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:

Well what can I say Sharon, sleek and understated. Looks amazing, if that’s in a wellness centre you should feel 100% better when you come out
 
My first porcelain project. Ensuite refitted.
New floor in 18mm ply
Hardi 6mm
Ufh
Slc
Tiles600x300 .

Walls, shower area 12mm hardi plus tanking
Rest of walls moisture resistant plasterboard
Used levelling clips throughout but made a mistake as should have gone thinner and used regular spacers to get consistant grout lines.
Usrd mapei slow set adhesive & mapei medioum grey grout ( never again as shading / patching was terrible - took ages to get it looking acceptable.
Thanks to all on here who helped guide me with methods & products. Main bathroom next!

Just an observation: You put tanking on the joints and screw heads on the hardibacker, but did you tank the rest of the board/s?
You know it's not waterproof?
 
The black bathroom two pages back is the husband ensuite. This beige one, sorry Onyx is the wife’s ensuite. One either end of a 17m x 11.5m bedroom 😛😛
 
Well here is a little job I was asked to do blind via a 'mate' .... you know the usual.... 'It's only a small job, about 4m and we have already got the tiles............

Anyho, I turned up to the existing floor, underground basement up on the moors in Rochdale........ (no Cyril Smith jokes please), when I say underground I mean not under the house but underground into the bedrock.

kinell.......i muttered

The blue tiles are laid onto a vinyl/linoleum (tis that old) acting as a decoupler, but it was like the seven seas.

So I persuaded the owner it has to all come up if you want to match the existing floor tiles (just visible in one photo)

So off I went to get good old sand and cement and screeded the floor back to some sort of flastishness (after removing floor tiles and lino of course) and preceded to screed. Going back next week to tile it.

Do you know the fitter who installed the towel rad?
I couldn’t quite believe my eyes when I looked at the pipe shrouds. On a fit of that scale and cost, it looks like plastic talon pipe shrouds were used.

Well I know the plumber, but I can almost guarantee it won’t of been his choice.
It’ll have been, “just use those, that’ll do!”
I was dealing with walls out of plumb by 28mm and external corners that had to be mitred 18mm out of plumb, and his was a new build!

Ahhh the good old builder dictating things.....bastards:tearsofjoy: a builders level is in a whole different league to what a Tiler would consider level....and Plumb.

I suppose I’ve been fortunate and during the last 25 years I’ve never worked for a builder once.
 
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.

Calling that work first class is an understatement. It’s world class!

Kerakolls epoxy is pretty amazing stuff. Cleans up really well. I was amazed when I first saw it.
 
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.
