Full rip out and re-tile. Opinions welcome

[Anto Holland]

The set out is the best I could get foe the window to be symetrical. Didn't want to start full tile off the wall either. Customer happy. 4m joints which I also explained in another thread because the tile from B&Q were that bad in size. I don't do that ever but they were just so bad when opening them up I had to switch to 4m joints. Told customer first and she actually wanted wide joints anyway.

Ripped out, reboarded the lot.

Some nice cuts around the window their!! Nice work. Could you not have moved the tiles up a few inch to give yourself full tiles around the window?

 

[Anto Holland]

No as the shower tray would have had a really really small slither. Pain in the arse lol but this is literally the best set out I could find. Had to crack and thanks for the comment.

In photo 7 couldn't you have set that wall out differently?

 

[Anto Holland]

This is the way I went for. What would you have done?

Centre tile to centre line & wouldn't have gave you as small a cut at either side.

 

[Anto Holland]

Fair enough. Photo makes it look smaller than what it is though to be fair. Weird but true. I'll take note though

 

[Stef]

If it's anything less than a half tile then switch your tile from starting on the grout line to the centre of the tile.

What I did with the window wall amongst other ways (focal point) most important. I didn't really see any issues with that when setting it so carried on I suppose. Now i'm on here I will probably think what the forum might say before I go with my set out choice haha. Cheers tho. Notes stored.

It's got nothing to do what the forum might say, it's about doing the job & doing it correctly.
I'm sorry but I wouldn't accept that as in my eyes it's wrong.
Yes it's centred on the wall but the tiles are set out wrong..

probably one of the few times were I wouldn't centre a tile from the window, the left hand corner looks too busy imo

 

[Anto Holland]

Ahhh well, can't please em all can ya. Customer very very happy. Most important thing in my eyes. Not saying thanks again as you just constantly come back with something negative.

 

[Anto Holland]

Nothing worse than a window that has different cuts either side. I chose this way, full wrap around in the corner is pretty decent IMO. Happy customer anyways.

You were looking for "Constructive Criticism".
How's it being negative?
You stated you were a better tiler than TJ, I can tell you that he's forgotten more than you know about tiling..
Anyway I said the proof would be in the pudding & there it is..

just saying that in this case, me personally (look at pic 8) there's a riot going on in that corner and by actually shifting the tiles you'd have a pleasing effect down the r/h side of window and wall.

 

[Anto Holland]

You're just one of them guys i'm afraid. Let the past go pal. Stop being bitter, no one like that in a person. Probably why you spend all your time on here looking at tiling work lol. Get out and have a beer I said thanks twice and you still carried on. We know mate, we all know 😉

okay, thread going nowhere..lock down time folks before more mud is slung 🙁

P.s that floor you recently posted. Awful set out and lipped to high hell. Photos didn't hide it. Awful IMO

Who are you referring to....
