The PORSADRILL J-Hook (tile core ejector tool) is fully manufactured in the UK and compliments the range of core-drilling solutions offered by 365Drills in the PORSADRILL range. Sold separately to the main range of core drill bits which range from 6mm to 125mm and are available in 35 different sizes (fitting all of those round holes you might expect to see in walls in all bathrooms, kitchens and the likes) due to the fact that you only need to ever buy one for your tool kit, the PORSADRILL J-Hook is sure to be the bathroom fitters dream when it comes to protecting those screwdriver tips you tend to damage by prying out the tough porcelain and ceramic tile cores that often get stuck in the drill bit.

LET YOUR SCREWDRIVERS THANK YOU – USE A J-HOOK INSTEAD!

For more information on the Tile Core Ejector Tool by 365Drills visit www.365drills.com.

This shows that those searching for such terms are searching much much less. In fact the February searches are more than 40% down compared to the initial month in February when our website www.uktilersworld.co.uk first went live.

On the first page of Google 50% of the 10 links are websites of ours and collating all stats on all the websites gives an even worse outcome for the term ‘TilerWorld’ and all terms similar.

If this continues it would suggest that people are searching a lot less for the website than they used to be when it was first launched. And we’re hearing all the time about tilers not getting work through such websites which can only be a result of the current climate and leading websites in the advice field increasing in traffic suggests that more and more people are looking for information regarding DIY tiling, and less are looking for professional wall and floor tilers.

Please feel free to pop over to the forum and contribute to the Poll as it’ll help give us a bit of an understanding as to what sort of percentages now have a Tiling NVQ.

Procedures, that are of vital importance, such as setting-out, are covered in considerable detail. The reader is told what can go wrong and given advice. Attention is also paid to tiling with terracotta, marble, slate and granite, that involve slightly different techniques compared to ceramic tiling.

Ceramic and Stone Tiling: A Complete Guide

Staffordshire Tiling Course by Construction Skills College Limited
Staffordshire Tiling Course by Chase Tiling Adademy

5 Day Plumbing Course.

Tiling around your bathtub is a fairly straightforward procedure that most homeowners can pull off with just a little learning and patience. Tiles are a good choice for the bathroom, as they are easy to keep clean in what is essentially a very damp atmosphere. Tiles for around a bath may be ceramic, glass or stone. The choice is up to you and depends on things such as the look you are going for and what fits with the décor of the rest of the room.

Getting Started

To get started, you’ll need to make sure you lay all the tiles out very precisely. This is an important step because this is a labor-intensive job when it comes to measuring and cutting. You might also want to consider using mastic instead of thinset for this job. Mastic is much stickier than thinset and will prevent the tiles from slipping down the wall or otherwise out of place.

You will then need to measure the height of each wall that is located above the tub. By dividing this number in half, you can find the halfway point on the wall. Then, measure how many tiles above and below this line will fit. If you end up with less than half a tile at the top and bottom, adjust the center mark to give yourself more space to work with. A small sliver will look odd and may not cut straight or stay stuck.

Laying the Tile

Once you have your tile layout all planned out, start tiling at the center mark and work outwards. Mastic will last about twenty minutes once it is laid on, so don’t lay too much at once. Don’t forget to make the deep ridges with the trowel to help the mastic spread out and adhere to the tiles correctly. In addition, you should use tile spacers to ensure the tiles are laid evenly and that there aren’t any vast expanses of grout. You will also need to leave space between the bottom row and the tub for caulk.

Some tiles will need to be cut to fit edges, or around faucets. Remember the rule: measure twice, cut once. Having a few extra tiles that you need is also useful in case of breakages.

Finishing the Job

Grouting is the last thing you will have to do in order to fill in the gaps between the tiles and hold them fast. Push the grout gently into the gaps and wipe off any excess grout with a damp sponge. A final buff can be done the following day after it has all had a good chance to dry.

If you are not feeling too confident about embarking upon the project on your own, taking a course in tiling may be just what you need, as a course will teach you all the skills you need to make your home improvements look professional.
