What we all working on this week ?

king of pipes · Oct 31, 2019

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

I’m confused by the change in tile size after the bottom row?

Two different tiles. Bigger tile in shower area above bath and a border of that around room. Then fill in the bits with the smaller ones.

No mate it a aluminium trim with rubber inserts just to aid the water to drain away

Used a mapie tanking kit H comes with instructions simply prime the area , apply tanking liquid, fit the waterproof membrane tape, paint over the edges of the membrane and up the wall, I will then tile the floor and add the bottom row of tile. 👍

Been a long week chaps I've done to much feeling burnt out the old body is aching knees are shot 🥴🥴 done loads of making good and tiling on that old cottage bathroom , this gas run totally replaced nearly a 30 m run all all swapped over and tested and made good , a kitchen sink, washing machine, and gas hob this afternoon into a 20mm quartz worktop that was fun clips were for a 40 mm the fitter didn't allow for fixing it down probably thought it would get stuck down 7 pm on a Saturday finally got in the van, then had to do the shopping for us and my elderly neighbour 8.40 pm walked through my front door.

You got it Shaun 😭 the thickness is the real problem don't think there's one the same and bent like a banana 🤣 is what it is I guess nothing a grinder can't sort out will put the worst ones aside for replacement. Cheers kop

ShaunCorbs · Jul 2, 2021

Brick bond them would be the only option as for height

good luck and remember to use a 10mm bed then you can level them

king of pipes · Jul 3, 2021

Wouldn't look right on a 300 mm square tile Shaun but I know what your saying bud , I am putting a bed down and back buttering each tile to help level them and using a tile leveling wedge system ball ache but it needs doing won't be perfect but its the rustic cottage look . Regards kop 👍

king of pipes · Jul 5, 2021
