It’s not too bad.. to be honest it’s like trying to polish a turd in this bathroom! It’s not a perfect job mate, but it’s my first.
I’ve made a schoolboy error of starting with a full tile in the corner though idiot!!!! Won’t make that mistake again!
Thing is though the wall is a bit pissed so as it goes up from the bath I’m now having to cut in 10mm slithers of tile
Horizontal datum to mark the heights of all obstructions to see where I want to start tiling (vertically). I put my level on the wall and it looks ok, I think I’ve just messed up my my brick formation but will double check tomorrow.. either way I can’t do mymuch about it now other than learn from the experience
My own bathroom? No. Why do you ask?
Thank you for your opinion John. However, I am an honest person and I forewarned my customer that hers would be the first job after completing my 2 week tiling course with UKPTT. She is well aware I don’t have the experience that seasoned tilers have and she was happy to go ahead. The only way I can gain experience is by doing the work. It was the same when I started plumbing and heating. I’m now at a level high of standard, which is where I will get to with tiling the more I do and the more I seek the help and advice from positive members of this forum. Have a good day, John. All the best.I ask because I think it’s morally unacceptable to charge for work that you clearly have no experience in doing!
Haha yeah it’s not the lightest of baths needs replacing really, all the enamels gone from someone using a harsh abrasive cleaner on it.I bet that Bath was heavy to move out the way.
I’ll let them know.. to be honest I don’t really think they care all that much as it’s ‘just their rental flat’..They can get re-enamelled. Come up beautifully.
I had a customer with that 70’s ‘Blue’ cast bath, basin and WC. They all came up like brand new. Styling was off though.
