This is the most simple explained video I’ve seen on laying tiles. This is all beginners are asking for. They don’t need people showing off on how well they lay tile. Well done!
Funny how a lot of the pros and know it alls are on here watching a video titled "How to Tile a Bathroom Floor with Wickes ". This kind of job would be sufficient for any DIYer. So instead of being arm chair critics, you are more than welcome to post a video yourself on how it should be done correctly.
I've been tiling professionally for 15 years. I could cry watching this! Tears of laughter mixed with pain, embarrassment, awkwardness, horror, disbelief and grief!
I've got one tip to add. When using the notched spreader, make sure to make the lines in one direction, instead of swirling as it is done here. The way it is done here, air will get trapped in areas in the middle. This can later on cause the tiles to loosen. When the lines created by the spreader all go in one direction, air can escape from the middle all the way out to the sides as you press the tile down, and this helps the tile stay in place in the future.
THANK YOU THANKYOU......finally a tutorial that is not sped up 100 times that you cannot see how to do this. Very appreciative of your detailed and informative explanation.
This is the funniest thing I have seen in ages. You have a promising career ahead in comedy producing video like this. People haven't laid tiles raw onto a timber substrate since the 80s....
Thank you! I've been looking for a method of shaping tiles around my toilet so I can redo my bathroom floor and most tutorials just discuss shaping around the flange, but I'm not removing my toilet for this project because I'm doing vinyl tiles over the preexisting ceramic ones, so none of them were that helpful! This method is so clever, I feel so silly I'd never have thought it up myself.
Good evening to you every encouragement to master the work. I am a citizen of the country of Algeria, I follow and witness your channel every success, although I specialize in the field of construction
I have noticed many techniques that I have learned through youtube that they are not best practice: - mortar or adhesive should be troweled in straight lines so as to allow air to escape. - tiles should be pushed back and forth so as to collapse the ridges made by the trowel achieving a better bond. - using plastic silicone profilers is better than using tape.
Patrick Meus Hello guys after watching many videos tutorials, Your is the worst ever! No clear, adhesive wrong Spreading, paper temple is for kids, screw long wood for level is for kids, thanks for the generosity FOR WASTING TIME.
I’m glad there are videos out there like this, it keeps me in work...if people found out that this is the absolute hardest way to go about laying a small bathroom and thus a huge waste of time, I’d be out of a job, lol. Not saying it’s the wrong way, just the long way
From experience I'd never lay tiles on plywood floor, even with primer. It's susceptible to movement in the future causing the grout to crack and lift. It's best to use a fibre cement board like hardie backer.
I use the York store and have always found it to be a pleasant experience. They always have the stock I need and I find the Wickes own-branded tools to be of good quality and durable. The staff have always been helpful and approachable. Sadly I have found out this week that the senior management of this company hates its customers, considers us bigots and would rather us not buy from their stores. They have tried some furious backpedaling by saying that the remarks of their Chief Operations Officer Fraser Longden were taken “out of context”. Don’t you dare try to gaslight us with your weasel words. We know exactly what low opinion you have of us as your customers. All Fraser Longden did was say the quiet part out loud. We have received your message and will now act (by taking our custom elsewhere) accordingly.
Using a toothed spreader you should spread the adhesive to form straight lines. Waving it round randomly like an artex pattern forms sealed channels of air underneath the tile. Straight channels allow air to escape from underneath the tile making it much easier to level. There is a video on here of a guy laying glass tiles to illustrate this.
First rule of thumb with tiling, have a sequence of work. 1.) Fit bath only and don't fit wc and basin. They are furniture pieces. 2) Tile the bath in, tile the whole room and grout before fitting wc and basin. It's a far better finish and allows for future change of wares without making you think about finding a merchant for obsolete tiles.
The adhesive spreading is wrong! it's suppose to be spread in one direction so that when the tile is placed down the air can escape and the tile can bed properly!!
Even if troweled properly, he was installing directly on plywood. The tile will crack where the sheets butt together. We would never do that on this side of the pond.
Whats the point of a nice looking bathroom when Its Going to fail anyway. Thats like buying a nice looking car that has no engine ...... Thats a little stupid if you ask me
@@underpantswedgy the floor is going to fail because the prep isn't done correctly. For example, you don't tile directly plywood especially in a bathroom, it must be screeded making sure the floor goes towards the floor waste. He was using the wrong size notch (too small) so the tiles don't have that much coverage. He isn't using a flexible glue since the floor will move and the tiles will pop off. The lay out of the tiles is wrong. You don't cut around a toilet. You remove it and install it after the floor is tiled. The floor isn't waterproofed (depending on the circumstances) almost everything explained in the video is wrong. it may look pretty but he took all the wrong steps and alas it will fail. I'm a qualified tiler so I know what I'm talking about
Luke Chapman I believe you against this video and the troweled adhesive line must be straight to allow the air to escape to get full coverage on the tile to bed
He made a good job of tiling in the bathroom after working on it most of the day, When his wife takes a look at the finished job she says "I'am not sure I like the colour of these tiles I selected"
Not sure if anyone noticed, but although there was plenty of people saying don't tile around the toilet, the tiles actually change from 9:50 to 11:24. The grout line was in the centre of the toilet, then it was down the left hand side??
