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 ..:thumbsup::thumbsup:

How to repair a damaged door jam (forced open)

Nothing fancy here at all but demonstrates how to make the repair using my fein to cut out timber and chisel to cut recess for keeper.

Old keeper and facing were put back on, personally I would liked to have replaced.

I you ever make any repairs to wood and need to use a filler I reccomend using metolux Metolux - Products For the Trade Professional this is a 2 part filler that sets in approx 15-20 minutes depending on temp etc. It can be shaped and even staind to match existing timbers both colour and profile. You get the job done quicker instead of using DIY fillers which can take 24hours.

You will also notice the size of the peice of timber I cut out, it was much larger than what was actualy damaged. This is to ensure that the new peice is fixed solid to the existing timber. If you only cut out a small sections then this can be easily forced open . Its probs more important to take this into account if you are making a simliar type of repair to an external door.

I dont normally put up pics of my work but i feel like a change.

This is one of my latest projects and in a way the forum is possibly the reason i got the job due to the customer checking up on tile weights etc.

The previous bathroom fitter had said he would remove the top layer of tiles and tile over the existing blue layer. The new tiles are 600x300 ceramics....need i say more? Ok, it was not only skimmed plaster board but paramount plasterboard :yikes:

I advised them that the whole lot needed to come out and they bit the bullet and had the job done right. Both rooms knocked into one and the wall adjacent to the bedroom had an independant stud wall put up in front so I didnt have to completely ruin her house.

Amazing to see such craftmanship...way beyond my skills,must have been a tiler for sometime lynn?...its funny but when one walks into lobbys or places where this work is done,its often easy just to breeze past the tiling without a thought....personally i adore tiling and take my hat of to those have this art down to a T'...😉
 
And some more pics from the big house up in the dales..

The marble bathroom is straight onto tanked block walls and then skimmed to stone.. and floor is Dural CI onto Gyvlon..

The wooden travertine is onto backer boards and skimmed either side and again floor onto Dural over Gyvlon..

Included some pics of the size of this house.. only pics i cannot find are the down stairs one of 170 mtrs of wooden trav..

Lovely bit of work there, shame they didn't make them both wet-rooms as the tray spoils it a bit imo. Quality non-the-less though.......
 
Wow, what kind of central heating do they have? And those sash windows, are they double glazed then? And yes that window... blimey.. I used to fall downstairs as a kid all the time... aargh!! Hope that window is good thick glass - no running about in the nod then ... Oh, and that bit of tiling ain't bad either.... :lol: :thumbsup:
 
The house is heated via in screed( GyvlonLL) wet heating and is both floor levels.. all gyvlon and wet heated.. very warm..
 
LOL.. Tell you wot Neale.. I would not like to put a price tag on it... it is indeed a perfect house and the views are awesome..
