I'm currently doing my bathroom and won't be doing the floor first although it will look like I did when its finished. I'm doing the walls above a support batten first, then the floor. Then removing the batten to do the remaining bottom row on the walls. I figure I'm less likely to drop stuff on the floor tiles this way. Is it worth suggesting she gets an inspection done by the tile association or is that opening a can of worms? https://www.tiles.org.uk/services/technical-inspections/ Never do the floor first Certainly not on timber floors One of the main reasons is damage and with these four bathrooms all the floor joints line with the walls Much easier to line up the floor with the walls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Looks great to me. Floor first afaic. Better detail at wall to floor joint. I did mine like it and just put Correx on the tiled floor afterwards, taped on around the edges. Yes a bit of cleaning up but then I'm time rich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you will get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like you will get paid. I’ve sent someone today to grout it all She seam happy She didn’t like the dark edges of the tiles and didn’t like the edge beads being held on with gaffer tape The builder shouldn’t have let her look at a half finished job Just for reference for those getting tile quotes Average of wall and floors 53m2 My laboure price £1643-1113 for the other tilers for three I tiled the one pictured in two and a half days but I don’t grout anymore 😁 I just had these rates to hand as I thought we would be taking them back up May help forum members with there tiling budgeting Ps Ive had to buy the tiles and adhesive 5% profit on that Unlike Buildhub members The builder will pay me in 8-12 weeks time ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If layers. Its seems very competitive. I was told one bathroom tiling labour cost was 1000.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysimon Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 i'm afraid i don't like the small cut on the right hand side any reason for not starting at the centre of the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linear wetroom tray Look at the floor, and then the grout line centre of the drain. Grout lines are rising on both axis, so he's done 1000% what I would have done. When grouted there would be very little visual reference to say that back wall was 'off-set'. Job is Tres Bien. Customer is being a dick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
