    :eek: Their prices and its way overly complicated. Their starter set prices were starting from around £700 into the thousands. To do my hall was around £80

    My own gaff. This job near killed me as my defibrillator went off half way through it. Hence why 4 months later there is still a bit to finish. Ps never using level clips again. Have done a better job without them

    Chrome Edging Trim Question

    I think a bigger problem lies with the fact that it looks like a shower door frame runs up along that window/shelf. Is that a shower door frame?

    Shower screen wall channels

    Now Mac I've worked with a few plumbers and one thing they ain't clued up on is drill bits. Bought the mate a set of 365 core bits just to make his life a bit easier lol Or to stop him breaking my f'ing tiles putting sink and loos back in.

    Shower screen wall channels

    Wall tiling around door/window

    As 3fall says always try and finish on the door wall. Even better when you do and there is no horizontal grout line due to large tiles. Same goes for Windows. Speeds things up a lot. You still want it level but you know that working with 2-3 mm grout lines, if you are off a bit it won't be...
