Marble slab wall(one piece)

[hillhead]

Hello people,
i have a bathroom to start monday i think,lol.
anyway its marble or porcelain,but in it there will be a marble slab 1.8m x 1.0m basically attached to a straight wall,prob a shower in behind it.
I was wondering have any of you folk fitted one of these before?
Apparently the tile shop has supplied two tubes of something to stick it to the tiles !!!:yikes: i'd rather sink it into wall a bit and tile around it if you know what i mean. or use some sort of brackets? any ideas lads and lasses?

Not something I've ever done but did chat to a tiler who put a few up for an exhibition, used addy but had to make sure it was fully bedded onto the wall. You might need a hand for that slab.

I'll see it saturday morning hopefully,i imagine it will be around 40-50mm thick,also think they have dropped the marble from the walls and are going porcelain now,the tiles are waiting on me anyway,one of them jobs where i haven't even priced it but have it.
