Show Us YOUR Work Thread - Tilers Pictures

Edit May 2024: THIS is a New Show Us Your Work Thread for 2024 Onwards

This is the new Tilers Showcase Forum where we want new tiling work added, with each tiling job you complete having a thread of its own so people can see what kind of work you do, and potential customers can find your work

---

---

---

I thought it was about time we had a thread dedicated to all members of Tilers forums to show us any work that they do.

Be it from installing a kitchen to garden decking. Show us your work! Get those pictures taken, but then do something with them! Actually add them to a thread and some facebook groups with your website link in them etc and it'll help spread the tile love.

If you have done a job then please do share it with us.

Pics are a MUST as what is the point of sharing a job without them..:smilewinkgrin:.

So if you do a job and you take a few pics then please do share it with us.

Lets make it a big thread for all to view and input in.

Thanks Dave ..

That is unusual that Don..
What boards did you use on the ceiling section..?

 

[DHTiling]

Just completed these Geometric patterned steps this morning.. tiles were from original style.

Before after shots...

The steps were well out of shape so had to try and square them up as well.

Had to try and keep black step tread mitres the same size on all corners so cross bonding needed to attain this.

Grouted with Mapei 112..and sealed with Aqua mix ultra-solv.

 

[merlecollins]

I've just done a small porch floor with their Fotheringhay Pattern and Browning Border - Definately a job for patience:builder2:

 

[mikethetile]

Nice work Dave

Nice work Dave

So did i!!! I zoomed in and went hmmmm

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Similar job Dave same tiles I think

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Same design but hand cut from Pilhingtons (RIP) Dorset range - lets hope someone takes them over - a lot more cost effective than other ready made types!

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Quality TJ, I would imagine it would be cheaper for the customer if I cut my own. Rather than pay the extortionate prices, I might suggest that option in future

 

[Time's Ran Out]

It does work out a competitive price for the customer, but you can increase the labour figure considerably. Once you've set the template up for the octagonal piece you can cut the main tiles within an hour (3-4 mts) and the bonus is you keep all the corners for future borders.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Cheers for that John, lets hope someone does take over Pilks. Maybe we could club together (TF) and make them an offer

 

[diamondtiling]

So did i!!! I zoomed in and went hmmmm

Me too..........:lol:

First thought that entered my head was "That cannot be Dave's work?"

:lol:

 

[andy8758]

To Dave, Phil Hobson and Timeless John - amazing stuff with those steps/porches/hallways. As a relative newbie to professional tiling, I now appreciate the time and skill required to get such a good finish for these jobs -mind you I suspect you guys managed to do the jobs in a spare morning .... :lol:

 

[Fred]

Some extremely good tiling going on in this thread, great work ............

 

[Ken Bruty]

Quality looking job Kev and nice photos too

 

[Pebbs]

These are my work in progress photos, The total area is 100m2 broken into 4 bays. I had the first area dry laid, which is a good job because as it turns out there has been a load of cutting to do. Anyway were getting there now. I will post more when we are getting towards the end of this corridor?!

Pebbs

 

[merlecollins]

Pebbs thats amazing work:yikes:

How did you cut the central compass emblems? Water jet or by hand?

 

[Pebbs]

Aww thanks for that glad you like it.
Water jetted, and then found that everything else had been oversized and to be cut on site :mad2: Then found out that the central point has to line up with the chandelers which meant I had to start the setting out all again. Slow work, but its coming along nicely now.

I did a very similar job, only in travertine, in an office building a few years back and had the exact same problem Lyn:mad2: Only I sent the whole lot back to the water jet company who turned it back around in 48hours for me

 

[DHTiling]

Very nice Lynn.. your lads should be proud..

 

[Pebbs]

Some time ago I advertised for some stone fixers for this portland stone staircase, anyway it was all good and the job got done. These are a few photos from some of the areas we did, I'll try and post some other areas later this week. Had a bit of a quarrel on site and didnt feel like taking any more.

Before any of you eagle eyed lovlies point it out, yes I am aware of the gap between the treads and the stringers...My stone was in first so they messed that part up...time for a snagging session I think!

[DHTiling]

Very very nice...

If aleady prepped Mike, depending on boder detail. I would say 5 days tops

 

[Spud]

lovely work Lynn ,fantastic centre piece was that manufactured in this country?

 

[Pebbs]

No Gary, all selected, fabricated and cut in Italy, and had it dry laid over there. That way I only had to worry about it arriving safe and sound. I got another more complex one arriving shortly, I seem to going through a phase of wanting to do difficult stuff right now. Its keeps it interesting for everyone!

Pebbs

 

[DHTiling]

Deffo interesting.. i love it Lynn.. always attracts attention do pieces like that.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

wow fantastic work there Lynn , love it to pieces ,top quality do you have a web-site???

 

[diamondtiling]

Superb quality, excellent.

 

[stu-180]

Hello everyone, My first post !
Just thought I would post up my first ever Diamond pattern floor its obviously nothing compared to some of the absolute stunning work on here but it was my first time laying them out like this, took my time and planned it out and it went freakishly smooth !

Showed these phots to a friends parents who decided they loved it and got me to do 22sqm for them, lot of cuts and templates but loved how it turned out.

 

[merlecollins]

Well done Stu mate - smashing job there

 

[tommyzooom]

Nice one Stu

 

[DHTiling]

Nice one Stu and welcome.. what a first post ..PICS!!..

 

[stu-180]

thanks !

