This is the most simple explained video I’ve seen on laying tiles. This is all beginners are asking for. They don’t need people showing off on how well they lay tile. Well done!

Funny how a lot of the pros and know it alls are on here watching a video titled "How to Tile a Bathroom Floor with Wickes ". This kind of job would be sufficient for any DIYer. So instead of being arm chair critics, you are more than welcome to post a video yourself on how it should be done correctly.

I've been tiling professionally for 15 years. I could cry watching this! Tears of laughter mixed with pain, embarrassment, awkwardness, horror, disbelief and grief!

THANK YOU THANKYOU......finally a tutorial that is not sped up 100 times that you cannot see how to do this. Very appreciative of your detailed and informative explanation.

A big Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge of tiling for free to anyone.

Love the video....I learn 1 step at the time....easy to understand...

Thank you! I've been looking for a method of shaping tiles around my toilet so I can redo my bathroom floor and most tutorials just discuss shaping around the flange, but I'm not removing my toilet for this project because I'm doing vinyl tiles over the preexisting ceramic ones, so none of them were that helpful! This method is so clever, I feel so silly I'd never have thought it up myself.

Just checked my calendar I though it was April 1 st ?? Shocking !!!

This is the funniest thing I have seen in ages. You have a promising career ahead in comedy producing video like this. People haven't laid tiles raw onto a timber substrate since the 80s....

Some great methods shown here! Thank You!

I've got one tip to add. When using the notched spreader, make sure to make the lines in one direction, instead of swirling as it is done here. The way it is done here, air will get trapped in areas in the middle. This can later on cause the tiles to loosen. When the lines created by the spreader all go in one direction, air can escape from the middle all the way out to the sides as you press the tile down, and this helps the tile stay in place in the future.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Wish you all the best in your life.

neat clean work

One of the best demonstrations of tiling. Thanks so much

From experience I'd never lay tiles on plywood floor, even with primer. It's susceptible to movement in the future causing the grout to crack and lift. It's best to use a fibre cement board like hardie backer.

good job

I have noticed many techniques that I have learned through youtube that they are not best practice: - mortar or adhesive should be troweled in straight lines so as to allow air to escape. - tiles should be pushed back and forth so as to collapse the ridges made by the trowel achieving a better bond. - using plastic silicone profilers is better than using tape.

great job thanks alot

Using a toothed spreader you should spread the adhesive to form straight lines. Waving it round randomly like an artex pattern forms sealed channels of air underneath the tile. Straight channels allow air to escape from underneath the tile making it much easier to level. There is a video on here of a guy laying glass tiles to illustrate this.

I use the York store and have always found it to be a pleasant experience. They always have the stock I need and I find the Wickes own-branded tools to be of good quality and durable. The staff have always been helpful and approachable. Sadly I have found out this week that the senior management of this company hates its customers, considers us bigots and would rather us not buy from their stores. They have tried some furious backpedaling by saying that the remarks of their Chief Operations Officer Fraser Longden were taken “out of context”. Don’t you dare try to gaslight us with your weasel words. We know exactly what low opinion you have of us as your customers. All Fraser Longden did was say the quiet part out loud. We have received your message and will now act (by taking our custom elsewhere) accordingly.

Good job do you just use flexible adhesive on wood and wood you need glue on the wood to stop adhesive drying out

Learning alot

Thanks for your good video..

Good tops sir

when is it needed to back butter? I watched some videos where some guys are doing the back butter and some are not. Thanks!

always spread you adhesive you straight line this prevents air pockets which can cause tiles to crack!

Awesome video learnt loads and will definately given me confidence to try My self first befire hiring.

Not sure if anyone noticed, but although there was plenty of people saying don't tile around the toilet, the tiles actually change from 9:50 to 11:24 . The grout line was in the centre of the toilet, then it was down the left hand side??

I was using sarcasm about the ceiling tiles. Yes I know most homes in the west have wood floors. In the states it's plywood. That said, WE ALWAYS TILE UNDER THE TOILET TO THE PIPE. The mounting flange goes OVER the tile. . However, we also put a 3/4 " wire reinforced mortar bed down first. You never tile directly to wood, NEVER. I also know its a product promo but its wrong and should be ridiculed.

How long does this take? What if we want to remove old tiles and put in new ones, how to remove old tiles and how long will that take?

and non-sanded grout for 1/8" joint line?

is that base floor made of flywood?

Will unglazed ceramic tiles deteriorate due to running water from faucet if installed in bathroom floor?
