1st Job pics after 2 weeks NETT Course

[george1319]

Here's some pics from my first tiling job after I completed my 2 weeks course at NETT(UK Trades). Stripped everything back to stud partitions and re-sheeted with water resistand gyproc.
This was primed with BAL SBR primer and the shower walls were tanked using BAL Waterproofing kit.
Used cement bagged adhesive with 8mm trowel and then used BAL ivory grout.
I had never tiled in my life before my course and it is the in-laws bathroom and was a 'thank you' job to give me some practice...I even managed a 3 way mitre
Would like to hear the feedback from you more experienced tilers on here if you would have done anything different....setting out,materials used etc.

nice job mate, i'm sure you'll have learnt some things already on your first job that no training centre will teach you. could the plumber not have fitted a shower mixer bar there instead of the electric shower/ one of my pet hates that lol. keep up the good work

Thanks for the kind comments guys...Mike I learned loads on this job which I can put into practice in future and I tried to talk them into a shower mixer but they insisted on electric!...Paul, I didn't think they'd notice that!!

Looks like you did well..

Electric showers are fine,at least you have washing facilities if the boiler breaks down.. 🙂..thermostatic showers are great if you have an en-suite as well.. so thermostatic in one room and electric in another.. each to their own and takes nothing away from your first job..

Well done George, onward and upward for you then 🙂
