I am only free until the weekend so I have tmoz and fri spare that is all I can do may be able to sort someone to look after the kids on sat but the missus is working all weekend but that time should be sufficient to just get it finished so the plumber can come in... this sites done a lot for me so helping you is a way to pay it back a little I guess

its amazing what speaking to trading standards and contacting her re this and telling her to ring them can do.
shes actually offered tonight to give me £100 to get someone to remove the tiles and, asked me for original receipts of all materials and is going to re order and send them too me next wk, but no mention of underfloor heating so im hoping that's not damaged removing tiles , that's a good result, im still out of pocket a bit but at least I should get my bathroom done to correct standard now

oh I agree with u there, ive asked her to email me proof of purchase , I got them online walls and floors , she said going to sort it tomorrow, so should I get her to change from pre mix adhesive I got to bagged stuff then , as someone said its not suitable for bigger tiles ?
I really appreciate all your help guys and thx a lot mr tea bag for that lovely offer, I might still need u yet if she starts backing out of it 2 moz lol

lol no problem... i think tbh you purchased the tubbed so she is only responsible for repl;acement and if she delivers on that promise i would be very greateful... so talk your neighbour into tiling there kitchen and sell them the adhesive and then go and get yourself some cement based lol...

not greatful to her but greatful you have managed to get anything back!

the bagged stuff is a lot cheaper so would save her money , ive just had my kitchen tiled by my step dad and he did a better job than she did lol, ive only been here a few mths and none of the neighbours have introduced themselves so I don't even know them but can hear them, noisy sods lol, im thinking about getting sound proofing so reduce it a bit
we will see , I don't want to start getting tiles knocked off then her change her mind and me be in a worse mess

sorry pricing isn't discussed in the open forum

oh right sorry , I was just wanting a rough guide so I know if getting decent quote but that's fine

I'm pleased you have had some progress. Keep at her for replacing everything.
S

I will try, i was told yesterday that I shouldn't have 18 mm over board and should have been 9 mm she told me to get 18 mm , and now its going to make it tricker to take loo out and will have a gap under my bathroom door as she didn't start floor tiling under it etc, so should I get that all re done too, omg what a nightmare just gets worse and worse and im so worried my underfloor heating will not survive all this
G
Gazzer
She is sort of right about the 18mm....its 15mm actually but thats hard to find. If the subfloor was in good condition and free from deflection a 6mm tile backer board could have been used. This is standard practice these days.
S
sparkle333
so do I leave this 18 mm down or get 9 mm put down instead then, with the tiles and adhesive im going to have a 25 mm increase in height from landing to bathroom, the floor was in ok condition , the centre area was fine the sides where it had been taken up loads for rewiring and plumbing wasn't so great but then the sides near airing cupboard wouldn't really be walked on , I can only ask her for like to like replacement , that's the problem , is back board dearer
G
Gazzer
you are not going to be able to take the floor up with out damaging the heating cables.
S

oh nightmare then grr, I wish I hadn't have bought this dam house been nothing but hassle for 5 mths as whole house needed renovating top to bottom grrr. so I either leave to try salvage heating mat and then hope toilet has some adjustment to move about, the plumber said theres some but will need a new connection on the back no idea how much that will be
M
Mr Tiler
I think he is reffering to the flexi soil connector thing they are about £10
G
Gazzer
New connection wouldbe an offset , about £6 ish
S

ok so that's not so bad then , is it easy to fit , sir ramic do tillers usually remove the loo if doing the job, as my plumber lives in rugby so a bit far away to come and just do that, ive got someone coming to give me a quote today , and shes getting back to me today after speaking to her mother to see if she will lend her the money. is this pre mixed adhesive a defo no no then , so I can tell her to to get bags if she will agree to that
G
Gazzer
I can and will remove the pan if I forsee no issues. Some tilers wont and really shouldnt have to. I cant speak for another tiler.
As for other questions, this thread is so long now I am getting confused to who did what and what with. Also with what you intend to do to get a satisfactory result.
I see you are talking about removing the floor now...totally confused.com :huh2:

I don't want to remove the floor, I had someone come take look yesterday and he told me whole job was a mess from start to finish inc the floor , and recommended all tiles and floor to be removed , im going to try see if can keep floor and ive just ordered a toilet offset, the toilet has only been in about 2/3 wks , but I would rather find someone that can do all than get someone in to do loo etc. im sorry to be a pain guys , but ur being so helpful
S

mr t bag are you still happy to come and help me tomorrow like you offered, your inbox is full so I cant message u thx

Why not just add up the amount you spent on tubs etc, and ask her to refund the total amount. Then put that towards the next tilers bill.
Getting involved again in supplying materials could cause more trouble hey
Q
Qwerty
Looking forward to see how this all pans out
