[essbee]

Great and good of NSC

The steps of our house have those red brick tile things on the steps
which have come loose and now need to be stuck back
on with cement (you can see how practical I am!!)

Any tips on preparation and application - and doing the job
well.

cheers muchly

I would just buy a bag of readymix down B&Q.

Probably about a tenner and no mess or clearing up afterwards.

Hack off old cement/adhesive and re-bed using a adhesive that you will get from any tiling shop. (Its like a fine mortar mix) They,ll tell you which one. Don't use sand and cement because it won't last and you,ll be wasting your time.

Almost impossible to do without removing the whole surface and starting again. Whatever you secure them down with will make them stick up above the level of the surrounding tiles.

All the above advice is excellent

You should really consult with the NSC resident DIY expert, I am sure if you PM him he will tell you exactly what and how to do it!

Bozza is renowned, world wide for his DIY tips and skills, well worth asking
