Show Us YOUR Work Thread - Tilers Pictures

Edit May 2024: THIS is a New Show Us Your Work Thread for 2024 Onwards

This is the new Tilers Showcase Forum where we want new tiling work added, with each tiling job you complete having a thread of its own so people can see what kind of work you do, and potential customers can find your work

---

I thought it was about time we had a thread dedicated to all members of Tilers forums to show us any work that they do.

Be it from installing a kitchen to garden decking. Show us your work! Get those pictures taken, but then do something with them! Actually add them to a thread and some facebook groups with your website link in them etc and it'll help spread the tile love.

If you have done a job then please do share it with us.

Pics are a MUST as what is the point of sharing a job without them..:smilewinkgrin:.

So if you do a job and you take a few pics then please do share it with us.

Lets make it a big thread for all to view and input in.

Thanks Dave ..

if you click the 'go advanced tab below right of the reply box then scroll down and you'll see manage attatchments, you can then upload your pics from ur pc to there. you may have to shrink them if they're too big

My first bathroom which I had to plasterboard the walls and ceiling.then tile.
Any comments on the setting out and the fixing would be appreciated. All comments taken on board so any criticism is welcome as well.

 

[Gazzer]

Did you tile around the shower unit ?

 

[Fusion Tiling]

My first two kitchens

 

[Gazzer]

Lose the first photo, its blurred. Whats with the enormous joint around the worktops ? Also you need to silicone your internal angles.

 

[Fusion Tiling]

Hi
Yes I had to go round the unit instead of going behind it due to the water supply pipe not allowing the unit to come forward.

Thanks for looking

 

[Fusion Tiling]

Thanks again and again for the advice. Sorry it took a while to reply but I have only just worked out how to find my post

 

[Mike]

nice work but first thing i noticed was the shower been tiled round. they don't last long and it looks a big unit, there'll be a big gap there when a new smaller one is fitted in a year or two. also it looks a lot better if you go round a corner with a size of a full tile, i.e. half one side half the other or 3/4 and a 1/4. not slating you mate, just constructive critisism like you asked.

 

[Fusion Tiling]

Thanks mike.
I will remember that info. The shower unit water feed pipe was too short to bring the unit away from the wall, hence the reason I cut round it. I will bare it in mind on my next bathroom . Thanks for taking the time to comment cheers paul

ok,i remember taking these on my 1990 mobile camera phone,you know the one,where you had to carry the battery on your back:yikes:.

is there any way to make them bigger? i did take them on my mobile and sent them to my email,thought i was being well clever:smilewinkgrin:

 

[DHTiling]

Did you resize them..?

 

[widler]

Pics of a bathroom sash window that I draught proofed and completed some renovation/repair work on. I really enjoy working in old buildings and this is one of the most enjoyable jobs (apart from tiling ofcourse:lol

Work included,

removing sash both sashes from frame

Burn back paint on frame to bare wood

remove paint from face of sashes

tighten mortise and tennon joints on sashes

remove two panes of glass from top sash and reglaze with 4mm glass

Prime bare timber on sashes

rerope sashes and reinstate into the frame

install new brass ironmongery

Sash windows, parton beads and staff rod (batton rod in Scotland) had a groove routered into them in order to insert a brush pile to draught proof the windows. This helped to reduce noise, rattling and most importantly cold air. The windows now slide up and down with ease.

Windows will be finished of by painter.

Oh, nice one, I can relate, had to do that on a Cornish Cottage just make really sure that painter doesn't paint them all shut!!!

 

[tfs]

windows also had simplex system installed to allow bottom sash to open inward, this is also know as easy clean as it allows the home owner to maintain outer windows much easier.

 

[widler]

right here we go again.
1st and 3rd are granite,he paid £100 m2 to import them from italy,mad i tell you.

2nd and 4th are westland green riven slate in a orange house,the floor was that far out of level i had to use 28 bags of self level over 30m2. it dipped down at each point from the centre,the builder who did the footings and base said it was out of level because the kingspan sucks the goodness out of the concrete and shrinks it:yikes:

sorry not the best of photos,maybe i made them to large

Dont worry, I would be the first to kick up a fuss if this happened
