    Setting out opinion wanted

    Hi. This is probably a no brainer for you guys but I'm unsure of the best way to set out 300x600 tiles in a shower room that's about 2370 square. I've attached a pic for your perusal. Would you go with the top set or the bottom set? (Or something else entirely?) The top set is with centralising...

    Second Opinion / Help on floor/wall tile method

    Electric shower -second opinion

    Hi all, Often when you work alone the Forum is the only place for a second opinion. See photo, customer does a bit of DIY himself and has said he can't get this shower off the wall prior to me tiling. I have suggested I get my own plumber to do it, but just so I'm not alone, would anybody ever...

    Your opinion needed! Job's a good 'un? Or not so much.

    Hi all! I've had an en-suite shower tiled by a builder who's done a major house renovation for us. I've been happy with the other work (plastering/electrics etc), but are hung up on the job done on this shower. I feel that it doesn't LOOK like the best tiling job, and beyond that it's had a...

    Opinion on this job please. Is this a satisfactory finish?

    My last post questioned a large extra charge for creating a diamond tile pattern. This morning I've had my first chance to look at the job properly and I would like your opinions please. I'm not happy with the failure to wrap the diamond pattern around the corners but that aside it looks...

    In your opinion who makes the best tiler nippers???

    I seem to finding my trusty Rubi nippers are not lasting very long, most of my cuts are wet sawn, but when tweaking i use the Rubi's, used to use Bal, but they were not a path on Rubi. Has anyone found another make they are impressed with?? Has anyone tried Karl Dahm?
