Look for any cracks that need repair. The surface you are about to tile should be flat, so sand away any lumps and bumps at this stage. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe down the wall you will be tiling, and it&#8217;s a good idea to run some sugar soap over the space as well. Let the wall to dry completely before moving to the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 2: Priming<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Some tiles require you to prime the wall, and in wet areas, a specialist waterproofing product is a great idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Another element to consider is how much weight your wall can handle as tiles are quite heavy. If you need to strengthen the wall, you can use Hardiebacker boards to allow the wall to hold more weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26056\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26056\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26056\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/24055103\/wall-tiles-brown.jpeg\" alt=\"Brown wall tiles\" width=\"1080\" height=\"715\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/24055103\/wall-tiles-brown.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/24055103\/wall-tiles-brown-768x508.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26056\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"\/\/unsplash.com\/@acastillejos?utm_source=unsplash-chrome-extension&amp;utm_medium=referral\u201d\">Armando Castillejos<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 3: Preparing the tiles<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Measure the wall height and width then multiply the two measurements to find the metre-squared value. This will give you an idea of how many tiles you&#8217;ll need (although it is always good to have extra to account for breakage).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 4: Marking the wall<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Find your starting point by figuring out where the centre of the wall is. Mark it with a pencil, then use a tile as a measure to mark the width and length of the tiles to get an idea of where they will lay. Always aim to have at least half a tile at the very bottom of your wall, and rearrange your pattern if necessary to ensure this is the case.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Find the pencil mark that is closest to the floor and use a spirit level to draw a line horizontally across the wall. Fix a timber baton to the surface as a guide to tile up from.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 5: Preparing the adhesive<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your chosen adhesive will have instructions for how to mix it. If you are using small tiles, a pre-mixed adhesive will likely be ok. If you are using larger ones, a cement-based adhesive that you mix yourself will be needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mix the adhesive in a bucket according to the packet instructions and once mixed, apply the adhesive with a notched trowel. Hold the trowel at a 45-degree angle and spread the adhesive over the wall. Ensure an even coverage then make grooves in the adhesive in the same direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pro tip:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Only cover enough of the area that you can tile before the adhesive hardens. Aim for one square metre at a time.<\/span><\/div>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 6: Tiling the wall<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Push the first tile gently onto the wall, twisting to ensure it sticks. Use a tile spacer on each edge and wipe away the excess adhesive with a cloth. Continue this action with the rest of the tiles until you\u2019ve covered the whole area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When you reach the edges, you&#8217;ll likely have to cut some tiles into the right shape. You can do this with:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A manual cutter for straight cuts<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">An electric cutter for thick tiles, right angles or curved edges<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">A tile scribe for thin tiles<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 7: Drying time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Once you have secured the edge sections to the wall, wait for whatever amount of time the instructions for your adhesive state for drying times. When dry, remove the spacers and wipe away any excess adhesive.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 8: Prepare the grout<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mix some water and the grout powder in a bucket in a small amount as this will set quickly. Use a grout float to push the grout into the spaces between your tiles. Wipe away the excess grout with a damp sponge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After about an hour, you\u2019ll need to wipe the wall again to get rid of any residue. At this point, you can use a grout profiler to smoothen all of the grout lines. The key is to make sure the grout does not get to wet throughout these steps as it may weaken the finished grout.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 9: Sealing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The wall tiling process&#8217;s final step requires you to use a silicone sealant to seal the edges. This will ensure a watertight finish keeping your wall, tiles and grout safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Place the sealant in a caulking gun and squeeze it along the edges of the wall. You can also use a sealant profiler to take away any excess. If you just want to use your finger for this that is fine but make sure you are wearing gloves. Allow the sealant to dry for 24 hours before using the area or making it wet. At this point, you should be staring at a professionally tiled wall that you&#8217;ve done yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26058\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26058\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26058\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/24055102\/large-wall-tiles-1.jpeg\" alt=\"White wall tiles\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/24055102\/large-wall-tiles-1.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/24055102\/large-wall-tiles-1-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/24055102\/large-wall-tiles-1-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-26058\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"\/\/unsplash.com\/@mitchel3uo?utm_source=unsplash-chrome-extension&amp;utm_medium=referral\u201d\">Mitchell Luo<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Frequently asked questions<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Where do you start when tiling a wall?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can find your starting point by figuring out where the centre of the wall is.
