  • I recently tilled in a room where my main brass water pipe enters my flat. Was it wise to grout the tile firmly round the pipe? I can see a problem should I need to remove the tiles in the future as this may rupture the pipe. Or can the tile grout cause damage to the brass pipe over time?

    did I do bad? this was my first time tiling.

  • Love how they measure up properly and cut the hole for that radiator pipe bang on - but the fit an absolutely atrociously off-centred tile afterwards! That'd be off in weeks, with the hot pipe expanding! Amateur hour :)

  • Lol here we go again .... got the floor tile orientation wrong !
    99.9 % of floor tiles are too hard for a tile saw .
