Just doing a bathroom at the moment, and used some interesting tiles that I haven't seen before, they were a bit of a pain to cut, as they have fake grout grooves in them, so couldn't score them to cut, had to angle grind every one!
I think they look quite good when down though, what do you...
Just had an email from a website called Trade Monkey, and after having a look, their prices seem quite good. Looks like you have to buy 5 bags of addy at a time though.

Hi all,
I usually tile down to to the top of baths after fitting them, but in this situation the bath is an exact fit in the space it's in, and has a plastic side panel.
If I tile down to it, then the tiles down the sides of the bath will stop the bath panel from being removed afterwards...
Hi guys,
Just started a job today ripping an old shower out, was planning on using plasterboard/tile backer and then tanking but have discovered many potential problems.
The plastered wall is soaking wet near the bottom, just crumbles away when you rub it. The battened wall, has old tiles...
Here's a bathroom I ripped out recently, the floor was chipboard and hardboard, completely soaked through and leaked through causing a huge hole in the ceiling below. Why do people do it?!
Ended up replacing the entire floor with 25mm WBP ply.
