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 ..

Got a chance to do some pictures this morning (finished this project august 2011). Master bathroom: 400x400x20 limestone on floor, 600x600x10 porelain on walls (mitre wizz external corners). templated and fitted limestone bath top and splash backs, dark emperador vanity tops. Other shower rooms tiled with 600x600 porcelain tiles. Living area: Calacatta oro fire place: made cutting sheet (my brother and my Ukrainian friend fitted). Kitchen/patio area: 950x560x20 blue jura stone( all tiles cut to size on site from 1000x600). And finaly outside columns manualy fitted (30mm and 40mm portland stone)

Oh yeh, all stone from STONE AGE,

Guys as a DIY'er I joined here a few months ago, it's been a real pleasure looking at your work and admiring your workmanship, I'd done a couple of cheapo Flat refurbs but you lot inspired me to have a crack at my own bathroom, I was nervous of cutting 900mm tiles but bought a big Montolit cutter from Tradetiler, (really helpful people), and they were a doddle! fabulous cutter, I was tempted to post on Sir Ramics Sigma love in thread! all the tiles were Porcelanosa and I used Benflex adhesive for the wall tiles.

So, mistakes.. well working with fast setting adhesive for the floor made me rush, plus I got the bloody stuff everywhere! definitely didn't spend enough time planning the niches and how their positioning would affect tile layout, and it was only towards the end that I realised trowel handles sit over the edge of a bucket and save them disappearing into the addy!

I'm about to attempt to extend an existing slate kitchen floor, I'll let you know how that goes but in the meantime a big thank you for answering my questions and for the wealth of knowledge and expertise on this site, really grateful to you guys for sharing that.

Hi Guys !

[Qwerty]

Thankyou Tresco & Furtek

Furtek...... how did you get the watermarks onto your images? Curious as have found some of my work advertised as somebody elses locally :mad2:

 

[Furtek]

Blocko that is really bad, people just don't care right now, so sad 🙁

follow up to last pool posted by me .
this is the only pool i can remember tiling the inside of.
private residence surrey
pool company were supposed to do it but didnt fancy these morrocan habibi mosaics.
fixed them as no one seemed to want to do it.
very sizey and there was a scroll border just under water line that came in thousands of tiny interlocking pieces.
infinity pool with an original edge detail .
we tiled steam room with tiles reclaimed from the clients previous house.
handmade spanish crackle tiles from paris ceramics.
we were short of tiles to do the whole room but i had some rectangles and other square field tiles bigger size to original so made a pattern up of sorts .
We had to fudge the columns as you will see if look closely as they were originally higher than new room being tiled in.
these tiles seem to have gone out of fashion, but i really like them. they are always very sizey and vary alot in thickness so have to bed each one individually.

 

[rainsco]

timeless and classic. i like the edge detail of the pool. its a design everyone want to touch it.

this is the second phase of the antique terracotta job previously posted in this thread.
this time laid on diagonal with border .
first phase has been grouted with 2 parts white cement/ one part grey , and by proportion 1:4 with washed westerham plastering sand.
we are now covering floor with breathable building felt and will return for first seal/ grout and final seal beginning of september.
this t/c needs a few weeks anyway to dry and will let other trades in to do plastering and decorataion.
i utilised the variance of tile size which was up to 10mm to try and get full looking tiles round whole border.
we were only looking on laying about 4 sq mts a day when factoring in time spent grading sizes and percentage proportions .
it was nice to get one of these after a long while. i did masses of these reclaimed terracotta floors up until 10 years ago. got more coming up so it seems t/c may be back in !!!
I even brought out the old sigma 10m for the job.shes been in retirement for some years now working her way in to the undergrowth down at the farm .just right for this type of job.
i have the little brother as well and they dont come out much now but they are still a good workhorse.
very nice batch of reclaimed from lapicida.

 

[Andy Allen]

nice work jonny, looks like it was a pig to work with...

