Adhesive, grout and trims

Jeditraining1

Hey all any idea where I could go to pick up the above where I don't have to take out a mortgage? (Adhesive, grout and trims) thanks in advance.

Any tile shop.
Rule of thumb is that if the tiles are really cheap then the other stuff will be more expensive.
Not a huge amount in it though.

Avoid the likes of Woodies.

Goodwins do a Larsen tile adhesive which gets good reviews from tilers when I was researching, it also happens to be pretty cheap

Get the type that suits ie fast set vs standard set, flexible vs ordinary and white vs grey and double check on the bag that it's in date.

They have trim and grout also but no idea as to reviews. Tilemaster Grout 3000 gets good reviews but haven't found a stockist for that handy.

Trim you'll have to get depending on the thickness of your tile. I bought tile in TileMerchants and also bought the trim there as it was competitively priced.

Get fast set of you know what your doing. And only then . Also mix small batches as it will go off quick and your might work slow.

Regular builders providers like Goodwins above are usually cheaper, and sometimes a lot cheaper than the tiles places. Some tile outlets get you in with offers on the tiles, but more than make up for it in the prices of adhesive and grout.
