Description
Cover straight over the tile, without ripping anything out.
It is the reason most people find flexible stone in the first place: an old bathroom, tile nobody likes any more, and no appetite for living in a building site for three weeks. It can be done — as long as the tile is properly prepared. This kit carries what that takes, and the guide explains the step almost everyone skips.
What is inside
- Joint grout, 250 g — in the colour you choose
- Neutral-cure silicone, 310 ml — for corners and junctions
- Bonding primer, 1 kg
- Abrasive mesh — to kill the glaze
- Printed installation guide
The step that decides everything
Tile is made to absorb nothing. Apply the primer over a shiny glaze and it will not grip — and the stone comes away months later.
Sand it back with the abrasive mesh until the shine is gone, clear the dust, and only then prime. It takes ten minutes and it is the difference between a job that lasts and one that comes back.
One honest warning: if any tiles are loose or sound hollow, they have to come off first. Flexible stone will not fix a tile that was already letting go.
What is not in the kit
Tile adhesive. Most people already have some, or buy it at the builders merchant round the corner. If you do not have any, add it to your order.
Waterproofing, if this is a shower or an area that takes water directly. Waterproofing goes on before the stone is bonded — the stone on its own does not waterproof a wall.
Tools. Sold separately because you buy them once and they last.
