Absolutely fantastic tutorial. I've gone from not wanting to do tiling to actually wanting to do it and feeling confident in doing so.
Thanks, this is great 👍

As a DIYer that has done this sort of job I can say this is the best straight forward explanation and demonstration of how to do the job I have seen. When I did it I wasn't as game as Stuart in the layout and drew it all up first - but the principle is the same: know what you plan to do before you do it and the job is way less stressful.

I like this channel better than TOH or many of the home project shows. Stuart is just a great teacher. Concise, organized and realistic. His engineering back round is evident in his explanations.

Very good Stuart. If your new to tiling and fancy a go there ain't much better than this.

This is best and most comprehensive tiling video I've seen so far, definitely going in the saved folder, thanks and great job 👍🏻

Great lesson.
With glossy tiles you can remove the grout with a dry cloth. You just keep polishing and it leaves them nice and clean and does not spoil the grout you want to keep between the tiles.

I also love how youve chosen dark grout, its a grest contrast with the white tiles, and you dont have to worry about the grout staining

You're a better tiler than any professional tiler i've ever hired 🤣

Great video, i watched your previous ones on tiling, and recently tiled my entire bathroom with white metro tiles and black grout, i must admit the hardest part was getting a nice cut and fitting the tiles around the window as the old plaster was not even. Having said that my wife is very happy with our new bathroom, so i must have done ok. thank you for your videos!!

As usual with you Stuart, very professionally delivered tutorial, nicely lit, well paced and clear - if I didn't know better I'd say you have, apart from other skills, trained in teaching - very skilled presentation, very much like all your others. Fabulous, and thank you.

[williammcgeown]

Great, very helpful and really enjoy your passion towards tiling, will keep all of this in mind, thank you very much.

Your videos are normally excellent but this one is exceptional! Thank you. Minor comment is to remember to use your gauge strip both vertically as well as horizontally…

[Tradeinspector]

Another masterclass. Thank you Stuart for showing how to tile properly. Love your how to videos! 👍👍👍

Looks a stella job. You are an inspiration, good video as ever. The only thing I would suggest is to check your walls for being flat and vertical before applying adhesive to the wall, if they are not perfect you may want to dot and dab to the tile with the adhesive as opposed to putting on the wall to allow you to correct any minor issues in the walls. I am speaking from experience, stands out a mile in the corners if they don't run true.

I used an icing bag to groat my tiles. Worked brilliantly. Was a small kitchen.

Great video, Stuart. Tile layout is the key (not covered so much in this video) to a really great finish. Regarding grouting: it's really quite a complex mix of many chemicals. Tip tips: pay attention to the grout to water before you start otherwise you'll be adding powder, then water, then powder...to get the right consistency. As Stuart said, always powder to water, not the other way around. Give the bag a good shake before you add to the water as the heavier part of the mix may have fallen to the bottom in storage. Always mx on a slow speed! Like a centrifuge, if you mix on high speed, the heavier parts of the mix (setting agents, colours) will be thrown to the outside. A homogeneous mix is absolutely key here if you want colour consistency and good setting of grout.

Another thing to consider when buying is having spare tiles for future repairs, or for when you inevitably mess up a few cuts 😂

Fantastically clear and concise, genius video, thanks.