Got my 20sqm bathroom to tackle next (brickwork style) walls and then straight layout on the floor as well so will post some pics when thats all done as well (not done brick work before so will be a nice challenge).

 

[DHTiling]

Look forward to them..

 

[Spud]

well done stu nice floor

I did a kitchen/dining room for a mate on saturday with 330 x 330 ceramics

thanks dave. i think they're called granitiko. plumber couldnt drill through them :lol:

 

[Colour Republic]

nice design, I like it and didn't think I would from the thumbnails

 

[DHTiling]

Yes they are very hard...LOL.. i love it when i fit them and the plumber ask what they are like to drill... fine i say..:lol::lol:.. till next time i see him and i get that look..

 

[Burnsy]

Very trendy design that. Lovely job

the lady customer designed it. i just did what i was told:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Pebbs]

This one is a works in progress, I will take more photos next week towards the end of it being laid. I did the original design in diff coloured marbles and then the interior 'designer' talked the client into changing them to these. Colourwise I am very disappointed with the changes, but if thats what they wanted, then thats what they got. Never mind you cant have everything, I had a great day today, it was good to be back out on site working things through with the boys. We had a nightmare when the closure stone went in because the joints had to be adjusted again. No rapid set on this one!

WOW, that is some fine work there !

How on earth does this come together ?
Do you have to have all the pieces specially made ??

Have seen this type of work in fancy hotels and always wondered how they go about having it created.

 

[dick turpin]

wow....there is some amazing work there guys.....:hurray:

 

[Richard Edwards]

I spend time in doorways!

John - did you do this in one piece ?

Now thats a bit special - I presumme its a public area ?

I would allow about 5-7 days after prep work - including sealing and polishin coats

Show us some pics afterwards please

 

[Richard Edwards]

That is what I call special - It looks like your keen on Ditra mat on this work Lynn - Is this standard practice for you on these large marble floor designs.

I am correct in seeing this pic - is that a very large section of Cappaccino Marble outside the circle - and was all these sections cut with hp water and layed dry in Italy ?

Amazing

 

[Pebbs]

Thanks for all the lovely comments. I started working out this floor about 14 months ago, at that time I thought we were running with white, black, red and dark green. Then the client got his mind changed by the 'interior designer' and it resulted in these colour ways. Originally it was going to be fabricated in Italy, and then it got moved to China... mad2: I dont like Chinese production), but it was 65% cheaper than the Italian quote. Heres the sad bit, a lot of the marble was shipped from Italy in slab to China and then fabricated, this world has gone crazy. It was dry laid over there before being shipped, and what the photo doesnt show is the mistakes they have made. I was going through some of the pieces yesterday and noticed a lot of it had been rodded, which basically means something has broken along the way and its been pieced back together.
You have to ditra mat, and the substrate has to be as flat as a pancake or your looking at a disaster in the face. No one will ever see this floor, except the client and his family once its finished its private residential, everything in it is marble, including the 22 bathrooms! Thats life I guess!

Pebbs

 

[DHTiling]

22 bathrooms..:yikes:..jesus

 

[White Room]

You sure it dos'nt double as an hotel with that amount of bathrooms:yikes:

Lovely work, great video

 

[Richard Edwards]

Pebbs

Binkin' Nora 22 bathrooms - How big is the family exactly

If you cannot get the pieces to lay exactly flat - presummably you would hone it until it was - then polish it back then ?

 

[leeroberts636]

Wow as someone who is new to the tiling business I break out into a sweat if I have a splash back to do. At least looking at these pics I now know what I have to aspire to!

cheers for the pics great work

[Pebbs]

Richard Theres only five of them going to be living there from what I've been told! I did turn a bit green with envy when I saw the drawings that include a spa room, private pool, sauna, and to top it off......grrrrrrhhhhh a private hair and nails salon!

You got it in one, its all got to be spun up and polished, the whole area!

Pebbs

 

[Al@Lifetiles]

Really outstanding work on here. It's nice to see some passionate tiling going on! A hard act to follow but i tiled what i think is an unusual shower tray this week and thought i would share it with you all. The jury is still out on whether its just a bit wierd, but let me know what you think!

 

[Time's Ran Out]

John - did you do this in one piece ?

Almost! - the template is made for the full area and loose pieces just for any on site 'filling in'.
Changed the method of fixing on the last one - put the border in first then the centre 'panel' - and its taking far too long to complete with site visits/access.
Its like the wheel - why reinvent when it works!

looks nice.. so is there a curved screen for that..?

 

[Al@Lifetiles]

Hi Dave, yeah there will be a frameless glass curving screen with a couple of doors at the front.

 

[DHTiling]

please do show us more pics when completed..

 

[PJ Tiling]

WOW! the quality of the work from you guys is amazing, something I can only dream of aspiring to.

 

[irishjas]

nice job

 

[LJH Tiling]

Hi all, i mnew on here. I thought I would share some pictures of a job I finished in the last few days. Lee

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Is that tile on tile Lee?:smilewinkgrin:

 

[LJH Tiling]

And a recent barn conversion we done.

This project was undertaken in 3 weeks. Using Mandarin Stones Ecru Marble, Laid in Roman Opus Format. Final project was 150 sq m, the whole ground floor was tiled.

 

[LJH Tiling]

Is that tile on tile Lee?:smilewinkgrin:

BAL Self Leveller was used 1st, to about 3mm.

Original floor wasnt too out of level, but best to be safe, especially as the complete floor is on show, no plinths etc. So had to be a perfectly flat finish.
