Try using thinner. Use a cloth, dampen with thinner, then try wiping it off. I managed to wipe most stains but still left one stubborn one till now. Haha

OK bro... i never think about thinner .... i will try to apply in a small area

Tiles popping out due to lots of factor, major hollowness could be one of the factor..

I would suggest you to retile the hollow tile area if it is extensive.

If is just few pieces, you can actually repair it with some sort of filling grout..

Found this online, hope it helps.

Will the gloss porcelain tile gets damage if use Acid? Where can i buy the acid? Hardware Shop or any specific brand?

Bro i try use thinner but sadly the stain didn't go off

What about other brands?

pm more info

No it won't damage the tiles. Hardware shop can get. Make sure you use glove when using acid for cleaning

Sub sales have to consider nicely coz if last time tiling time no put susu then it might pop out after a few years.

Hi, I'm planning to buy materials for tiling myself since a lot of people say much cheaper this way and just hire contractor for labour. I did my calculation. I need to buy about 300pcs 2x2 and 200pcs 2x1 tiles. Other than cement and sand, what other material need to buy? And how many cement and sand and other material I need to buy? I don't want to be conned by the contractor. I heard some cases where the contractor asked to buy more than it should be and sell the extra material.

If I'm going to DIY hacking existing tiles, do I need to remove old cement as well? Or just the tiles is enough? How many layers are there usually?


Plus, is there any good tiling contractor doing job in Batu Caves/Gombak area? Thanks

Unless you know what you are doing, is totally not something you can DIY. PM me if you looking for good contractor. Some things are not meant to be save on cost but rather be safe on doing it properly

Dear forumers,

I wanna tile my 3 bedrooms with total size around 450 sqft.
A Chinese tiler quotes me RM10/sqft for removing wood floor, cement, labor, etc.
Tiles I will buy myself.

Is it reasonable?

just curious. for new house or currently staying?

Currently staying

Not recommended for DIY bro.
Hacking of tiles is not as simple as your think.
It will require drilling and you might injured yourself with the debris flying around.

Since you hiring contractor for labour then you might give them the hacking and tiling job together.
You can buy the tiles for them to use.
You can basically calculate the area size needed for tiling and just inform the tiles shop.
They can do calculation of amount of tiles required.

Anyone here can recommend where to buy those pattern tiles? In Subang/PJ/Puchong area. Thanks

Try Kong Mee at Puchong

Thanks Milo.. but they are more to selling electrical appliance?