 

[Tony73]

very nice jonnyc

 

[Qwerty]

Nice work jonny.......... looks like a right pain, but nice end result

I cringe everytime I see hands so close to an open angle-grinder blade (I do it all the time too and dont even think about it when Im in control! :lol: )

 

[jonnyc]

I agree. I would not be so worried about hands but I do give my employees guard ,googles and the rest ,but it's their choice if they choose to not use safety gear I supply.

finished the shower today i posted long time ago. i had a big problem with pci nanofug basalt grout. the customer choosed the color on diffrent sample plates (ardex, sopro and pci). but then the colour was very diffrent from dark to bright but not the color he had selected. i know all the things why this can happend but i have done my best. then the Silicon was much brighter. so pci send me a gout renovation. it worked and was very easy to use. i hope it withstands.
in two weeks i has again two bathrooms with the same 100x100 tiles. when this is future, i need a bigger van.

 

[Tony73]

looks realy good rainsco

The quality of your work is amazing but these images look like CAD or photoshopped images or perhaps you use a light filter on your camera?

 

[rainsco]

yes, the pics are all edited with gimp (freeware). the picture above is out of box. i strech the lines, paint the unfinished areas, brighten areas and delete the waterspottings from the Silicon. not very professional but i made the pics for the following customers and i think they look better with editing.
i hope i can come again and shot better pics when the painter finished and the mirror, glasspartition and light is mounted. if not, i edit this ones better.

 

[rainsco]

bathroom renovation for a tenant occiopied house. i worked up 15 x 30kg plaster in third level of house.



the cad´s



i use rails on the wall corners because i think it is better for the following glass door fitting.




heres a floor i do at the moment. the screed was cracked a lot. i deside to use no ditra or something.
i tile it in middle bed direct on the old screed. i like it more instead of using leveling compound.

 

[jonnyc]

more great work from you rainsco. you never fail to deliver the real class work.
out of interest why did you decide not to use ditra mat or similar over cracked subfloor?
had you repaired cracks well enough that you thought it not necessary.what it as pecial resin bond filler.
if so can you tell us what product you used.i often have to take up tiles over cracked screeds and usually use pecilastic and rubber crumb adhesive over crack.
although i dont guarantee this , it usually works

 

[Tony73]

As jonnyc said, i would do SLC and Ditra. But very nice finish

 

[rainsco]

what ist SLC? i use pci apogel and big torx screws to nail up.

the corridor leads to a stair and diffrent rooms and to much hight in the construction is not possible. ditra is not cheap too. but yes, ditra would be the best joice i think.
next time`maby i try to use some other thinner glass texture mats. ardex had one i see. but on this situations there is never a warrenty from the manufacturer, i think.

 

[Tony73]

self levelling compound, as your floor is a bit rough

 

[rainsco]

cool job i started today. mondrian (bauhaus) inspired toilet room.
i settle the walls very accurate with ardex x32. and lift the level of the screed with wedi plates arround and ardex AM100 with sand in middle.

i put the mosaik on a floor i made days before. 120x60 black tiles. the cad print helped me and the lady of the house to arrange the colors.

paper sticked mosaik. i unstick it straight after laying to correct the joints. i use ardex X7W to have time to correkt.

i will groat the tiles in the same color. kiesel produces such groat.

the cad. the lady of the house decides spontaneous if we change color fields. i tell her we have to respect the designer but small changes are ok for me 🙂

 

[Spud]

thats a cool wc rainsco ,I have used kiesel grout but only in grey ,you should enter this job for jotm

 

[DHTiling]

You wouldn't wanna go in there with a hangover.. :lol:

 

[rainsco]

now i´m waiting for the diffrent grout colors...

 

[DHTiling]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

[bugs183]

Great work Rainsco!
I'm glad it's not my loo, way too many colours for my head to deal with today, after a double birthday boozeup!

Great work there Tony! Love the fact they've got all this expensive marble and fittings and then you see the Palmolive shower gel, :yikes: I would've expected Gucci minimum, haha.