I only ever fitted lino or laminate to wooden flooring. I'm tiling my downstairs toilet and it's concrete flooring. Everything is coming out toilet and sink pedestal even ripping the old skirting board and tilingclose to the wall then new skirting on top. So much easier and looks better
Quite a few things wrong here but mainly detail to help the process. As for cutting around objects just use a diamond blade in an angle grinder and finish with a Tungsten Carbide file. Better - remove objects if you can and tile under (e.g. WC pans can often be removed and replaced easily even though raised up by the tile thickness - modern WC soil connectors can accomodate this. To cut tiles at the edge, measurement with a tape rule is a poor method. Just lay a whole tile on top of the last whole tile, then another whole tile overlapping it and pressed against the wall. Draw a pencil line on the first tile then scribe along this line less the spacer dimension. On a health and safety note - don't pour the powder into the bucket and make clouds of dust - either do this carefully of wear a mask.
When I laid tile in my bathroom, I bought a little spacer from the building supply store, that was placed before the wax ring. This raised the commode to the level of the tile.
That was going to be my question. Is it better to remove everything from the bathroom first then lay tiles. I’m going to be doing my bathroom soon with new bath toilet and sink so obviously want to tile as well
WOW ceramic tile over a wood floor!! and against a wood base!! No need to put tile under the toilet. It's totally unprofessional but you make it look legit. Amazing!! Can you show us how to install tile over carpet padding using velcro?
I was using sarcasm about the ceiling tiles. Yes I know most homes in the west have wood floors. In the states it's plywood. That said, WE ALWAYS TILE UNDER THE TOILET TO THE PIPE. The mounting flange goes OVER the tile. . However, we also put a 3/4 " wire reinforced mortar bed down first. You never tile directly to wood, NEVER. I also know its a product promo but its wrong and should be ridiculed.
doggiesarus I hope you bought extra tile, you're screwed otherwise. That was the worst advice ever, it would have been much easier to remove the toilet and sink. I think a lot of this video is what not to do when tiling your bathroom floor.
Patrick Deschamps remove toilet and sink. Tile the entire floor. Then put toilet and sink back on top of the tiles. The only “cuts” you will need to make are the holes for the pipes that feed the sink and bath. Rather than spending ages nipping and filing a tile to fit around one particular toilet.
Imagine tiling round things,then the tile being discontinued when you want a new loo or sink,complete retile ballache,not a bad video if you read between the lines
I am about to tile my bathroom floor & walls I shall be referring to this video many times no doubt, I buy all my DIY Products from my local Dunstable Store, I know the Staff and their a Great Team!
you better not refer to much to this video or your tile will fail if you a wood subfloor you must put down durock or an uncoupling membrane or the tile will come up
I thought overall that this was an informative video on tiling when it comes to tile spacing, centering, grouting, cleaning, etc. The only comment I would make in contrary to what's shown here (and it's a big warning...): Is that it's MUCH better to remove the "obstacles" and tile before those are put in, than to tile around them. Reason being (example): If the homeowner ever wanted or needed to replace their toilet, they would have to get one that was exactly the same footprint as the previous one (not a guaranteed availability) OR one that was a larger footprint, and this one already has a large footprint to begin with - OR they'd have to completely re-tile. It's much better to tile around the flange and set the toilet on top than to tile around the toilet. Same advice goes for the sink and tub.
tip, install the toilet after the tiling job, no need to cut tiles out around the toilet just 1 hole for the pipe. also the toilet looks much nicer with the seem resting on the tiled floor !
Tiles should be under the toilet pan. In effect what you have done in the video is to slightly lower the toilet pan/seat by bringing the floor height up. A tall person like myself finds things difficult when the seat height is even lower!
It's more of tiling an ordinary floor than a bathroom. I don't have the on-hands experience, but i at least watched people doing this. Most of the concerns are already stated by others. So I'll just state one or two. . You've mentioned something around "must be flat".. No.. That shouldn't be the case for a bathroom. It should be a little bit inclined/slant so the water will flow to where the drain is.
All said and done, the job looks decent. Just goes to show, anyone could make a job look alright. It's a matter of whether or not it's going to last. With non-directional trowel lines, not back buttering those tiles and installing over plywood, I give those tiles 2 months before they start breaking bond and cracking grout lines. Kudos on the right cuts around the toilet and sink using tile nippers, but that is not the way to do it! Always tile before setting those. So many wrongs here
Hi I want to tile the floor with the ceramic tiles 200* 600mm using the herringbone design. The problem is the opposite walls are not straight they have a C-shape or in a form of brackets ( ). The gaps from the the walls are so great. Please help me out. Thank you

Hello everyone. A neighbor Once me to lay ceramic tile’s on her bathroom floor I’m pretty handy but it’s been a while I haven’t done it what should I lay down on floor first? As of now it has a decent layer of Louan sheet.
