I'm not sure of the cost it was a few years back when I done minehttp://m.wallsandfloors.co.uk/catrangetiles/quarry-tiles/traditional-quarry/red-7573/11968/?gclid=CMfKqJjQ7cMCFabHtAodWWAAKg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
downsouth 7,307 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Mine has done the same in places.I used a ready mix company as I had to lay it in a day on my own I wish I'd have knocked it up myself now.My mate is going to Tile mine in the summer 18squ metres he's told me to shop about and find the best deal on non slip porcelains.Im hoping to find some 600mm square tiles so there is less grout.I can't remember what adhesive and grout he said he would use but I know he said something about flexi.He said not to use quarry tiles as they are too porous.

Quarry tiles are sound as long as you seal them every so often with linseed oil, the piss just rolls off them into the drains Quote Link to post Share on other sites
