I'll order it . Find i.e. make a scratch; and get it for half price ? Well - it's looking like I might push the button on this - still need SWMBOs final input.

Why disappointed? The outside will never need a clean! I am braver than you. SWMBO ( I'll hand this to you or @Onoff for a witty response ) enjoys a big black one in the bathroom.

Is it wrong? I mean the WC will be white - would it look out of place? I should point out we have very dark floor tiles ( once down ) a black sparkly shower tray. Can't work out if a black bath is too much ( walls are light grey tiles ) or if it's a STATEMENT! ( that's the type of crap Kevin McCloud would say; so I'll just copy him, if Sarah Beeny says it also then that's fine. ) Vote's please!

Masochistic tiling today ?

Well ! The mitre accessory hasn’t turned up , which is what I really need . Just tried to cut thin steel with it - neat cut . Later need to cut a square in a tile , so will try that . Plunge cut on my big tile cutter is just too large ...

That’s because I started in the bathroom but then did the ensuite for a bit . Title should be “ Doing fecking stuff might be bathroom might not be “ Bottom one is in . Will do top tomorrow. Got myself a dremel dsm20 - hoping this will give perfect mitres - then my tessties will swell . I think lining up everything to fit a tile is sometimes impossible . One wall in the bathroom has 2 recesses and a window . Hence my professional made mitring solves all this planning bollocks .

I've confused you then confused myself. These recesses are the ensuite - the trim is already in. My 'bodge' L shape mitred trim will be in the bathroom - haven't done that yet...

Led strip - not just 1 led a row of them . I’ll live with it

Yes

Actually a tile stuck ontop would block the led ! So it would all have to come out . Think I’ll live with it . It’s because I’ve been laying these horizontally so not thinking of vertical !! ??

Not sure what you mean . The side reveals I was going to do as whole tiles I.e no horizontal grout line

Doh ! . For reasons unknown I put 2 tiles in the rear of the recess . If I just rotated the full tile would of got rid of the grout line . What was I thinking !! If SWMBO says nothing then that’s good - if she mentions it I’ll just stick a tile on top ! . Those ain’t coming out an easy way . Must be getting tiling fatigue syndrome ( TFS )

Could you not just mix watery grout and tip it Ali g the grout line ? . Once that sets re grout ? . Are you being lazy ?? Spell check really “ all along “ becomes “ Ali g “ !!!

Floors back buttered it is then!

I think that video was one of Nicks efforts when he was on holiday in the USA.....

I’ve watched numerous videos on tiling a floor . Do you / should you back butter ? Some videos do - some don’t ! Back of most tiles are fairly level and no obvious voids . Also some just twist the tile down ( can’t see how that works except for the 1st tile ) - some lay square then gentle rubber mallet tap ..... I’m guessing there is no right way ? Just a choice of approaches ??

I’m not worried ! But yes ! If my floor was like that with movement- it’s a good thing to be aware of

Right ! I’ve knocked the corner of every tile ffs ! . One is hollow . @Onoff stop putting up these tiling horror movies ! They scare me too much

I swear one corner moves ! ( outside the shower area ) . Not like in the video though - perhaps a fraction of a mm . Or my eyes are tricking me !!! . I need to walk away from the tiles . I was confused how he suggested water / vapour can get behind the tiles ( assuming no gap of course ) . Surely that simply shouldn’t happen ?

I thought it was a really good job ? Sad thing is I went round pushing the corner of my tiles to see if they moved ...

With some walk on glazing obviously!

Just re read original post ? yeah Roman tray heavy !!! ?

Roman stone tray and merlyn shower enclosure . Not cheap at all - but excellent quality

Got one . It’s the sawing action to get a perfect clean cut that’s the issue

Yes . Only about 2mm thick . I need to do 45 degree mitres so holding the metal in a mitre block and a dremel not really do able . I googled hss blade for a hacksaw - that worth a go ?
