I'd say we all want to live in that lovely house we passed whilst on the way to go brambling with a jam jar in our hand and high hopes of a good day. Maybe it was the gates, or the gravel driveway that appealed, and it even had stone pillers and Georgian windows . And I'd wait and stare, and wait and stare curious about who lived there and hoping they'd drive out allowing me a quick glimpse of another world. Them. Then I'd feel ashamed stood there in my jumble-sale-new clothes, bothered that perhaps someone might come out and ask me what was I doing. I learnt it was a very rich person home, a shipbuilder who owned a shipping fleet and I wanted to copy him, if he could do it- then so could I. So that man and that lovely house blighted my life for the best, and it still does. I love this house and stop outside it whenever I pass by. I'm heart broken, and I'm a big strong man and big strong men are not allowed to cry. That adopted house is my comfort blanket, my home, and I go to sleep and it becomes mine.This is my lounge, this my garden, this gate is mine, and please come in when you go brambling. Don't walk on by, share it with me, you can adopt upstairs or the fireplaces, or ceiling coving and florals, I won't mind.

can you stick tiles on tiles for a quick update?
Q
Comments (6)
The quick answer is yes you can however there are limitations and other considerations before you should go ahead. 1. Are the existing tiles bonded well? (If not remove them) 2. If the tiles are well stuck you must consider the additional weight of the new tiles. The weakest link in this method will be the bond of the old tiles to the wall. You must adhere to the safe tiling weights, you can find more info at tiles.org 3. If you are going ahead with tile on tile make sure you use the correct adhesive. A cement based adhesive needs to be used and you should use a grippy primer or apply a slurry coat to the existing tiles before you begin. Do not use a ready mixed dispersion adhesive as this relies on one surface having a certain level of absorbency. Consider using ceramics as they are lighter weight and there are also lightweight adhesives on the market. See Tilemaster.co.uk. There are also thin porcelain tiles available starting at 3mm which are a great alternative. If you follow these guidelines you'll be fine. Good luck

Q

1.. Did you go through a showroom for design and install? no. 2. How did you first approach the project?? Did you go to multiple showrooms and outlets to look get a scope of the market or maybe look online? I copied a hotel bathroom I had liked as well as a picture from Houzz 2. Did you measure the bathroom yourself? No. If no, would you be confident in measuring your bathroom yourself? No 3. Had you heard of any bathroom manufacturers or companies before you started research to do your own bathroom? No 4. Did you need a lot of help on the layout and design and bathroom? The builders planned it 5. If you were guaranteed by hundreds of customers that the quality was excellent + the manufacturers own guarantee would you still want to touch, feel and see the product before buying it - if you were supplied images like the images at the bottom?? See proposed vs real Would go with reviews 6. What do you wish you had / hadn't done? Happy with it as it is, though wish I'd got my own tiler and not used the builder's 7. What do you love about your bathroom? The big bath, the power shower, the space 8. The first 2 images below are renders, which would you find easier to use to decide, the images below or a panoramic images found here - https://www.desiign.co.uk/visualise-desiign 8. Did you ever feel under pressure and unsure where to turn during the process? Pressured to buy in one store. As the market is so broad a lot of people are sceptical due to the different price points? 9. Did you go over budget? No 10. Lastly, overall, are you happy with the end result baring in mind the journey as well? Any other words also put here! Delighted with it.
