  • After some pondering, I've decided I'm going to try and stick back (after trimming) some of the tiles I removed from next to the window (the narrow strip on the left where half are missing).

    The stuff behind it is pretty crumbly and uneven (which is why they all came off in the first place). Any suggestions on the best way to reattach the tiles? Cheers

  • Looks like lime mortar to me could be mortar or lime plaster I would leave in place and give it a few coats of Unibond or similar PVA mixture to bond it together then retile

  • Cheers, it's a late victorian house so that seems a distinct possibility. I'll give that a try. Any suggestions on how much to water Unibond down by, the internet appears to have wildly differing views.
