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 ..

I honestly would really struggle to live in the UK now. Life, in general, is much better here but I'm working harder for less money than I ever have!

Spose there’s always some kind of trade off? eh Paul.

 

[WetSaw]

.....and things are evolving in my working life which should mean the work/life balance getting a bit better.

Kool, that sounds promising mate. You’re not the type to jump the gun, so the fact that you’ve mentioned it must mean you stand a good chance. Good news mate. 🙂

Small job I finished this weekend, only did the 3 tile panel, rest by others.

Where does the material for the sides of the niche come from? I assume ( probably wrongly..) that the back of the niche is the "hole" you cut out?

No, you’re quite correct Paul, the back is always the cut out.
The return pieces you try and match from various Off cuts, sometimes you have to think outside the box when actually seeing the connection.

 

[Old Mod]

In this instance, the back shower wall is the cut out from the main wall, and the back of the niche is the cut out from the shower wall.
Break one, break them all! 😀

That's really something super special. Brilliant.

This was a project I was invited on to by @jonnyc sometime ago now, but finally I’ve managed to get some photos of it almost complete. There were issues with the vanity units and they’re still waiting on them.

All the floors were done by Johnny’s guys, and I must say, they were laid perfectly.

I’ve not featured them as that’s for Johnny when he’s ready.

They’re Flaviker 2400 x 1200 x 8mm.

Installed by myself and @Mark Frost

This is one of four rooms we completed.

Lovely work. Great to see this thread again

Yep managed to find it all by myself this time too
Thank you Geoff.
We’re pleased with it.

Ever tried explaining this ^ to a designer?!
They swan around in Porsches and make many times what we do, yet they simply cannot understand what you mean when you explain why you need another tile! 😡🙄

It’s a thankless task at the best of times Mark. I’m actually going thro something very similar at the moment. Very few actually grasp the complexity at the best of times.

Quite simply because they only work in 2d.
I had two pieces of bookmatched magnum delivered and they should have been reflected patterns, you know how.
Instead they were identical.
I called the designer and explained the problem (3 week lead time for more). I kid you not, she said "why can't you just rotate one of them?"
I had to get her to draw on a piece of paper (over the phone) for her to understand what I meant...
"oh yeah..." she says eventually.

As for returns inside niches... I've stopped trying to explain that one. Now I just keep my offcuts and get on with it....

Haha you’re not using the same tile as me are you Mark?
I’m using the Florim Calacatta Gold, 2 sets.
Unfortunately I had to cut a large part of the design off! There’s no internal wrap.
Because I have to have a joint in the centre
Of the diverter.
All the vein on far left of the slab bad to be removed. Easy wrap, crap effect.

 

[WetSaw]

I'm always impressed how they manage to squeeze a bathroom into that tiny space....

This is a very unique steam room Ive been working on for the past month. Its in a new Wellness Centre and Spa at Broughton Hall in North Yorkshire.
Its made of preformed Wedi, thats then had a resin coat painted on with a bit of sharp sand to give it a 'key'. I used Kerakolls No Limits Bio Gel with their Fugalite Bio epoxy in anthracite. So glad I asked for Kerakolls epoxy as I got through 40 pots. The rounded edged mosaics were a pig to clean and Fugalite made a difficult job easier. The mosaics are 11mm metalic glazed plastic faced ceramics by Botteganove.
The gold graduated blended sheets I made at home before hand.
The room was designed by Milk Leisure Ltd. Lights and steam outlet etc still to be fitted.

It's awesone work. Do you find yourself getting itchy to get done after 2 weeks though? Or do you have real patience and the enjoyment lasts all the way through the project?
Personally, I start out really excited but struggle sometimes to keep 100% motivated after a few weeks on one project!

 

[On one]

''OMG'' were my words.
Mean't in a good way.

 

[MTiler]

magic 🙂

Its more about having had enough of working away and the traveling involved, it can depend on the site conditions too when youre on a job for a while.
