Has he even started the floor yet? A good 6months still to go...?

 

Lol, the floor is finished! 

 

Circa 40 more tiles, grout, silicone and then fit the sanitary wear.

Tips on grouting please, only done the floor back in August and have NEVER done walls.

 

How long should it take me to grout the bathroom? 

 

Is it OK to stop and start grouting?

 

Start at the ceiling and work down, a metre square at a time?

Easy ! Do the lot in a day .( 1 wall at a time !)

i over grout . Then wipe across with a damp sponge ( across the grout line not down it ) . Then profile with a nice piece of copper pipe . Next day just wipe down all the excess and dust .

I've got 2KG of grout. Enough?

Fill the bath with water and grout. 

Leave it full until the grout has cured then empty it. 

Wipe all the grout dust off, and give the lot a good polish. Get your silicone gun out and do all the internal angles until your happy. 

Bingo chuffing Bango. ??

 

Ta. Still not clear on where CT1 comes into play with these 1mm gaps? Do they get:

 

- just clear CT1 wiped off

 

or

 

- CT1, wiped off then grout 

 

or

 

- grout, then CT1 rubbed in...and wiped off

 

Cheers

Took me over 2hrs and 5kg of adhesive to lay 6 tiles! Got the bottom trim CT1'd on as well:

Not sure whether to slope the tiles a bit like I did the shower pockets, when I tile the shelf?
