The taps are actually wall hung to take advantage of the wet wall. So the position of the bath won't affect them.
DIY Tiler - 90 sq m of large format porcelaine tiling making me nervous!

Still maing progress but it is slow, slow, slow. I've been diverted off onto other things like buying doors, handles, locks, etc.
A couple of the doors were fitted today. Unfortunately, when they fitted the skirting they managed to put a nail through a pipe causing a leak. :-(
I went for these doors from Wickes.
Arrived next day and look much better in the flesh than in the picture.
The stairs are now complete.
As far as the bathroom, the hardibacker is on the wet wall. The feature tiles (a work around to avoid slithers) have been sealed and are ready to lay. I just need to catch up on some Silicon in the expension joints where the tiles meet the walls.

hi and welcome. i know the feeling of being able to stand back and be proud of what you've done is great but i think this is a job for a pro. You can get all the advice you need on here but there is no substitute for professional experience. hope this helps Russ

put us in the picture and we will try to help. Sometimes you will get a bit of mess if the adhesive is too much. With some finishes you could allow the mosaic to slightly set and then rake the adhesive off and clean off the surface. You should test a small sample before diving in though.

I've sorted it. I made sure the adhensive wasn't too runny and didn't put too much on. I'll probably do the same for the window header tiles.
I'm not far off finished now (the upstairs bathroom that is). I will post pictures but I've been more than a little busy. It isn't a perfect finish and I suspect that the pros on this forum could pick out a rash of issues. However, it's the best I can do and not at all bad. Moreover, I wouldn't have necessarily have gotten a better job if I'd paid to get someone in. Therte's plenty of evidence from disgruntled customers to support that comment.
And the plumber was sufficiently impressed with my work to ask me if I'd like to do his bathroom! As it turned out, he got someone else in.

Make sure not to mix the adhesive too hard as it will "Skim" quickly hence not bonding properly to the tile.
My garage needs tidying out PJ if you find yourself at a loose end when you've finished your tiling!
I'm glad you've neary finished, please post the pics I promise you no one on here will pick fault.

Don't mind me while I bump some old but popular threads to see if the topic is still active in some way. Wondering if either the original idea or original issue still exists. I've done this with quite a few threads, so don't be offended if this is just jargon these days and not applicable. But I thought there might be a small chance a small percentage of the small number of threads might just be slightly applicable and the thread could get a new lease of life.
Reply to this if you've read a bit and have something to say. 🙂
There IS going to be a bigger chance when i do this, that the thread is dead. So don't worry if that's the case, just don't reply to it, and we'll all move on and let the thread drop out of view again.

Don't mind me while I bump up some older but good threads. If you can contribute to the thread, go ahead. But if it's nothing for you then don't reply and it'll soon drop off the What's New page etc.
