There's a tile shop called croc a tile near me. My advice is to not get pressured into rushing. There's always somebody telling you it needs to be done in two days when it's a 3 day job. Just make sure when you leave the job it looks the best you can make it. Packing out and tweaking tiles is all part of it.

Crocotile

Thanks everyone! A splash boy:D I thought that's what they were called, evidently not! Anyway are they worth buying? I've been watching tons of youtube videos lately as I'm becoming more obsessed with tiling as it's all new to me. I've noticed people using those lash tile leveling kits with the wedges etc, are they worth using. I tend to just put my straight edge or level across the tiles and check for spaces etc to make sure they're all straight.

I start tiling a bathroom tomorrow, on my own like I said. It's four pretty big walls with two medium sized windows and a niche. I have been told to start with a full tile off the bath meaning I'll have to work my way down from it and then put my battens on etc. It's a bit daunting just being dropped off and having to do it start to finish on my own. I've been told if I do it and grout it in four days I'll get a bonus and it's achievable, a wall a day basically so it's not too bad! I'm slightly worried as I have alimunium mosaics to put a single line of them behind the shower mixer, straight up. I think they will be tricky as I've not done them before.

I can't go on courses etc as I'm full time and have children so I wouldn't have time for it. My boss wouldn't pay for it as I'm learning from him basically. Are there any resources anyone would recommend? Maybe videos to watch or helpful articles? Again apologies for all the text and thanks for the comments!
