What you will need:

Disc cutter (either an angle grinder or a wet wheel table cutter)
Tile spacers
Notched trowel
Rubber grout float
Sponge
Read the instruction on the adhesive and grout packets before tiling.
1. Prepare the surface you are going to tile onto so it's sound and flat.
2. Plan the layout of your tiles and decide on a starting point.
3. Use adhesives appropriate to the surface you are tiling onto.
4. Decide on the spacing of the tiles, usually between 3 to 5mm.
5. Space tiles using spacers.
6. Apply adhesive to wall using a notched trowel. Add a knob of adhesive to the back of the tile.
7. Put the tile onto the wall using sufficient pressure so that the ridges left by the notched trowel are flattened.
8. Mix grout to a creamy consistency and press into the joints using a rubber grout float.
9. Sponge off excess grout before it fully sets.
