How to Tile Walls Easily

Prepare for tiling

Remove any existing tiles, clean the walls and measure the spaces you need to tile. You might also need to fill in any cracks.

Buy extra tiles

The golden rule is to ensure that you have more tiles than you think you need. Tiles can break when being cut, so spares are essential.

Apply adhesive

Place adhesive directly on the wall you want to tile and then cut grooves into it to help the tiles to stick.

Begin tiling

Start tiling from the corner, pushing the tiles firmly into the adhesive and placing plastic spacers between tiles.

Apply grout

Fill the spaces between the tiles with grout, and then rub over the tiles with a sponge to remove excess grouting.
