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 ..:thumbsup::thumbsup:

here is a video of a job I recently completed using 1200x600 4,8mm porcelain tiles, the total area was 220m2 and there were only 16m2 that were not a cut tile , all tiles were cut on site using a sigma 3em, the concrete stairs were badly cast and i had to rectify every flight so the steps were even ,the step treads have schluter treppe s trim and the skirting are finshed with genesis square edge trim ,shluter expansion joints were used ,i hope you like it

Distressed english bathstone.

Here is a job that finished last month .
Did the entry hall 8 months ago.
Second phase just recently completed.
600 x random length x 25mm thick.
This is beautiful stone but needs about a month to dry before can seal and when you do it drinks the stainstop up. Approx 3.00 sq mts per litre .
Finished with two coats classic wax and buff.

Re: Distressed english bathstone.

this is outrageous.
way over the top but i love it.
what are gold leaf tiles really made of.
this type of work is really in at the moment . I have always avoided it but i am about to bite the bullet with a new big player in town as I believe this work is the future when the euro collapses at end of year. our european neigbourly friends are already investing heavily in the very high end in london and this is what they want.

sorry forgot to mention that although marble has never been out it is definteley in now in on the london design scene.
this is why i am gearing up to get back in to central london.
i have been out for last 10 years and had an easy ride.
time to get back amongst it in the smoke.
I predicted granite tiles would be in by now based on what was in vogue in japan and United states couple of years back.
doesnt seem to have happened though.
luckily for us marble/stone fixers we will only have to change our saw blades not our fixing method .
its all got to be class work.
strangely I am seeing a small resurgence in antique terracotta which was my speciality 10-15 years ago.

the gold leaf tiles are just 600x300 x10 glass with gold leaf on the back grouted with litokol gold glitter epoxy grout,

Re: Distressed english bathstone.

not sure which factory they are from Rob as the customer sourced them I believe they were from Porcelain tiles ltd finchley road london

I think they are Dune Pan de Oro

It's funny as I was looking through some old posts earlier today and saw a link from 365drills to that pocelain tiles and the third picture that comes up on their home page was that job you did ;) Porcelain Tiles | Floor and Wall Tiles | Porcelain Tiles Ltd

Okay I know this isn't tiling but thought I would show you a restoration job we did. The tiler had laid it pretty well but then had a grout haze problem then removed it with Acid School boy so we de-lipped the floor, re-honed it and polishe it. We now have a great relasionship with this tiler who sells our service on top of his tiling, So essentially he lays the floor then grouts it (no clean of) leaves it for three weeks then we follow doing our thing by grinding the floor perfectly flat and refinishing the stone.

Great job charlie....you going to put it up for JOTM?
Liked FURTEKS except I thought the shower curtain ruined it a bit.
Thanks!
Yes, A lot of people draws attention to the curtain. Unfortunately, the shower is for people with disabilities. This work was for a private client. Most of my bathrooms, performs for the Council, So I use the same products as usual.

Here is a stone floor that i laid five years ago.
I went back last week to repair the terrace that had frost damage, not caused by bad fixing.
Whilst there i stuck my head in kitchen to see how the stone floor inside was doing after 5 years .
What a joy to see that it looks almost like new.
I asked client how she keeps it so pristine and she only says that she washes once a week with easycare but has a special door mat that takes dirt off shoes when entering house.
Sorry forgot its name already, but considering family wear shoes in house this floor looks unbelievable.
I am not talking about the fixing .
I normally send letters to my previous clients every two or three years offering a cleaning and reseal process, and have one client with this floor that needs it done twice a year, beecause it has gone very dark.
Just goes to show that careful maintenance makes a stone floor a covering for life.
Stone info:
Aged farringdon english limestone :aged and distressed .400/500/600 x random lenghts.
Martin moore stone:
80.00 sq mts actual area.
Dukkaboard/ ekecetric heat mats .
3 coats stainstop and french hard wax applied and buffed .
I really think the wax has protected the floor .
