Tried that . Opened all 4 boxes . Even if you get 2 that line up ‘quite’ near - means the 3rd one might be more out ... ?

Go away @Gav_P or I’ll cry ! . The problem isn’t my skills - it’s that tile manufacturers don’t function at my level ???

Once you’ve grouted and put all the fixtures and fittings in I’m sure it will look great. 1

Onoff Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 In all seriousness I found it hugely annoying to look back and see some of my grout lines. Htf did I miss and not correct them? Inexperience I'm sure. At least you used a tile levelling system! 1

Worst job of the whole bathroom refurb for me. How quick will this stuff set I was thinking and rushing it. I put too much adhesive on for a start and got in a right mess. I should have relaxed, stood back and viewed the bigger picture. What about a really contrasting grout...like black to take the eye off the offset grout lines? 1

I’m struggling to be a mm out - but alas not everyone else is . Tbh the ‘affect’ - just standing back and looking at it is ace . But, still hurts a bit ?
