1
First of all, we need to be needed to solve the problem:

  • Tile;
  • Glue solution;
  • Drill with a nozzle;
  • Capacity for stirring;
  • Spatula gear;
  • Hammer;
  • Chisel;
  • Plumb;
  • Rubber spatula;
  • Construction level;
  • Grout for seams;
  • Slab.

2
We make a scheme, plan or drawing - to whom more convenient. At this stage, it is necessary to calculate the amount of tiles and a mixture for it, think over the installation options for plumbing devices and the design of the bathroom as a whole. Then buy materials in the required quantity.

3
We make surface preparation - we get rid of (if required) from served plumbing. Next, using a chisel and a hammer, beat the old tile. We estimate the state of the layer of plaster, check the wall with a mold. In case of detection of defects, they will have to be eliminated by plastering. Surfaces in front of tiled works are necessarily ground with compositions for high humidity.

Tile glue is prepared immediately before work and in small quantities. To do this, in the container with water, we gradually pour the powder and stirrate the mixer until the consistency of thick sour cream is achieved. We leave to lavage (3-5 minutes), then mix again - until the lumps of lumps.

First, align with a level and fix the starting rail at the bottom of the wall. The distance from the floor is calculated, based on the number of rows of a whole tile from the ceiling. Thus, the cutting parts will be from below, where they will be noticeable less. The solution is superimposed by a toothed spatula, the value of the tooth of which depends on the weight of the tile. On the wall, the tile is slightly pressed to remove emptiness, aligned horizontally and vertical. Between adjacent tiles are inserted "crosses" to perform seams of the same width.

6
Cutting pieces of tiles of the desired size produce a stovetur, and the rounded holes are drilled with a special nozzle. After filling the wall to the ceiling, the rail is removed and the lowest row is put on. The seams are filled with grout, applying a rubber spatula. After its drying, the surplus is removed with a sponge, moistened with water.

All tile laying technology can be called quite accessible to their own hands. This only requires accuracy and progress. The result will be a significant savings and self-esteem with each visit to the bathroom.
