Onoff Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) 7 minutes ago, newhome said: It’s all discontinued before you’ve ever used it? ? Using the bath and I've tested the body dryer, all good. Everything was new / unused for whatever reason. The bathroom suite was in a Homebase 50% off sale. The two Geberit frames; they had a very thin stud wall downstairs and these were too deep. They could have used one upstairs but the SWMBO wanted upstairs and downstairs to match. Both for £100 result! The body dryer I got when the people had just had a new suite fitted and didn't want the hassle of running a new dedicated supply. They thought it could come off "the light circuit". Edited September 8, 2018 by Onoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 (edited) Just realised (SWMBO should have checked ) that the mosaics are 398x248 and the main tiles 400x250mm. So on the height of the mosaics I'll have to "lose" 2mm at each tile. I'll just position the mosaic strip central to the tile and have a 1mm wider grout gap.

CC45 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Arent those tiles meant to be on the wall. Over half way through my wall tiling although its not as big an area as @Onoff Out of interest - what adhesive do you all use and how much is it? Got some rapid set stuff now - too rapid. Getting bored of cleaning gear after every 5 tiles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recoveringbuilder Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Ok so I got a tiler on board, have a ton of tiles waiting to be laid and various bags of adhesive and grout, I got a trade account with walls and floors and checked with the tiler if the price I was paying for the adhesive seemed reasonable, yes says he , then tonight he phoned wanting tubs of ready mixed adhesive, told him it was all here now and I ain’t buying any more, he’s not wanting to use the bags, says it won’t do! Anyone anything to say re ready mix v bags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhome Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Thought ready mix was for the likes of the DIY community. Surely a professional would use the bags? No ready mix used here ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan52 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Bagged adhesive is the only way to go. I would be slightly worried if he wants tubs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Tiling and everthing else taking a back seat at the mo due to elderly parent issues! I was bricking it using the bagged Laticrete stuff as it was a first for me but in reality it's lovely imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
