Mentioned a water jet company on a prev thread ! This job in picture involved tiling a bathroom and wet floor, and also a cupboard made by a joiner, as the cupboard had a lot of thin strips to be cut for the face I asked the tile shop to cut them with their water jet cutter ( at branch in Harrogate ) Well you have never seen such a mess, every single strip was a diff size, although I gave them exact measurements. Ended up cutting myself. So a water jet machine is no good in wrong hands.
Picture is of un-finished job, in case anyone mentions lack of grouting on floor.

looks like a lovely job but couldn't they have used a stainless steel waste on a job like that?

Mosaic Wet Floor was a bit of a beggar. Mosaic tiles were 5mm thinner than adjoining tiles, also where wet tray met adjoining floor at either end ( the adjoining floor dropped off by 10 mm either side). Had to construct my own fall with addy at perimeter & and at each end. Customer did not want shower screen, so had to be 100 % that water would run back into drain

I think a wet room without a screen does look good but personally I think they aren't that practical if the room is cold, as soon as the shower is turned off I shiver like mad, at least with some sort of screen the heat is localised so your body has time to adjust to changing temperatures
