Where's the best place to buy adhesive and grout and how much should it cost to do about 18 square yards? Thanks

Depends on the type of tile and the type and quality of the surface.

e.g. I recently did 20 yards of wall tiles. Some parts of the wall were not great so I ended up using 4 drums of Woodies own brand adhesive @ approx €13.99 each

I did 6 yards of floor tiles on marine ply and just used 1 tub of Unibond Adhesive specifically for wooden floors @ approx €24. This is adhesive and grout combined.

Hope this helps.

If you are grouting in a bathroom splash out (sorry) on the expensive grout thats guaranteed not to discolour/mildew/go mouldy. It works and its worth it.
