Nice.
But could have got somebody to do it for the price of that
We were being quoted 8k plus for the job.
it will be available for purchase after I am done with it.
It is going to be an epic father and x2 sons project...
There will be an alcove in the shower area which we want to try to mitre, what resin would you guys recommend to fill the join, so that I can sand and polish the joint later?

Many thanks, Waluigi, my tiles which I will be mitring will be dark grey and bronze, would you know which colours from the polysoft corresponds to the colours I need?

Sorry I have no idea. I’m no expert at mitring or resin but have used it
you can buy the colouring paste too to mix up to get the desired Hue
Akemi® Colouring Paste (Polyester) - 30ml - https://apexdirectuk.co.uk/akemi-colouring-paste-polyester-30ml?search=Akemi%20
From memory Akemi suggest a hardener percentage of between 1% to 3% vs the filler. I used a scale that was capable of measuring very small weights to measure it out but I don’t think it’s essential.

I’m not entirely sure. I’d imagine that epoxy would be a whole world more complicated to work with but I might be wrong.
To an extent, polysoft is easy to work with, to shape, to cut, to sand, to polish and clean.
I don’t think epoxy would behave in the same way.

Fair play to you having a go! I hope you pull it off, and enjoy doing it. If you want any advice - well you're in the right place.
