Repairs for some not very pleasant experience. The good news is that in the end would be clean and comfortable. When we started a repair in the bathroom and the toilet, it was decided that with the laying of tiles can not cope on their own. Most importantly - do not grasp the time.

Therefore, it was decided to hire employees. The total cost of repairs bath and toilet room with materials and work cost us 150,000 rubles. See the entire stage repair.

Today will talk about tilers tricks that we learned during repairs. 2 weeks was renovated: laid tiles, installed plumbing, ceilings and doors. So we share the secrets of repair.

Support

As a support for the first row you want to attach galvanized guide profile on the level. After you install the profile, you can lay the tiles. It is not necessary to soak the tiles before installing. After laying the tiles lift profile and continue laying.

tile Grout

To expedite the process, take the syringe and dial it grouting and fill the seam between the tiles. It is very convenient, easy and accurate. The seam is completely filled, then smoothed with a rubber spatula.

What happens after the installation of the tiles is a problem. The corners of tiles in "ring". That is, there is emptiness. If you come to this place, the tiles can cobble together. The problem is easily corrected by using the same syringe, tube and cocktail tape.

Instead, the tube can be used folded paper. Cooking liquid tile adhesive. In a syringe glue. Remove the grout in the tile corners. We fill the void in the corners tile adhesive via syringe.

The joints of tiles and slopes of a plastic window or door frame

Normal grout will not work. It will crack after some time or crumble. The plastic bag is not squeezing a lot of silicone and dry grout.

Mix directly into the polyethylene. Make a small hole in a corner and squeezing the syringe. Then clobbered in problem areas in the usual way. Silicone grout is stronger than usual.

Sealant instead tile adhesive

Sealant, in contrast to the tile adhesive dries faster, it has a beneficial effect on the repair time. The sealant is not necessary to plant as tile adhesive. It is only necessary to squeeze out on the tiles and glue on the base.

But to use silicone costs only in some cases. For example, you need to replace one tile to the new.

In order not to dilute the adhesive sealant can be used for individual items. All tile laying on the sealant is not recommended.
