How to tile a wall

How to tile a bathroom wall- Tiling a bathroom wall is a pretty straight forward procedure if you know the right methods to go about the job.

How to tile a bathroom wall (step 1) Wall preparation- if your going to tile a bathroom wall or any wall, wall preparation is the most important thing. Uneven walls and lose plaster work will affect the finished job. Make sure all the walls that you are going to tile are flat, use a straight edge like a spirit level to check the flatness of the surface. If there are any high parts or lumps in the plaster chip them of and fill with a suitable plaster, we normally use bonding plaster, the same applies to any deep holes. The wall dose not have to be perfectly flat, though this would be ideal for the application of tiles.

Make sure the wall is in good solid condition, if you tile over lose plaster of render the tiles will eventually fall off over a matter of time, or may not stick at all. If in doubt contact a professional plasterer for advice.

How to tile a bathroom wall (step 2) Once the walls are in good condition you can start to plan your tile work, start by applying a coat of pva adhesive normally we use 2 parts water 1 part pva adhesive, this will help the tiles adhere to the wall.

Horizontal spacing Next work out the spacing of the tiles this is important to ensure that there are no slithers of tiles in the corners or at the top or the bottom of the wall, tile slithers look ugly and detract from the quality of the finished job. Working from corner to corner of the room, start from roughly the center of the wall, now take a tile and a pencil, place the tile on the wall and mark the left and right hand side of the tile, then working in to one of the corners, place the edge of the tile on one of the marks and mark the other edge,(on the wall) repeat this until you reach the corner, the tile in the corner should be roughly half a tile, now repeat this procedure but work into the other corner, both of the tiles in each corner should be about the same size, roughly half a tile (near enough is ok)

Vertical spacing. Now working from the floor place a tile on the floor and mark the top of the tile on the wall, then place the bottom edge of the tile on the mark you have made and mark where the top edge of the tile is on the wall, repeat this procedure until you reach the ceiling, the last tile should be at least half a tile.

If the top tile is a small slither start the procedure again but start slightly lower than the original line you made at the bottom of the wall for the first tile, this will help to equalize the top and bottom tiles.

How to tile a bathroom wall (step 3) Once you have worked out the tile spacing its time to start tiling, using a spirit level or laser level, mark a line on the wall from corner to corner, this line will be on the same mark you made from when you worked out the vertical tile spacing( the top of the first tile near nearest to the floor).

Then screw a wooden batten to the wall, making sure that the top edge of the batten is in line with the line you have made with the spirit level. Now you can start fixing the tiles on to the wall using a suitable adhesive, waterproof if you are tiling a bathroom wall, align the tile tiles with the marks you made from the horizontal spacing procedure, apply the adhesive to the wall with a notched spreader and apply evenly spaced small blobs of adhesive to the back of the tile, this will help the tiles to sit even on slightly uneven surface, now place the tile on the wall, and repeat this step with another tile, work horizontally and build up the rows of tile from the bottom to the top, seperate each tile with a tile spacer, as you are tiling make sure the corners of the tiles are all level, if one corner is lower than another, gently remove the tile and apply a little more adhesive to the corner that is affected.

How to tile a bathroom wall (tile cutting) The best method for cutting tiles is to use a manual tile cutter for the straight cuts, or a wet diamond wheel cutter is useful for cutting the more awkward cuts, ie if you need to cut a corner off a tile or to cut around a pipe or any other object.

How to tile a  wall (grouting) When the wall is fully tiled, clean off any excess adhesive with a sponge, clean any adhesive from the gaps between the tiles, mix the grout according to the manufactures instructions and apply with a grout spreader,”Bathroom Fitters Liverpool” use a grout float for speed and ease of application, leave the grout for about 30 minutes until it has slightly hardened then clean off the excess with a damp sponge, don't soak the wall as this will wash out the grout, make sure all the grouted joints are smooth and even. Leave to dry then dust off the tiles with a dry cloth.
