he normally would. Once grouted, the spacing issues became very visible. From afar it looks good but when in there, not so much. There are several flowers missing their center and some on their sides.

I’m looking to put in a backsplash and am unsure of which way to lay out the tiles. I’ll be doing behind the stovetop and the whole corner behind the sink. My question is, which layout is best? Fully framed? Partially? Or just a row ontop? Ignore the sand colored tiles - the green ones are what I’ll be using. The blue and light pink tiles are just to represent our cabinet and wall colours. The only tiles that will be used for the backsplash are the green and turquoise ones. submitted by /u/Fun-Feature-2203 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

This is my first time working with marble tile. I pre-sealed the tile before floor installation. Now, I'm ready for grout and the grout I've chosen requires sealer. Do I need to be concerned about the grout sealer damaging the tiles? I've only ever used sealer on ceramic and porcelain tiles where I just wipe off the excess. Thanks for advice / experience. https://preview.redd.it/j7xpr2j9duyc1.jpg?width=2548&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db272fe3372b20eae8e4b8f19f1c3f2ad0ad96df submitted by /u/Longjumping-Put2571 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

All - in the process of redoing our bathroom and started the tile work over the weekend for the shower walls. I intend to trim the end with a Schlutter profile. My original plan was to throw it up when I begin the wall and terminate the tile into as I go through the install. I have done a good bit of tile over my life, but never had to backbutter and this is slowing my down significantly. My a bit deal. I am a bit of a perfectionist so I would rather take my time and do it right. But I am concerned that I will not be able to finish the entire wall in one day (I tend to have the ability to do ..read more
