Deciding to do your own tiling can save you plenty, but make sure you have basic DIY skills, the time, and the confidence before you start.

If you have a difficult area to tile, it may be better to employ a professional tiler. Please contact your local TILE CITY store if you would like us to recommend a tiler.

Tiles can be laid over almost any level, firm, and structurally sound surface. As long as the correct adhesive is used.

Surface preparation is vital. The surface to be tiled must be as even as possible, free from contaminants such as oil, grease, soap, and dust. Davco Ultraprime should be used on porous surfaces.

If you wish to tile over vinyl tiles, previously painted surfaces, or old carpet adhesive, Davco Ultrabond should be applied before tiling.
