Nice work. I would have had a joint in the centre of the shower, to save the cut at the left.

I really wanted the pattern centered up the shower, I set out a few ideas, the misses liked this one. What can you do.... lol.

Cuts are not bad, the tile cuts really straight on my rubi. And when i PB'd and skimmed made sure all straight and true.

All seems a bit backwards to me, maybe ask for advice before going ahead?

I would have not wasted time skimming, I would have tanked the walls down to the floor, and tanked the floor if that's what you want, then put the tray In and siliconed it.
The tiling looks ok although the the back wall would have been better centralised.

Have you plastered ontop of tanking?

I did tank the walls and floor and put tray in with silicon.

I kow the wall normally would have been centralise, but I wanted the pattern centralised up the shower, just personal preference for this room and that's how it worked out.

As for skimming, it's always best practise to skim a bare wall if using plasterboard no matter what the purpose is, if I was using heavy tiles it would have been backer board instead without skimming. This advise is from my father in law who was a 50+ year retired general builder who has installed 1000''s of bathrooms, so I will happily take that advise.

I welcome your comments though....

Fair enough, I've nothing against plastering and tiling on it. Plastering over tanking tho?
